Abstract
A sensor triggerable by deceleration forces, especially in motor vehicles, which accommodates within a housing a mass that is held with prestress; when deflected the mass is received by the bottom of the housing interior, whereby the interior space of the housing is subdivided into chambers by means of upwardly projecting partition walls which hold fast the deflected mass.
Claims7
A sensor triggerable by deceleration forces which include a housing means having a bottom, a mass retained with prestress in said housing means and received, when deflected, by the bottom of the housing interior, wherein the interior space of the housing means is subdivided by generally upright partition wall means into chambers which hold fast the deflected mass;
- and wherein said deflectable mass serves as an electrical switching element connected via an electrical connecting line to an indicating means which undergoes a change in condition when current flows therethrough.
A sensor triggerable by deceleration forces which includes a housing means having a bottom, a mass retained with prestress in said housing means and received, when deflected, by the bottom of the housing interior, wherein the interior space of the housing means is subdivided by generally upright partition wall means into chambers which hold fast the deflected mass, and the partition wall means starting from the inner housing wall extend in a substantially straight line toward the non-deflected mass, and the partition wall means extend essentially radially in the direction toward the non-deflected mass;
- wherein said deflectable mass serves as an electrical switching element connected via an electrical connecting line to an indicating means which undergoes a change in condition when current flows therethrough.
