ABSTRACT:
A molded “shear pin” or spike retainer is used with an assembly of tire-puncturing and tire-deflating spikes. The retainer is a solid U-shaped device having at least two straight portions that are connected together by bends. A first retainer portion is dimensioned to be slidingly insertable through a bore that is defined within the base of the spike. The first retainer portion is also dimensioned to be slidingly insertable through opposing apertures that are defined within a spike holder. When the opposing spike holder apertures are aligned with the spike aperture, the spike is spaced above a floor that forms part of a cavity within the spike holder. The first retainer portion holds the spike firmly within the spike holder. In this position, the spike is axially and downwardly movable relative to the spike holder when the first retainer portion is sheared by a downward force exerted on the spike.
