A movement detector and fluid shut-off device, including a housing having an ingress and egress for fluid flow. The device including a valve shut-off means for selectively blocking fluid flow. The valve shut-off means includes a plunger normally urged towards the egress. The plunger has a front end which is capable of sealing the egress. The device also includes a detector means for detecting movement. The detector means includes a free weight hung on internal structure of the housing defining support structure. The detector means further includes release means which holds the plunger in a first position away from the egress allowing fluid flow and releases the plunger to its second, activated, position upon sufficient oscillation of the free weight.

[ What I claim as my invention is:] [1.]1. A movement detector and fluid shut-off device, comprising:a housing having an ingress and egress fluid flow;a valve shut-off means for blocking fluid flow, including a plunger having a detent and a first end for sealing the ingress, the plunger having a first position away from the egress and a second position sealing the egress and tensioning means urging the plunger toward the egress; anda detector means for detecting movement including a free weight which oscillates in response to movement, the housing having an internal structure for supporting the free weight and a release means for holding the plunger away from the egress and forreleasing the plunger upon oscillation of the free weight; the release means being adjustable,whereby upon movement, the free weight oscillates causing the release means to release the plunger and seal the egress, thereby blocking fluid flow.
