Resetable mechanical tilt sensor

A tilt-sensing system comprising:

• a housing forming an interior volume;
• and
• a first tilt sensor disposed within the interior volume of the housing, wherein the first tilt sensor is configured to detect tilt in a first plane, the first tilt sensor comprising:
• a rotational drive configured to translate rotational motion of an input shaft in a first rotational direction about a first axis of the input shaft and in a second rotational direction about the first axis of the input shaft into rotational movement in a first rotational direction about a second axis of an output shaft;
• a pendulum coupled to the input shaft of the rotational drive, wherein the pendulum is configured to rotate the input shaft in the first rotational direction about the first axis of the second rotational direction about the first axis responsive to a tilt motion of the tilt-sensing system;
• and
• a motion meter coupled to the output shaft of the rotational drive, wherein the motion meter is configured to display a measure of total tilt motion of the tilt-sensing system.

A package comprising:

• a top wall;
• a bottom wall;
• one or more sidewalls, wherein the top wall, the bottom wall, and the one or more sidewalls enclose an interior volume;
• and
• a tilt sensor coupled to one or more of the top wall, the bottom wall, or the one or more sidewalls, the tilt sensor disposed within the interior volume, wherein the tilt sensor comprises:
• a rotational drive configured to translate rotational motion of an input shaft in a first rotational direction about a first axis of the input shaft and in a second rotational direction about the first axis of the input shaft into rotational movement in a first rotational direction about a second axis of an output shaft;
• a pendulum coupled to the input shaft of the rotational drive, wherein the pendulum is configured to rotate the input shaft in the first rotational direction about the first axis or the second rotational direction about the first axis responsive to a tilt motion of the package;
• and
• a motion meter coupled to the output shaft of the rotational drive, wherein the motion meter is configured to display a measure of total tilt motion of the package, and wherein the motion meter is viewable via a window of the package.
