ABSTRACT:
An air bag triggering device comprises a cylindrical frame, a slide member slidably mounted within the cylindrical frame and operable to open a pipeline connecting a high-pressure gas cylinder to an air bag, and a link mechanism operatively associated with the slide member. The link mechanism includes a latch lever adapted to releasably engage the slide member, a swing lever engageable with the latch lever, a support member interposed between the latch lever and the swing lever and having opposite ends pivotally supported on the latch lever and swing lever, and a pendulum pivotally mounted and movable by impacts applied thereto. The support member is normally located within a critical line connecting the fulcrum thereof on the latch lever to the axis of pivotal movement of the swing lever, so that a pivotal force is imparted to the swing lever to thereby engage the one end of the swing lever with the outer end of the latch lever and maintain the one end of the latch lever and the latching portion of the slide member in their engaged position. With this arrangement, when the swing lever is pivoted through swinging movement of the pendulum to urge the support member beyond the critical line, the swing lever is turned to disengage the one end of the latch lever from the latching portion of the slide member.
