A safety locking mechanism ( 24 ) for a receptacle ( 10 ) in a vehicle includes a moveable mass ( 28 ) which is held in a home position by a snap-in device ( 28, 30, 34, 38 ) and which is deflected when acted upon by high acceleration or deceleration as occurs in an accident. A snap-in device ( 28, 30, 34, 38 ) also holds the mass ( 28 ) in the deflected position. In the deflected position, the mass ( 28 ) locks the receptacle ( 10 ).
