ABSTRACT:
An instrument having an indicating scale and a pointer movable in relation thereto is provided with a pointer clamping mechanism having a bistable retainer that cooperates with a manually operable actuating member to selectively retain the clamping member in either its pointer-clamping position or in a stored position after it is moved to one of such positions by the actuating member. Positive movement of the clamping member between its two positions is achieved by a connector fastened directly to the clamping member and coupled to the actuating member in a manner that causes the connector to be resiliently loaded when the clamping member is moved away from its stored position.
