Vibrating gyroscope
First Claim
1. A vibrating gyroscope comprising two planar vibrating plates arranged to oppose each other, wherein the two vibrating plates vibrate under buckling vibration mode and a second-order bending vibration mode which is degenerated with or close to the buckling vibration mode, and the vibrating gyroscope detects Coriolis force by detecting displacements in amplitude balance of the second-order bending vibration modes generated when an angular rotation velocity around an axis parallel to surfaces of the vibrating plates is applied.

Abstract
A vibrating gyroscope includes two planar vibrating plates arranged to oppose each other. The two vibrating plates vibrate under buckling vibration mode and a second-order bending vibration mode which is degenerated with or close to the buckling vibration mode. The vibrating gyroscope detects Coriolis force by detecting displacements in amplitude balance of the second-order bending vibration modes generated when an angular rotation velocity around an axis parallel to surfaces of the vibrating plates is applied.
