ABSTRACT:
A pointer for a display snaps into a hub device. The hub device has a body including a cap, a light shield and a pointer stem molded together as one part. A passage within the body receives an insertion section of the pointer. A latch arm extending into the passage from the body snaps into a slot within the insertion section of the pointer. An area of the insertion section of the pointer is exposed to directed light through a cavity in an underside of the body. The area transmits the light to an indicating section of the pointer. The light shield is arranged on the body to prevent the directed light from reflecting off the hub device onto the display. The pointer stem receives a drive shaft that rotates the hub device and positions the indicating section of the pointer on the display according to measured parameters.
