FIELD: engineering elements.
SUBSTANCE: area of application: the present invention relates to a flexible guide for a rotary resonator mechanism. Substance: a flexible guide (1, 10, 30, 40, 50) for a rotary resonator mechanism, in particular, a clock mechanism, comprises a first support (2, 11), an element (3, 13) movable relative to the first support (2, 11), a first pair of flexible plates (14, 15) connecting the first support (2, 11) with the movable element (3, 13), so that the movable element (3, 13) can move relative to the first support (2, 11) by bending the plates (14, 15), rotating around the centre (6, 18) of rotation, wherein the flexible guide (1, 10, 30, 40, 50) is located substantially in one plane, wherein said flexible guide comprises a prestressing tool (7, 27, 37, 47) configured to apply a force to bend the flexible plates (14, 15) by moving the first support (2,11) closer to the movable element (3, 13), so that the flexible guide (1, 10, 30, 40, 50) has two stable positions (28, 29) of the element (3, 13), movable relative to the first support, the return moment wherefor is zero, wherein a predetermined angle (2α) of rotation is provided between said two stable positions (28, 29).
EFFECT: increased efficiency due to the increase in the isochrony, so that the operation of the resonator mechanism does not depend on the orientation in the gravitational field.
