Patent ID: 7798064

Claim:
A command to arm apparatus, comprising: a substantially circular housing having a flat cover, a flat bottom wall, and a peripheral sidewall that collectively define a hollow interior; a pivotally-mounted rotor disposed in said hollow interior; a rotor pivot pin about which said pivotally-mounted rotor is enabled to pivot, said pivotally-mounted rotor having a first, safe position of rotational adjustment that prevents detonation of an explosive; said pivotally-mounted rotor having a second, armed position of rotational adjustment that enables detonation of an explosive; a locking cam pivotally mounted to said rotor; a locking cam pivot pin about which said locking cam is enabled to pivot; a piston having a retracted position and an extended position; said locking cam having an unpivoted position of repose in close proximity to said piston when said piston is in said retracted position; said locking cam being substantially pivoted about said locking cam pivot pin when said piston is in said extended position; said rotor being free to rotate about said rotor pivot pin when said locking cam is substantially rotated about said locking cam pivot pin, said rotation caused in part by revolution of said housing; said substantially circular housing having a longitudinal axis of symmetry; said rotor pivot pin being positioned in eccentric, spaced apart relation to said longitudinal axis of symmetry; said rotor having a center of gravity positioned in eccentric, spaced apart relation to said longitudinal axis of symmetry and in spaced apart relation to said rotor pivot pin; said center of gravity of said rotor being positioned in a first position southwest of said longitudinal axis of symmetry when said rotor is in said safe position; and said rotor pivot pin being positioned southeast of said rotor center of gravity and due south of said longitudinal axis of symmetry when said rotor is in said safe position.
