SYSTEM FOR MONITORING TIRE PRESSURE

A system for tire pressure monitoring has a tire valve for disposition on a rim of a vehicle and includes a tire valve stem and a tire valve base, a holding means being disposed on the tire valve base and a tire pressure monitoring unit having a housing in which a pressure sensor for measuring the tire pressure and a transmitter for wireless transmission of tire pressure data are disposed. The tire valve and the housing of the tire pressure monitoring unit can be fastened by means of a fastening element which is implemented in one piece or of the same material with the housing and which interacts with the holding means. The holding means and the fastening element are implemented such that a movement of the tire pressure monitoring unit on the tire valve base is only possible in the direction of a rim well.
