Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An inertial force sensor includes a detecting device which detects an inertial force, the detecting device having a first orthogonal arm and a supporting portion, the first orthogonal arm having a first arm and a second arm fixed in a substantially orthogonal direction, and the supporting portion supporting the first arm. The second arm has a folding portion. In this configuration, there is provided a small inertial force sensor which realizes detection of a plurality of different inertial forces and detection of inertial forces of a plurality of detection axes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An inertial force sensor comprising: a detecting device which detects an inertial force applied in a direction parallel to a X-axis, a Y-axis, or a Z-axis, the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis being orthogonal to each other wherein the detecting device includes: two first beams, and two second beams each comprising a pair of beam portions extending from one of the first beams, each end of the two second beams has at least one folding portion,…
