Patent ID: 7584661

Claim:
A tuning fork gyro sensor comprising: a tuning fork vibrator including: a pair of arms that extend parallel; at least one arm electrode on a surface of each of the pair of arms; a base that supports the pair of arms; and supporting members that are arranged on both faces of the base such that the supporting members are positioned at the equal distances from both the pair of arms, and that project from the both faces of the base, the both faces being in a perpendicular direction to both a direction in which the pair of arms extend and a direction in which the pair of arms are aligned, and that are conductors which are electrically connected to the at least one arm electrode; and a casing that is hollow to house and support the tuning fork vibrator by supporting the supporting members, and that includes connecting electrodes connected with the supporting members on an inner wall of the casing supporting the supporting members.
