Abstract
A flexure suspension assembly is provided for coupling the rotatable spin shaft and flywheel of gyroscopes of the type having relative angular rotation between the shaft and flywheel about two precession axes orthogonally related to the spin axis. A cylindrical central spin shaft mounting member is coupled by a first pair of single axis flexure joints to a first bifurcated gimbal member to permit angular rotation of the gimbal about one precession axis and is coupled by a second pair of single axis flexure joints to a second bifurcated gimbal member to permit angular rotation of the second gimbal about the other precession axis. The gimbal members are interleaved and form segments of an annulus concentrically disposed about the central mounting member. An annular flywheel mounting member is concentrically disposed about the annulus and is connected to the first gimbal member by a third pair of single axis flexure joints which permit angular rotation of the annular mounting member with respect to the first gimbal about said other precession axis and is also connected to the second gimbal by a fourth pair of single axis flexure joints which permit relative angular rotation between the annular mounting member and second gimbal about said one precession axis.
