Patent ID: 7497117

Claim:
An angular velocity mount arrangement comprising: an angular velocity sensor, which includes: an oscillator; an angular velocity sensing element that senses an angular velocity based on an oscillation of the oscillator in a first axis direction; a package that houses the angular velocity sensing element; and a plurality of lead frames, each of which is electrically connected to the angular velocity sensing element; and a mount member that is arranged relative to the angular velocity sensor in a second axis direction, which is generally orthogonal to the first axis direction, the angular velocity sensor being mounted to the mount member through the plurality of lead frames, wherein: the mount member is spaced from the package of the annular velocity sensor; each of the plurality of lead frames includes: a first end segment that is fixed to the package; at least one extending segment that is a middle segment of each of the plurality of lead frames and extends toward the mount member in the second axis direction; and a second end segment that is fixed to the mount member; and the at least one extending segment of each of the plurality of lead frames is able to oscillate in the first axis direction.
