A nondirectional impact sensor (10) capable of detecting impacts in any direction with only a single sensor is disclosed. The impact sensor (10) includes a deformable element (12), a detector (14) for detecting the deformation of said deformable element (12), a mass (20), and a connector (22) secured to a portion of said deformable element (12) and disposing said mass (20) on a normal line which traverses said portion of said deformable element (12), wherein said portion of said deformable element (12) is arranged such that a deformation of said deformable element (12) is enabled by a movement of said mass (20). The impact sensor (10) includes a board (12), a sensor for detecting the deformation of said board (12), a mass (20) and a connector (22). The connector (22) is secured to a central portion of said board (12) and disposing said mass (20) on a normal line which traverses said central portion of said board (12). <IMAGE> |
