ABSTRACT:
A compact tire deflator is disclosed in one preferred embodiment of the present invention as comprising a compact housing member having a first panel pivotally disposed in relation to a second opposing panel by means of a pivotol engagement. In structure, the housing member comprises an internal surface area being sufficient for housing at least one spike mounting assembly further disposed in pivotal relation to the pivotal engagement. Preferably, the mounting assembly is formed having one or more hollow spikes removably disposed in relation to a compression sleeve which operably engages the bottom end of the hollow spike for introduction within a spike seat. A structural stop is preferably formed in relation to the first and second panels of the housing member and the spike mounting assembly to provide a means for maintaining the first and second panels at an angular disposition to the spike mounting assembly when the compact tire deflator is disposed in an open position. In this regard, the disposition of the first and second panels of the housing member provides a means for actuating a rocking motion when a pneumatic tire rolls on or over the first panel or the second panel, whereby the housing member cants towards the rolling tire thus directing the tip of one or more hollow spikes into the tire to allow the air retained therein to vent at a controlled rate of deflation.
