Abstract
A switch assembly has a magnet (26) mounted for in the vicinity of a reed switch (20). A weight (29) is movable in a direction generally perpendicular to the magnet (26), and is connected thereto by a mechanism (16;38,39,40;44) which translates the movement of the weight to movement of the magnet. The magnet (26) and reed switch (20) are configured so that the reed switch actuates on movement of the magnet.
