Abstract
A vibratory sensor includes a resonator element including (i) a first base portion and a second base portion, each ot the first and the second base portions having an upper main surface and a lower main surface, (ii) a resonating arm extended in a beam shape between the first and the second base portions to be vibrated at a predetermined resonance frequency, (iii) a first narrow portion formed by reducing a width of a portion extended from the first base portion to be smaller than a width of the first base portion in a direction orthogonal to an extending direction of the resonating arm, (iv) a second narrow portion formed by reducing a width of a portion extended from the second base portion to be smaller than a width of the second base portion in the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the resonating arm, (v) a first support portion extended from the first narrow portion in a direction opposite to the first base portion, and (vi) a second support portion extended from the second narrow portion in a direction opposite to the second base portion.
