21 Locking sensor for belt retractor US593276 1975-07-07 US4103842A 1978-08-01 Thomas F. Martin; James A. Nagy; Harold R. Scibbe
An emergency locking retractor system for storing a length of safety belt incorporates a sensor which includes a multi-directional pendulum device displaceable from its rest position by acceleration. Displacement of the pendulum is utilized to change the strength of an energy field imposed upon an electrical signal means. The output signal of the signal means responds to the change in the energy field imposed thereon and the changed signal is employed to activate solenoid switches which lock the retractor. The energy field source may be a magnet or a light source and the signal means then may include, respectively, a Hall device or a phototransistor. Movement of the pendulum from its rest position is utilized to move the magnet closer to or further from the Hall device, or to interpose a shield between the light source and the phototransistor, or to change the position of a reflector used to reflect light from the light source onto the phototransistor. The resultant change in output signal is employed to close a circuit which connects a power source to the locking medium.

25 Magnetic switching system US10615473 2003-07-07 US20050007223A1 2005-01-13 Herbert Schulze
This is an electrical switching method and apparatus wherein a magnetic reed switch is activated by means of a disc magnet moving into and out of the magnetic field of the magnetic reed switch. The motion of the disc magnet is caused by gravity, a change in the orientation of a device supporting the disc magnet, a flow of fluid against the disc magnet, an impact affecting the disc magnet, vibration, fluid level changes, or other forces causing the disc magnet to roll or otherwise change its position with respect to the magnetic reed switch. Variations include means by which paraplegics and other invalids can signal for assistance or communicate by blowing breath against disc magnets and where a bank of disc magnet devices can control a diversity of devices such as bed controls, televisions, telephones, etc.

27 Shock sensor US95725 1998-06-11 US6142007A 2000-11-07 Kazunori Yuze; Hiromi Kashiwakura
The present invention provides a small and simple shock sensor which can be easily assembled. The shock sensor includes a hermetically sealed case extending along a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which a shock is to be detected and a fixed reed and a movable reed sealed inside the hermetically sealed case so as to extend in the lengthwise direction thereof. The movable reed is formed of a weight member and a supporting member which elastically supports the weight member. The shock sensor is structured so that when the weight member moves in the detected direction due to a shock, the contact of the tip of the weight member presses against the contact of the tip of the fixed reed and closes the space between the fixed reed and the movable reed.
28 Bi-directional shock sensor employing reed switch US195724 1998-11-18 US6002091A 1999-12-14 Daniel R. Reneau
A bidirectional shock sensor is constructed from a reed switch positioned between two shock sensing magnets. Each magnet is an annular ring which travels parallel to the reed switch reeds on a shaft spaced in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the reed switch. A spring pre-loads a first magnet against a first stop. A second spring pre-loads a second magnet against a second stop. The direction of travel of the first and second magnets is opposite and the first and second stops are positioned at opposite ends and on opposite sides of the reed switch. The magnets and the shafts on which they travel are positioned on identical housings which are arranged as mirror images with the reed switch positioned therebetween.
29 Roll-over shunt sensor US82046 1998-05-20 US5955714A 1999-09-21 Daniel R. Reneau
A ferromagnetic shunt is pivotally mounted to a housing to form a pendulum which swings between a reed switch and a magnet. As long as the shunt remains between the reed switch and the magnet the reed switch remains open. The shunt is held or biased between the magnet and the reed switch by the force of the magnetic attraction between the shunt and the magnet. The mass of the shunt acts as both a tilt sensor which responds to gravity and an accelerometer sensitive to crash-induced accelerations. The reed switch, magnet and shunt are mounted in a housing which positions the reed switch and magnet and controls the maximum range of motion of the shunt. The magnet is located between two sidewardly spaced pendulum arms, which allow the shunt to swing out from between the reed switch and the magnet in two opposite directions.

32 Traffic accident detecting sensor for a passenger protection system in a vehicle US724361 1996-10-01 US5675134A 1997-10-07 Martin Swart; Josef Dirmeyer; Gerhard Mader; Helmut Bresgen; Gunter Dissen
A traffic accident detecting sensor for a passenger protection system in a vehicle includes a low-retentivity seismic mass which can move along a guide member between two extreme positions and is normally held in a first extreme position by a contact pressure. The contact pressure is overcome in the event of deceleration in such a way that the seismic mass then moves toward a second extreme position. A magnet being distinct from the seismic mass has a magnetic field which is deformed to a varying degree by the seismic mass depending on the position of the seismic mass. At least one contact can be controlled by the magnetic field of the magnet. The contact and the seismic mass have such a configuration that in the first extreme position the latter to a large extent constitutes a magnetic shunt diverting the magnetic field away from the contact toward the seismic mass so that the contact is then in its first contact state. The seismic mass does not constitute a magnetic shunt at points distant from the extreme position, so that the contact is then controlled in its other contact state under the effect of the magnetic field. The magnet forms the guide member or is rigidly connected to the guide member. The magnet is magnetized perpendicularly to the direction in which the seismic mass can move. The contact is disposed near a frontal surface of the guide member in such a way that the magnetic flux through the contact depends on the position of the seismic mass.

