ABSTRACT:
An inertia responsive control device in which a ball is provided which is supported by a recess therebeneath which is smaller in the lateral direction than the ball. A control element is pivotally supported at a point spaced from the ball and extends over and rests on top of the ball, preferably by way of a downwardly concave region. Movement of the ball laterally of the recess is limited so the center of gravity of the ball remains within the limits of the recess. Upward tilting of the control element by movement of the ball laterally of the recess is employed to initiate a control function, such as the locking of a safety belt.
