Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pointer-type meter is provided in which, even when a pointer has a meandering shape, the influence thereof on the operation characteristics of the pointer can be minimized. The meter includes a display 1 , display plates 21 and 22 having indicator portions 211 and 221 , respectively, and placed to allow visual recognition of the display 1 , a driving apparatus 6 placed at the back of the display 1 and having a pointer shaft 61 protruding toward the display 1 , and a pointer 7 pivoting about the pointer shaft 61 serving as a rotation center axis RC to point to the indicator portions 211 and 221 , the pointer 7 including a detour portion 71 and a pointing portion 72 pointing to the indicator portions 211 and 221 , wherein a point P 1 of the detour portion 71 farthest from the rotation center axis RC is closer to the rotation center axis RC than a tip P 2 of the pointing portion 72.
