ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for detecting collision of a motor vehicle, carried by the vehicle and adapted to produce an electrical signal upon the collision of the vehicle to actuate occupant protection systems. The collision detecting apparatus comprises a rotational member in which the center of gravity is shifted from it's rotational axis so that collision energy applied thereto upon the collision of vehicle is converted into rotational energy of the rotational member, to actuate a contact device for producing the electrical signal. The apparatus is characterized by a simplified and small-sized structure, reliable in operation and generation of the collision signal.
