Abstract
A vibrator including a loop-shaped vibration system 2, another vibration system 3A, 5A and 5B vibrating independently from the system 2, and connecting portions 4A and 4B. Exciting means for exciting driving vibration in the vibrator is provided in one of the loop-shaped vibration system and another vibration system, and detecting means for detecting detection vibration induced in the vibrator, when it is turned, is provided in the other of the systems, to provide a vibratory gyroscope.
