Shock protecting adapter device for a laser gyro

Adaptation device includes a case (1) of an elastic material mounted on housing of a laser gyroscope (3) that at least partially encloses the housing. A reflector (5) is mounted on the case. A transmission and reception unit (12) is in fixed connection with the housing for determining an angular relative orientation of the reflector. The object to be measured is in opposition to the laser gyroscope. An Independent claim is included for: (a) a method for determining the angle-wise orientation of an object
