Motor for a rotatable and illuminable pointer

摘要

The present invention relates to a motor designed for being mounted on a circuit board, the circuit board having a pointer side and a rear side. The motor can be used for rotating an illuminated pointer. The motor comprises a light conveying pointer shaft for projecting through the circuit board from the rear side of the circuit board to the pointer side of the circuit board. The pointer shaft is arranged to convey light to the pointer. The motor further comprises a light guide for conveying light from a light source mounted on the circuit board to a rear end of the pointer shaft, the rear end of the pointer shaft being on the rear side of the circuit board. Thus, the motor can be advantageously mounted on the rear side of the circuit board.
