VIBRATORY GYROSCOPE
First Claim
1. A vibratory gyroscope, comprising:
- a pair of proof masses having the same inertia mass, each of said proof masses having a first axis, said proof masses arranged symmetrically in relation to a second axis;
a pair of drive elements, each of said drive elements having a driving axis extending in parallel to the second axis and supporting respective one of said proof masses to allow oscillation thereof about the first axis;
a supporting element with an anchor element for supporting said drive elements to allow oscillation thereof about the driving axes; and
a main body having an inner space for receiving said supporting element, said main body being in contact with the anchor element of said supporting element and spaced away from said proof masses and said drive elements.

Abstract
According to one of the aspects of the present invention, a vibratory gyroscope includes a pair of proof masses having the same inertia mass, each of the proof masses having a first axis. The proof masses are arranged symmetrically in relation to a second axis. Also, the vibratory gyroscope includes a pair of drive elements, each of which has a driving axis extending in parallel to the second axis and supports respective one of the proof masses to allow oscillation thereof about the first axis. Further, the vibratory gyroscope includes a supporting element with an anchor element for supporting the drive elements to allow oscillation thereof about the driving axes. Finally, the vibratory gyroscope includes a main body having an inner space for receiving the supporting element, in which the main body is in contact with the anchor element of the supporting element and spaced away from the proof masses and the drive elements.
