Motor vehicle instruments, in particular for a fuel indicator

摘要

The invention relates to a fuel indicator, in particular for motor vehicles, with a pointer (2) which as main pointer indicates the amount of fuel contained in the fuel tank by means of a specific deflection angle of the pointer. According to the invention in addition to this main pointer (2), a second pointer (2) is provided as reserve fuel pointer for the amount of reserve fuel present. The reserve fuel pointer (1) also has a large degree of deflection in accordance with the deflection angle of the main pointer (2) so that the amount of reserve fuel still available can be read off precisely and clearly from the fuel indicator. In one embodiment of the invention, the main pointer (2) and the reserve fuel indicator (1) are to be driven by two separate coils, the resistance of the corresponding detector in the fuel tank being suitably adjusted for the given degrees of deflection of the pointers. <IMAGE>
