Abstract
An inertial igniter including: a first member having a wall and internal cavity; a second member slidable in the internal cavity, a striker disposed thereon and a first concave portion; a third member slidable on an exterior surface of the wall, a second concave portion; biasing springs for biasing the first and second members in a direction opposite an acceleration; locking balls in the first and second concave portions for preventing movement of the second and third members when the acceleration time profile is below a predetermined threshold; and a percussion cap primer on the first member; wherein when the acceleration time profile is greater than the predetermined threshold the locking balls are released from the concave portions to first permit relative movement of the third member with the first member and after a time delay to permit relative movement of the second member with the first member.
