ACCELERATION LIMIT SENSOR Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01P15/04 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: sensor comprises a sensitive element in the form of a plate spring with ends fixed in a vessel installed as capable of transition from one stable position into the other one by means of snap-through. In the initial position the sensitive element is S-shaped, formed as a result of its interaction with a stop installed in the vessel.
