Abstract
A pendulous assembly for use in an accelerometer or other such device which senses forces acting on the device in a particular direction is disclosed herein. This assembly includes a proofmass, an arrangement including a frame supporting one end of the proofmass for back and forth pivotal movement about a given axis to a resting plane which entirely contains the proofmass when the latter is at rest, and specifically configured mounting pads connecting the frame and proofmass to main support forming part of the overall force sensing device. In certain embodiments disclosed herein the end edges of these mounting pads are exposed. In other embodiments, the end and side edges of the pads are exposed.
