ABSTRACT:
A impact sensor includes a housing, a weight disposed within the housing for being moved by an externally applied impact that is in excess of a predetermined value, an output lever disposed within the housing for being disengaged by movement of the weight to move in one direction, a first contact point provided on the output lever, or the housing and a second contact point provided on the housing so as to lie on the path of movement of the output lever. The first and second contact points are electrically connected by coming into contact by movement of the output lever, thereby actuating an air-bag mechanism connected to the first and second contact points.
