ABSTRACT:
A crash detector is provided for controlling actuation of an actuator such as a release mechanism for seat belts, an air bag or the like. A main body such as a ball is located in a bore in a housing and retained by a first, relatively weak spring. A firing pin having a portion for actuating the actuator is axially movable in the housing bore. A second spring biases the firing pin towards an inoperative position. The firing pin is moved to an actuating position when the deceleration force acting on the vehicle, and hence the mass body, exceeds a predetermined magnitude.
