Abstract

A tilt-sensor for detection of a tilt angle is proposed, in particular for use as a roll-over sensor in a car for activation of an occupant protection device, comprising a massive body and an associated receptacle and having the following features: the receptacle is V-shaped in form, an inflection arm is disposed at each inner side of each of the two legs of the V-shaped receptacle, the massive body is configured in such a fashion that it seats, flush with the surface, on the inflection arms at the inner side of the V-shaped receptacle, and extension measurement elements are provided for the production of a tilt-angle dependent measuring signal to measure the deformation caused by the massive body during a rotation or deflection of the tilt-sensor through the tilt angle.
