1. A gyroscope comprising a member for supporting a vibrator with a bonding wire, said member comprising:
a supporting plate with an opening formed therein to be positioned directly under the vibrator; and
said bonding wire comprising an end portion to be bonded with said vibrator, a fixed portion fixed on said supporting plate, a leg portion extending from said end portion and a curved portion provided between said leg portion and said fixed portion.
2. The gyroscope of claim 1, wherein a first tangential line abuts on a face of said fixed portion opposite to said vibrator, a second tangential line abuts on a face of said leg portion opposite to said vibrator at an end of said leg portion on a side of said end portion and a crossing point of said first and second tangential lines are drawn, wherein a distance \u201cL3\u201d between said crossing point and a position where said bonding wire starts to protrude from said supporting plate on said first tangential line is 10 percent or more of a distance \u201cL4\u201d between said crossing point and said end of said leg portion on the side of said end portion on said second tangential line.
3. The gyroscope of claim 1, further comprising a substrate for supporting said supporting plate, wherein a cavity communicated with said opening is provided in said substrate.
4. The gyroscope of claim 1, wherein said fixed portion of said bonding wire is fixed onto a back face of said supporting plate.
5. The gyroscope of claim 1, wherein said vibrator comprises a driving electrode for exciting driving vibration in said vibrator and a detection electrode for detecting detection vibration excited in said vibrator, wherein said bonding wire is electrically connected with one of said driving electrode and said detection electrode.
6. The gyroscope of claim 5, said vibrator further comprising a driving vibration piece with said driving electrode provided thereon, a detection vibration piece with said detection electrode provided thereon and a base portion provided between said driving vibration piece and said detection vibration piece.
7. An accelerometer comprising a member for supporting a vibrator with a bonding wire, said member comprising:
a supporting plate with an opening formed therein to be positioned directly under said vibrator; and
said bonding wire comprising an end portion to be bonded with said vibrator, a fixed portion fixed on said supporting plate, a leg portion extending from said end portion and a curved portion provided between said leg portion and said fixed portion.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An electrical connector, comprising:
a housing;
a conductive contact member disposed in said housing;
a biasing member disposed in said housing and connected to said contact member; and
a rotatable release member movable between first and second positions, when said release member is in said second position said biasing member secures a substantially fully inserted wire in electrical engagement with the conductive contact member and prevents removal of the inserted wire, and when said release member is in said first position said biasing member allows insertion of the wire in said housing and removal of the substantially fully inserted wire from said housing, wherein movement of said release member between said first and second positions moves said biasing member.
2. The electrical connector according to claim 1, wherein said release member is manually movable externally of said housing.
3. The electrical connector according to claim 1, wherein said housing has first and second openings for insertion of wires in a direction substantially parallel to one another.
4. The electrical connector according to claim 1, wherein said housing has first and second stop members to limit rotation of said rotatable member.
5. An electrical connector, comprising:
a housing;
a conductive contact assembly disposed in said housing and having a first contact portion for receiving a blade contact of an electrical device and a second contact portion for electrically engaging an inserted electrical wire;
a locking member movably disposed between first and second positions with respect to said second contact portion;
a biasing member disposed in said housing and disposed between said second contact portion and said locking member for biasing said locking member between said first and second positions; and
a release member rotatable between first and second positions,
when said release member is in said first position said locking member moves to said first position, compresses said biasing member and allows for substantial full insertion and removal of the substantially fully inserted electrical wire, and when said release member is in said second position said release member is spaced from said locking member and said biasing member moves said locking member to said second position, secures the inserted electrical wire between said locking member and said second contact portion and substantially prevents removal thereof.
6. The electrical connector according to claim 5, wherein said release member is manually rotatable externally of said housing.
7. The electrical connector according to claim 5, wherein said locking member moves in a direction substantially perpendicular to said second contact portion.
8. The electrical connector according to claim 5, wherein a stop member in said housing limits rotation of said release member.
9. The electrical connector according to claim 5, wherein the electrical wire is inserted through an opening in the housing.
10. The electrical connector according to claim 5, wherein said release member is spaced from the inserted wire.
11. The electrical connector according to claim 5, wherein notches in said second contact portion guide movement of said locking member between said first and second position.
12. The electrical connector according to claim 5, wherein said second contact portion passes through an opening in said locking member.
13. The electrical connector according to claim 12, wherein said locking member opening has a coined edge to facilitate engaging the inserted electrical wire.
