Zusammenfassung:A drop detection device (100, 200) is provided having a spherical inertia member (120) disposed in an enclosure (110, 112, 210, 212). The enclosure has a plurality of faces (116), each face having a pressure contact member (118, 218). The exertion of a predetermined force by the spherical inertia member (120) on the pressure contact member (118, 218) causes a signal to be activated. There may be two enclosures in a housing (102, 202) of a fragile product to provide a signal if the product is dropped in any one of a plurality of directions.
