Abstract

A device for testing vehicle airbags includes a pusher plate that has first mounting holes and second mounting holes, a first pin received in one of the first mounting holes, a second pin received in one of the second mounting holes, a first magnet coupled to the pusher plate, and a second magnet coupled to the pusher plate. The device includes a first mass received on the first pin and secured to the pusher plate by the first magnets prior to and during acceleration of the pusher plate, and a second mass separate from the first mass and received on the second pin, the second mass secured to the pusher plate by the second magnets. Deceleration of the pusher plate causes the first mass and the second mass to release from the pusher plate. The device includes an accelerator coupled to the pusher plate and a vehicle airbag deployment device.