A shock sensor capable of detecting a shock in a number of directions includes a reed switch, which is fixed inside a body and has a reed contact part with is magnetically changed from a first to a second state by way of a magnet, which is fixed inside the body at a specified distance from the reed switch. A shield member, having a sufficiently large area, prevents the magnetic force of the magnet from affecting the reed contact part when the shield member is in its regular position. A resilient member, in a normal state, keeps the shield member at its regular position between the reed contact part and the magnet, at which the reed contact part is kept in the first state. When a shock is applied to the shock sensor, the resilient member allows the shield member to move to a position where the reed contact part changes over to the second state.In a second embodiment, the magnet is movably held in the main casing at a specified distance from the reed switch. In a normal state, the position of the magnet is such that its magnetism does not affect the reed contact part. When a shock is applied to the shock sensor, the magnet moves to a second position where the reed contact part is changed over to the second state.
34 Impact sensor for vehicle safety restraint system US142045 1993-10-28 US5485041A 1996-01-16 Jack B. Meister
An acceleration sensor that includes a permanent magnet mounted for movement within a cylindrical cavity in a body of non-magnetic material. The magnet has a cylindrical geometry and an outer surface with a first portion of electrically conductive construction entirely around the magnet adjacent to one axial end thereof, and a second portion of electrically non-conductive construction entirely around the magnet adjacent to an opposing end thereof. A pair of diametrically opposed electrical contact leaves extend through openings into resilient sliding contact with the magnet. The magnet is resiliently urged toward one end of the cavity such that the contacts are in engagement with one of the first and second surface portions. Acceleration forces on the magnet move the magnet toward the opposing end of the cavity, bringing the contacts into engagement with the other of the first and second surface portions, such that motion of the magnet within the cavity results in a change in electrical conductance between the contacts.

36 Shock detecting system US178528 1994-01-07 US5440084A 1995-08-08 Akira Fuse; Yuji Tsuda; Tsutomu Nakada
A shock sensor including a switch turned on by magnetic force. The switch includes a reed switch, a magnet sliding back and forth along a case for the reed switch, and a coil spring biasing the magnet in a particular direction. When the sensor receives a shock, the biased magnet moves along the switch case, the magnetic force applied to the reed switch increases and when this magnetic force exceeds a predetermined amount, contact portions of the reed switch are closed and the switch is in the on state. Further, a weight forming an integral part of the magnet is used to increase the kinetic energy of the magnet or, between the coil spring and the switch case, there is a slack which enables movement of the coil spring in the direction of its diameter, either structure allowing the magnet to stay in the on state longer than a conventional switch.
37 Electric switch US885872 1992-05-20 US5422616A 1995-06-06 Peter R. Jackman
An electric switch 11 has contacts 12 and 13 which are initially closed by activating means 14. The invention provides urging means 22 to bias the switch against reopening of the contacts during at least an initial period which is useful if the activating means does not operate for long enough for the electric switch to assume its stable closed position. The urging means is responsive to current carried through the contacts. It is possible to provide a plurality of switches responsive to the same urging means, different switches being provided for different electrical circuits and possibly energised from different sources.

To detect an impact due to a shock with high precision and stability, a shock sensor is employed which provides a sufficiently long closure interval of a contact of a reed switch (1) enough to carry out signal processing. A gap between an outer surface of a magnet (2) and an inner wall (8) of a housing (7) defining a passage for the magnet (2) comprises a first gap (G1) between a stationary position and an activating position and a second gap (G2) between the activating position and a stop position. The inner wall (8) is formed so that the first gap (G1) is greater than the second gap (G2). The velocity of the magnet (2) is lower when travelling in the second gap (G2) than the velocity in the first gap (G1) because air resistance is greater in the second gap (G2). Accordingly, the closure interval is increased. Alternatively, the closure interval of the contact of the reed switch (1) is adjusted by first and second coil springs (3, 49) which independently urge first and second magnets (2, 48) in an anti-impact direction, respectively. To cope with various collision modes, spring constants (k1, k2) of the first and the second coil springs (3, 49) and masses (m1, m2) of the first and the second magnets (2, 48) are selected so that the velocity of shock-responsive movement is different between a first group comprising the first magnet (2) and the first coil spring (3) and a second group comprising the second magnet (48) and the second coil spring (49).
