<p>A vehicle gear shift position indicator having a housing containing a pointer element and a mounting arm secured to one end of that element and projecting laterally therefrom. The pointer element is arranged to traverse an appropriate indicia panel and the mounting arm is connected to the housing through control mechanism which directs the path of movement of the pointer element over the indicia panel. The control mechanism includes a fulcrum about which the arm pivots and a guide which holds the pointer end of the arm to a straight path during such pivotal movement. An actuator cable is secured at one end to a biasing spring and is attached to part of the mounting arm adjacent that cable end so that the arm is moved according to tension in the cable. The biasing spring and mounting arm part are located at opposite sides respectively of a base wall of the housing, and the spring influences the arm, through the cable, to move in one particular direction.</p> |
