Abstract
An activation mechanism for a battery for an electronic ignition mechanism contains an ampoule filled with an electrolyte. The mechanism for breaking has a snap spring element to which the ampoule is attached in a freely suspended manner. The snap spring element snaps from a first shape into a second shape when a force due to acceleration is applied, thereby severing the attachment of the ampoule.
Claims19
An activation mechanism for a battery for an electronic ignition mechanism, the activation mechanism comprising:
- an ampoule filled with an electrolyte;
- and
- a mechanism for breaking said ampoule, said mechanism for breaking having a snap spring element to which said ampoule is attached in a freely suspended manner, wherein said snap spring element snaps from a first shape into a second shape when a force due to acceleration is applied, thereby severing an attachment of said ampoule.
The activation mechanism according to 10, wherein said annular spring element is formed by at least one crinkle spring washer.
An activation mechanism for a battery for an electronic ignition mechanism, the activation mechanism comprising:
- an ampoule filled with an electrolyte;
- and
- a mechanism for breaking said ampoule, said mechanism for breaking having a snap spring element including a plurality of holding arms to which said ampoule is attached in a freely suspended manner by said plurality of holding arms over a breaking element, wherein said snap spring element snaps from a first shape into a second shape when a force due to acceleration is applied, thereby severing an attachment of said ampoule to said holding arms, thus releasing the ampoule to strike the breaking element.
