Abstract
Abstract A piezo-resonator comprises a supporting frame having a recess for attaching a piezoelectric resonator element. This recess consists of three portions, that is, a central portion, a pair of connecting portions which are outside of the central portion and a pair of end portions which are outside of the pair of connecting portions. The width W 2 of the connecting portion, the width W 1 of the central portion and the width W 3 of the end portion have the relationship W 2 >W 1 >W 3 . Two terminals intersect respective connecting portions to be embedded in the supporting frame.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A piezo-resonator comprising: a supporting frame which is made of an insulating material and on which a recess if formed; two terminals which intersect said recess to be embedded in said supporting frame; a piezoelectric resonator element which is arranged in said recess and both end portions of which are electrically connected and fixed to said respective terminals, wherein said recess comprises a central portion in which a vibrating portion of said piezoelectric resonator element is located, a pair of connecting portions which are arranged at respective ends of said vibrating portion and a pair of end portions which are arranged at the outside of these respective connecting portions and at which said respective end portions of said piezoelectric resonator element are located and the width W 2 of said connecting portion, the width W 1 of said vibrating portion and the width W 3 of said end portion have the relationship W 2 >W 1 >W 3 .
