               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1                 
          through 20.                                                                 
               The disclosed invention relates to protective members                  
          that surround an oscillator of an oscillation gyroscope to                  
          prevent displacement of the oscillator that may plastically                 
          deform support members for the oscillator.
