The mount has a connecting layer made, in one embodiment, of uncured, curable rubber material which is covered by an adhering protection film prior to use. A main body made of cured or uncured rubber material is permanently connected with this connecting layer and has a recess for accommodating the electronic component. A cover preferably made of the main body material, serves for fixing the electronic component in the recess in the main body. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mount for attaching an electronic component to a rubber article, the mount comprising: a main body having a first side and an opposite second side, and having a recess therein for accommodating the electronic component; a connecting layer mounted on a first side of said main body; a protective film on said connecting layer; and an integrated cover on the second side of said main body, said cover selectively covering said recess. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, and further comprising strengthening elements embedded in said cover. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein said cover comprises at least one shaped fixing element configured for fixing the position of the electronic component in said recess in cooperation with the electronic component. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The mount according to claim 2, wherein said cover comprises at least one shaped fixing element configured for fixing the position of the electronic component in said recess in cooperation with the electronic component. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein the shape of said recess is configured to engage the shape of the electronic component. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The mount according to claim 3, wherein the shape of said recess is configured to engage the shape of the electronic component. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein said recess has a cavity shaped to correspond to the peripheral outline of the electronic component. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein said cover is formed with two diametrically opposed lugs, each of which at one end is integral with said main body, the opposite ends of said lugs being adjacent each other and selectively openable to uncover said gap. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The mount according to claim 7, wherein said cover is formed with two diametrically opposed lugs, each of which at one end is integral with said main body, the opposite ends of said lugs being adjacent each other and selectively openable to uncover said gap. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The mount according to claim 8, wherein the electronic component is formed with retaining dowels and each of said lugs is formed with a hole for accommodating one of said retaining dowels on the electronic component. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The mount according to claim 9, wherein the electronic component is formed with retaining dowels and each of said lugs is formed with a hole for accommodating one of said retaining dowels on the electronic component. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein said cover is formed with a lug which, on both ends, is integral with said main body, the width of said lug exceeding the width of said recess. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The mount according to claim 12, wherein the electronic component is formed centrally with a retaining dowel, said lug being formed with a recess for accommodating said retaining dowel on the electronic dowel. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The mount according to claim 12, and further comprising a mounting means on the inner side of said lug, said mounting means being configured to mesh with a counterpart portion formed on the electronic component. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein said cover is formed as a lug, one end of which integral with said main body, the other end of said lug being openable and selectively adhered to said main body to selectively expose and cover said recess. ### Claim 16 (depends on 2) The mount according to claim 2, wherein said cover is formed as a lug, one end of which integral with said main body, the other end of said lug being openable and selectively adhered to said main body to selectively expose and cover said recess. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, and further comprising a shock-absorbing adhesive material filling the free spaces remaining after positioning the electronic component in said recess. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein the electronic component is fixed in said recess by adhesion in addition to the mechanical attachment by said cover. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein the electronic component is fixed in said recess by curing in addition to the mechanical attachment by said cover. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein the electronic component is a transponder body. ### Claim 21 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein said connecting layer is selected from the group consisting of material that is uncured, curable, partially cured, and fully cured. ### Claim 22 (depends on 1) The mount according to claim 1, wherein said main body is selected from the group consisting of material that is uncured, curable, partially cured, and fully cured.
