A key fob assembly comprises an electronic circuit comprising a substrate carrying a plurality of switching elements and a display element. A rear casing member having a first outer rim and receives the electronic circuit. A front casing member has a second outer rim, a plurality of button apertures, and a display window. The button apertures are substantially aligned with the plurality of switching elements and the display window is substantially aligned with the display element. A lens is contained within the display window providing a protective layer over the display element. An elastomeric seal member is provided having an outer periphery captured between the first and second outer rims and having a display aperture defined by an edge wherein the edge is captured between the display element and at least one of the front casing member and the lens. The elastomeric seal member includes a plurality of pedestals aligned with respective ones of the button apertures. A plurality of substantially rigid button caps are each cohered to a respective one of the pedestals and project into a respective one of the button apertures, whereby a button cap can be depressed toward the substrate to actuate a respective one of the switching elements.

The present invention includes a snap-in grommet provided for use in a valve stem assembly. The grommet includes a body consisting of a nose section at the body first end, the nose section having a substantially conical shape to provide for insertion of the body into an inflation hole of a wheel rim. The body further contains an annular section at a base of the nose section, the annular section projecting radially from the base of the nose section and a cylindrical section sized to match the inflation hole and having a first end adjoined to the annular section. A flange section projects radially from a cylindrical section second end, and an axial bore passes centrally through the body. A sleeve is located within the grommet body bore, the sleeve having an outer surface configured to match the body bore and having a bore configured to receive a valve stem.

The present invention includes a grommet and valve stem assembly. The assembly includes a grommet having a body, a nose section at a grommet first end, a cylindrical section having a first end adjoined to the nose section and a second end from which a flange section projects radially. The flange section has a substantially flat surface opposite to the cylindrical section. At least one interface seal is formed on the flat surface as a hemispherical projection located concentrically about a grommet center axis. An axial bore passes centrally through the body, and a valve stem is configured for insertion through the grommet bore. The valve stem includes a threaded portion configured to receive a retaining nut and a flange having a substantially flat surface configured to form at least one sealing interface with the at least one interface seal when the nut is tightened to the valve stem.

A tire pressure monitoring apparatus, for mounting on a vehicle wheel that is configured to have a tire mounted thereon and that has a first opening, includes a tire monitor for sensing pressure in the tire. The tire monitor includes a housing having a spherical surface and a second opening that extends through the spherical surface. A tire valve stem is configured to extend through the first and second openings, and the valve stem has a threaded portion. The apparatus further includes a threaded fastener that is engageable with the threaded portion of the valve stem for attaching together the tire monitor and the valve stem. The fastener has a spherical surface that is engageable with the spherical surface of the housing when the fastener is engaged with the threaded portion of the valve stem.
