Title
Impact force gauge with wireless notifications
Abstract
Embodiments provide for an impact force gauge that includes a track and a shell that is designed to flex from a first state to a second state when a force exceeding a predetermined threshold is applied along a given axis and that is designed to return to the first state when the force falls below the predetermined threshold along the given axis. A roller is located in the shell and has a diameter such the roller is allowed or blocked from moving to different locations in the impact force gauge based on the force applied thereto. Based on the presence or absence of the roller along different portions of the track, the force gauge wirelessly transmits an indication of whether the force gauge has been exposed to a force that exceeds the predetermined threshold
