Abstract
A mechanism including: a toggle link rotatably connected to a base structure; a first element associated with the toggle link; a second element associated with the base structure; a biasing element having a first end attached to the base structure and a second end attached to the toggle link such that the first element moves towards the second element; and a blocking element movably disposed between a first position blocking movement of the toggle link and a second position allowing to first element of the toggle link to move towards the second element when the base structure undergoes an acceleration event greater than a predetermined threshold.
