  • VEHICLE TIRE DEFLATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20140199118
    Abstract: A vehicle tire deflation device includes a housing structure, a core structure, a plurality of spikes, a first end cap and a second end cap. The housing structure includes a first end and a second end. The core structure resides within the housing structure. The plurality of spikes is maintained by the core structure and positioned in a predetermined orientation. The predetermined orientation positions the spikes to penetrate a tire when a vehicle travels over the vehicle tire deflation device. Each end cap selectively attaches to the respective ends of the housing structure. Each end cap defines an opening and comprises an outer wall. Each of the openings communicates with the interior of the device so as to permit air to pass from the interior to the exterior of the device. Methods of using a vehicle tire deflation device are also described.
