ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a gyroscope which is comprised of a hollow rotor adapted to rotate about a fixed shaft, a leaf spring housed inside the rotor, one end of which is releasably connected to the fixed shaft and the second end of the spring is fixedly connected to the rotor, the spring being able to store energy by the tensioning of the spring. The releasable connection has a finger, borne by the fixed shaft, which extends transversely with respect to the fixed shaft and is capable of being engaged in an opening made in the first end of the spring.
The invention is more particularly applicable to gyroslopes.
