ABSTRACT:
An inclination sensor is contemplated which includes case means having a cavity formed in the interior thereof, with this cavity having a longitudinal slope which is generally V-shaped in longitudinal profile, downwardly concave, and having a downwardly facing apex. A movable member is movable longitudinally along the slope within said cavity. A detecting means is operable to detect the inclination of a mounting body to which said case means is attached, in response to longitudinal movement of the movable member along the longitudinal generally V-shaped slope. A restricting means is provided by the apex and is operable to impede movement of the movable member out of the apex only until the case means undergoes a predetermined, longitudinal tilting movement.
