Abstract
In order to improve the flexibility of one-piece quartz mounts, the section of the current lead pins that is pinched into a lug and projects beyond the bottom plate is reduced to a web between the bottom plate and the mounting section. The web is bent twice between the bottom plate and the mounting region so that there are formed a horizontal first web section and a second vertical section. The elasticity of the mounts are thereby further improved. The mounting section can be trimmed in the zone where the quartz disk is mounted.
Claims13
A holder for a quartz resonator disk having opposed electrodes for energizing the disk, the holder comprising:
- a pair of lugs passing through glass seals in a supporting base and being unitary with pins on an opposite of the supporting base, each lug being flattened on one side of the base to form a web divided into a first web section, a second web section and mounting section;
- the first web sections starting at a location spaced from the glass seals and extending in opposite directions, the first web sections being of a first reduced width;
- the second web sections extending parallel to one another and being joined to the first web sections by bends, the second web sections having the same widths as the first web sections;
- and
- the mounting sections extending from the second web sections, the mounting sections having second widths greater than the widths of the first and second web sections and the mounting sections each having longitudinal slots for receiving edges of the quartz resonator disk and contacting the electrodes thereon.
