<p>A gas damped deceleration switch for a vehicle includes means for adjusting the force of a spring which resists movement of a mass in response to deceleration. The deceleration switch also includes means for restraining movement of the mass out of a position centered on an axis when subjected to transverse force components of a decelerating crash pulse which tend to urge the mass away from the axis. A preload ring is axially movable against symmetrically disposed surface areas of a flat spring which resists axial movement of the mass. A second flat spring is connected to the mass at a position axially spaced from the first flat spring to stabilize the mass against deceleration forces acting in directions transverse to the axis. <IMAGE></p> |
