  • Patent number: 9245397
    Abstract: An instrument gauge includes a gauge face. A rotary portion is located on the gauge face. The rotary portion includes a rotary indicating element that is configured to rotate between a first rotary position and a second rotary position to indicate a first range of values of a vehicle parameter. A digital portion is located on the gauge face and includes a digital indicating element that is configured to move between a first digital position and a second digital position to indicate a second range of values of the vehicle parameter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2016

  • Patent number: 8678602
    Abstract: An instrument panel assembly for a vehicle includes a main gauge that defines a main display area and a plurality of cantilevered light guides that are supported on the main gauge and extend outwardly from the main gauge. Each of the light guides are formed from a clear material providing visibility through each of the light guides. A corresponding plurality of lights selectively illuminates each of the plurality of cantilevered light guides. An etched surface is formed on the surface of each of the cantilevered light guides in the shape of a numeral or symbol. The illumination of the etched area on the clear cantilevered light guide creates the appearance that the symbols or numerals are floating proximate the main gauge and thereby generate desired aesthetic features while communicating information to a vehicle operator.
