ABSTRACT:
An omni-directional impact actuating mechanism for utilization in actuating a system such as a munition device. By utilizing a multi-directional impact sensor the munition device becomes omni-directional in that it can be detonated when receiving an impact force from any angle. The omni-directional actuating mechanism includes: an actuating member which is movable between a first position and a second position, a control mechanism for switching the actuating member between its two positions and an impact sensor which serves to operate the control mechanism for switching the actuating member. The control mechanism itself is switchable between a first condition for initially applying a force for restraining the actuating member in its first position and a second condition for subsequently applying a force for moving the actuating member into its second position. The impact sensor in response to certain impact forces upon the munition device causes the control mechanism to switch from its first into its second condition.
