Abstract
A downhole tool includes a housing having an inner surface. And inner groove is formed in the inner surface. The downhole tool also includes a body positioned in the housing. The downhole tool also includes a plurality of retention members positioned at least partially within the inner groove. The retention members initially prevent the body from moving in a downhole direction relative to the housing. The retention members are configured to yield, which allows the body to move in the downhole direction relative to the housing.
