Abstract
An acceleration detecting device which detects an acceleration and/or deceleration. The acceleration detecting device comprises a beam, supporting member supporting both ends of the beam, a weight for twisting the beam in response to an applied acceleration substantially provided at the center of said beam, and, a detector for detecting the amount of the twisting deformation of said beam. When the acceleration is applied to the detecting device, the beam is bent and deformed in proportion to level of the acceleration. The deformation of the beam is detected by the detector, and the signal according to the level of the acceleration is output from the detecter.
