Display instrument and method for assembling same

1. A display instrument with an indicating scale, comprising:

a pointer element; and

a cover element;

wherein the pointer element is formed as a two-piece component comprising a pointer tip and a body, whereby the pointer tip is arranged in such a manner that it is pivotable and/or rotatable with respect to the body in a plane parallel to the cover element while the pointer tip and the body are mechanically interconnected.

2. A display instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the pointer tip is pivotable and/or rotatable from an assembling position in to an operating position.

3. A display instrument according to claim 2 , wherein a pivoting range between the assembling position and the operating position comprises substantially 90 degrees.

4. A display instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the pointer tip is arranged in an area of a recess that is formed between the indicating scale and the cover element.

5. A display instrument according to claim 4 , wherein the pointer tip projects beyond the recess at least section wise.

6. A display instrument according to claim 5 , wherein the pointer tip includes a pointed end and a rounded end.

7. A display instrument according to claim 4 , wherein a longitudinal adjustment of the pointer tip is aligned corresponding to a longitudinal adjustment of the recess when the pointer tip is retained in the assembling position.

8. A display instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the pointer tip is substantially drop-shaped and/or formed rounded.

9. A display instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the pointer tip and the body are joined together in a non-positive locking, positive locking and/or firmly bonded manner.

10. A method for assembling a display instrument according to claim 1 , comprising:

assembling the indicating scale;

attaching the pointer element to the assembled indicating scale;

after attaching the pointer element, pivoting and/or rotating the pointer tip of the pointer element from an operating position in to an assembling position relative to the body of the pointer element;

after pivoting and/or rotating the pointer tip, arranging the cover element over the indicating scale and the pointer element; and

after arranging the cover element, pivoting and/or rotating the pointer tip from the assembling position in to the operating position relative to the body of the pointer element.
