Mechanical crash sensor

A mechanical sensor for a passenger restraint system includes several primers for activating a gas generating component, and a trigger for setting the primers off in response to a velocity change. The sensor also includes an inertial mass for sensing the change in velocity. The sensor and the restra...

Zusammenfassung:A mechanical sensor for a passenger restraint system includes several primers for activating a gas generating component, and a trigger for setting the primers off in response to a velocity change. The sensor also includes an inertial mass for sensing the change in velocity. The sensor and the restraint system coact to arm the sensor when the sensor is inserted into the system.
