Definitions
- the present invention relates to an in ⁇ needle indicator device such as those used in particular on motor vehicles to display the speed or the engine speed of the vehicle.
- Such an indicator device generally comprises a plate, a fixed dial relative to the pla ⁇ tine, a drive member mounted on the pla ⁇ tine movable and a needle extending in front of the dial and having a connecting end to the driving organ.
- the drive member is generally an output shaft of a motor passing through an opening of the dial. The dial thus extends between the needle and the plate, which forces to mount the needle on the plate after the dial has been mounted on the plate.
- An object of the invention is to provide a means for simplifying the mounting of the device-indicator.
- an indicating device comprising a plate, a fixed dial relative to the plate, a drive member movably mounted on the plate and a needle extending in front of the dial and having a connecting end to the drive member, the connecting end of the ai ⁇ guille being connected to the drive member by an articulated link ITA ⁇ ment allowing a degree of freedom in rotation around an axis parallel to the plate.
- the needle can be brought into a posi ⁇ tion in which it does not interfere with the mounting of the dial.
- the needle can thus be mounted before the dial.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of an indicator device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of this positive section along the line II-II of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a partial detail view of the device of FIG. 2,
- the invention is here described in application to an indicator device implanted in an automo ⁇ bile vehicle, combining the display of the speed and the engine speed.
- the indicating device is generally designated 1 and comprises a housing 2 containing a plate 3 on which is mounted a liquid crystal display 4 which is connected to a speed measuring device which is known in itself and is not represent.
- An arm 5 is mounted on the plate 3 to pivot between the plate 3 and the display 4 parallel to them.
- the arm 5 has an end secured to an output shaft of an electric motor which is fixed on one side of the plate 3 opposite to the arm 5 and which is connected to a measuring dis ⁇ positive of the engine speed not shown and con ⁇ nu in itself.
- the arm 5 has an end portion 6 bent to overlap an outer portion of the display 4 and have a free end 11 extending in front of the display 4 and behind a dial 7 secured to the housing 2 in front of the display 4.
- the dial 7 has substantially a crown shape leaving the display visible and having an outer edge 8 and a circular inner edge 9 over most of their lengths.
- the dial 7 is here made of a transparent material, such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and has a planar bottom of which a portion 10 bears readable graduations through the material constituting the dial 7.
- PMMA polymethylmethacrylate
- a needle generally designated 12 is re ⁇ linked to the free end 11 by a connecting element ge ⁇ generally designated 13 to extend in front of the dial 7.
- the arm 5 thus constitutes a drive member of the needle 12.
- the needle 12 is made of a transparent material such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and here comprises a finger 14 for attachment to the connecting element 13 and an indicator portion 15 having an end secured to the finger 14 and a free opposite extremi ⁇ tee such that the finger 14 extends ⁇ in the vicinity of the inner edge 9 and that the in ⁇ dicatrice portion 15 extends cantilever from the finger 14 above of the portion 10 of the dial 7.
- PMMA polymethylmethacrylate
- the connecting element 13 comprises an end portion 16 threaded onto the free end 11 of the end portion 6 of the arm 5 and an end portion 17 receiving the finger 14 of the needle 12.
- the end portions 16 and 17 are connected to one another by a deformable lug 18 between a first state (visible in FIG. 4) in which the end por ⁇ tions 16, 17 are 180 degrees. ° one of the other and a second state (visible in Figure 3) wherein the end portions 16, 17 are 90 ° one of the au ⁇ be.
- the connecting element 13 is thus articulated to au ⁇ torise a degree of freedom in rotation about an axis parallel to the plate 3 so that the needle is movable between a mounting position (see Figure 4) in which leg 18 is in its first state and the indicator portion 15 of the needle is perpendicular to the plate and a position of use (see Figure 3) in which the lug 18 is in its second state and the indicator portion 15 of the needle is parallel at platinum 3.
- the connecting element 13 comprises means for holding the end portions 16, 17 when they are in the position of use with respect to each other.
- the holding means comprise complementary snapping projections 19, 20 (visible in FIG. 4) integral with the end portions 16, 17 to cooperate together when the end portions 16, 17 are in the position of use.
- the end portion 17 is provided here with side wings in the vicinity of the lug 18 which are each provided with an opening 19. When the lug 18 is in its second state (position of use shown in FIG. ), the wings extend on either side of the end portion 16 which has lateral projections 20 received in the openings 19 to oppose the return of the tab 18 to its first state of deformation (position of mon ⁇ tage).
- the connecting element 13 and the needle 12 are mounted on the free end of the arm 5.
- the lug 18 is in its first state.
- the plate 3 is equipped with the arm 5, the associated motor and the display 5 whose outer portion is slid into the end portion 6 of the arm 5.
- the dial 7 is then mounted in the housing 2, the indicator portion 15 of the needle 12 being engaged in the central ou ⁇ of the dial 7.
- the needle 12 is then brought into its position of use, the indicator part 15 being folded down on the dial 7 and the complementary snap-in reliefs 19, 20 holding the end portions 17, 18 at 90.degree. one another in the use position.
- the connecting element can com ⁇ take a hinge instead of the deformable tab.
- the drive member may be the output shaft of the motor, the dial then having a shape for example of disk pierced with an opening for the passage of the needle in the mounting position (the indicator portion substantially aligned with the axis of the motor output shaft).
- the complementary reliefs of snap may have other shape such as a hook secured to the end portion 16 to hook a lug integral with the end portion 17.
- the end portions can be maintained in the position of use by snapping means or clipping but also by other means such as gluing.
