Acceleration sensor

Abstract

Abstract 1. An acceleration sensor comprising, fixed at one end in a housing (10, 10'), a rod (14, 14') which is deflectable in all directions, to the deflectable end (22, 22') of which light is supplied which, depending on the deflection of the rod (14, 14'), can be reflected completely, partially, or not at all by a light reflector, wherein the reflected light is received by a photosensor, characterized in that the light reflector comprises a reflection surface (31; 32, 34) the outer boundary (31a; 34a) of which, in relation to the end (22, 22') of the deflectable rod (14, 14') when in the undeflected position, corresponds to predetermined acceleration limit values.
