ABSTRACT:
An economical and accurate tilt switch, which incorporates a reed switch, a small disc shaped magnet, and an enclosed track in which the magnet is allowed to roll just enough to affect the contacts of the reed switch. Invented to replace the well known mercury switch, but avoid the environmental hazards of mercury poisoning. The present tilt switch can be adapted into many different designs providing a wider range of switching characteristics than that of the old mercury switch.
