Indicator apparatus e.g. indicator scale, for motor vehicle, has ring pointer, and stop unit arranged directly next to drive unit and cooperating with stopping face of pointer to limit movement of pointer

摘要

The apparatus (1) has a ring pointer (2) in the form of rings or ring segments and movably supported in a circumferential direction (5). A drive unit (3) drives the pointer in the circumferential direction, and includes a stopping face. A stop unit cooperates with the stopping face of the pointer to limit the circumferential movement of the pointer. The stop unit is arranged directly next to the drive unit, where the distance of the stop unit from the force transmission point of the drive unit to the pointer is smaller than a quarter of the maximum ring diameter (D).
