Abstract
Accommodated within a trigger casing are a firing pin arranged movably toward a detonator, an inertia body formed of a permanent magnet and defining along a central axis thereof a through-hole through which the pin extends freely, and a cylindrical permanent magnet having an inner diameter greater than an outer diameter of the body. A ring-shaped non-magnetic weight is also accommodated within the casing in such a way that the weight is arranged on a side opposite to the detonator with the body located between them. When a deceleration or acceleration of at least a predetermined value occurs, the body and the weight together move toward the detonator against magnetic repulsion between the magnet and the body. The inertia body then moves toward the detonator through an opening of a cylindrical permanent magnet under magnetic attraction between the magnet and the body, thereby causing the firing pin to move toward the detonator.
