Abstract
Abstract AN IMPROVED SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR ACTUATING A VEHICLE SAFETY APPARATUS UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A COLLISION INCLUDES AN ANNULAR MASS WHICH IS URGED AGAINST AN ENERGY-ABSORBING STOP BY A PLURALITY FORCE TO PREVENT MOVEMENT CONTACT FINGERS WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE TO PREVENT MOVEMENT OF THE MASS TO AN ACTUATED POSITION DUE VEHICLE BRAKING AND THE ENCOUNTERING OF NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. WHEN A COLLISION OCCURS, THE MASS MOVES AGAINST THE INFLUENCE OF THE CONTACT FINGERS TO THE ACTUATED POSITION IN WHICH THE CONTACT FINGERS ENGAGE A CIRCULAR FIXED CONTACT TO COMPLETE A CIRCUIT FOR EFFECTING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE SAFETY APPARATUS.
