Patent ID: 8462415

Claim:
A connecting structure for a micromechanical oscillating structure, the connecting structure being at least indirectly connectable to the micromechanical oscillating structure, on the one hand, and to an elastic element on the other hand, for the purpose of measuring torsions of the micromechanical oscillating structure, the connecting structure comprising: an extension including at least one leg situated in parallel to a rotation axis of the micromechanical oscillating structure and at least one further leg situated perpendicularly to the rotation axis, wherein a length of the extension parallel to the rotation axis is at least two-and-a-half times a length of the extension perpendicular to the rotation axis; and at least one resistance element situated on the extension to measure torsions of the connecting structure, the resistance element being situated in an area of increased mechanical stress when the connecting structure undergoes torsion.
