Abstract
A method for initiating a thermal battery including: releasing an engagement between an element and a striker mass upon an acceleration time and magnitude greater than a first threshold; and moving at least one member into a path of the element to prevent the element from releasing the striker mass only where the acceleration time and magnitude is greater than a second threshold, the second threshold being greater than the first threshold.
Claims5
A method for initiating a thermal battery, the method comprising:
- releasing an engagement between an element and a striker mass upon an acceleration time and magnitude greater than a first threshold such that the striker mass is movable towards one of a percussion cap or pyrotechnic material;
- and
- moving at least one member into a path of the element to prevent the element from releasing the striker mass only where the acceleration time and magnitude is greater than a second threshold, the second threshold being greater than the first threshold.
