Speed indicator for fascia of motor vehicle, has light source e.g. micro LED, provided between lower and upper conductive rings and connected to brushes, where brushes cooperate with rings connected to mother board

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The indicator has a dial, a mother board (5), and a crown wheel (10) carrying an annular pointer (4) and rotatably mounted under the action of a pinion (6). The pointer is illuminated by a light source (8) e.g. microLED. The light source is provided between a lower conductive ring (23) for ground and an upper conductive ring (24) for supply and connected to brushes (13, 14). The brushes are mounted on the wheel and arranged for cooperating with the rings connected to the mother board. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used in a fascia of a motor vehicle (claimed) for indicating speed. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The indicator has reduced complexity, encumbrance and cost. The indicator prevents vibrations and improves mechanical resistance of the pointer. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows an exploded view of an indicator. 4 : Annular pointer 5 : Mother board 6 : Movement 8 : Light source 10 : Crown wheel 13, 14 : Brushes 23 : Lower conductive ring 24 : Upper conductive ring.
