Abstract
A vehicle occupant protection device (30) for helping to protect an occupant of a seat (10) of a vehicle (12) includes an inertia member (134,334) engaging an element (136,330). The inertia member (134,334) is movable relative to the element (136,330) from an unactuated position to an actuated position in response to at least one sensed vehicle condition for activating the occupant protection device (30). One of the inertia member (134,334) and the element (136,330) has a first surface portion (224,426) extending at a first angle (.alpha., A) relative to a vertical axis (222,422) extending through the center of mass of the inertia member (134,334) when the inertia member (134,334) is in the unactuated position. The one of the inertia member (134,334) and the element (136,330) has a second surface portion (228,428) extending at a second angle (.theta., B) relative to the axis (222,422) different than the first angle (.alpha., A). The other of the inertia member (134,334) and the element (136,330) is movable along one of the first and second surface portions when the inertia member (134,334) moves into the actuated position.
