ABSTRACT:
A multi-directional shock sensor having a central post surrounded by an omnidirectionally moveable toroidal mass. A plurality of anchor members surrounds the mass and carries one arm of a latching arm assembly. The other arm of each latching arm assembly is carried by, and radially extends from the mass to oppose a respective first arm. A shock event will cause the mass to move in a certain direction to an extent where one or more of the arm assemblies will latch. The latching may be determined by an electrical circuit connected to contact pads on the central post and on the anchor members.
