See full text

A gyroscope assembly comprises a shaft and a flexure device mounted on the shaft. The flexure device includes three concentric plates. A first pair of diametrically opposed hinges connected the inner plate and the central plate. A second pair of diametrically opposed hinges spaced 90.degree. apart from the first pair of hinges connects the outer plate and the inner plate. The hinges define two perpendicular sensing axis and form a gimbal so that rotations of the outer plate about the sensing axes may be detected.
