ABSTRACT:
A post supported bell pendulum omnidirectional inertial sensor for seat belt retractors and the like in which the bell shaped pendulum rests on a post and the post is positioned vertically in a vehicle such as an automobile. The bell pendulum has substantially more mass depending in its flared skirt portion and includes a flat top so that upon displacement of the bell shaped pendulum from the axis of the post, the flat top is cocked or tilted and elevates. This mechanically changes the effective elevation to trip or move a stop control lever and cause a locking of the retractor against withdrawal when inertial imbalance is sensed.
