Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A micromechanical spring mechanism, having two spring legs, which essentially are disposed in parallel with one another; and at least one stop element, which is placed so as to prevent the two spring legs from striking each other.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A micromechanical spring mechanism, comprising: two spring legs, which essentially are disposed in parallel with one another; and at least one stop element, which is placed so as to prevent the two spring legs from striking each other. 2 . The micromechanical spring mechanism of claim 1 , wherein a width of the stop element lies in the order of magnitude of a dimension of a head of the spring mechanism. 3 . The micromechanical spring mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the stop element is integrally configured with the spring mechanism. 4 . The micromechanical spring mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the stop element is situated outside a region of the spring legs. 5 . The micromechanical spring mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the stop element is situated on a holder for the spring legs. 6 . The micromechanical spring mechanism of claim 5 , wherein the stop element is configured to have the largest surface area possible. 7 . The micromechanical spring mechanism of claim 1 , wherein a material of the stop element is the same material as a material of the rest of the spring mechanism. 8 . A method for producing a micromechanical spring mechanism, the method comprising: providing two spring legs which are situated in parallel with one another; providing a stop element; and placing the stop element so that the spring legs are prevented from striking each other. 9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the stop element is situated in a region outside of the spring legs. 10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the stop element is situated on a holder of the spring legs. 11 . The micromechanical spring mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the micromechanical spring mechanism is used in an inertial sensor.
