Abstract
A vibrating gyroscope includes supporting members that are fixed to the vicinities of two node points of a bar-shaped vibrator. The supporting members extend from the positions at which they are fixed to the vibrator in the widthwise direction of the vibrator. The supporting members also include intermediate portions positioned on the plane (neutral plane) which is substantially parallel to first and second main surfaces of the vibrator and which passes through the approximate center of the thickness direction.
