Patent ID: 7045931

Claim:
A chip quartz oscillator comprising a plurality of quartz of oscillators ( 2 ; 6 ), each having a first surface ( 2 ′; 6 ′) and a second surface ( 2 ″; 6 ″) joined by a side-wall ( 2 ′″; 6 ′″), wherein each quartz oscillator further has a detection electrode ( 3 ; 7 ) on said first surface ( 2 ′; 6 ′) and a non-detection electrode ( 3 ″, 7 ″) on said second surface ( 2 ″; 6 ″) and wherein each quartz oscillator ( 2 ; 6 ) is flexibly mounted on a substrate ( 14 ), and further wherein the surface ( 2 ″; 6 ″) of said quartz oscillator (S) facing towards said substrate ( 1 ; 14 ) is in contact with said substrate ( 1 ; 14 ) but does not adhere to said substrate ( 1 ; 14 ).
