Abstract: The invention is directed to an electronic multidigit display device illuminatable by means of light sources intended for a taximeter for indication of a trip price, of a possibly occurring surcharge as well as for superposition of stored data. The display device (3) is composed of a transflecting liquid crystal display (37) (LCD), a frame (38) as a common receptacle of the liquid crystal display (37) and a light conducting plate (43) and contact elements (39) for electrically connecting the liquid crystal display (37) with actuation lines (40) on a printed circuit board (2) and a hood (42) surrounding the frame (38) and provided with detent elements (41). By means of the hood (42) the complete display device (3) can be plugged into the printed circuit board and detented with same in a correct position with simultaneous completion of all line connections. The display device (3) is designed as a component intended specifically for the printed circuit board and for application in a taximeter device.

Abstract: A taximeter assembly including an electronic calculating module with data memory, an operating keyboard, as well as a data indicating device, consists of two flat housing panels which are joined by detent devices and which are secured together by a lead-sealable screw connection. An electronic taximeter circuit wired on a single printed circuit board is installed between the housing panels and feed-in of all electrical transmitter lines and supply lines is effected, as desired, from the rear or from below, wherein the latter are guided directly to connectors on the printed circuit board. The rear wall of the rear housing panel is constructed, at the same time, as a mounting plate for installation in a vehicle. A compact, extremely flat taximeter device having its circuitry in a single printed circuit board system enables arrangement of the device in an optimal installation position within or on the outside of the dashboard of a vehicle.

Abstract: A taximeter housing is securable to a vehicle part in such a manner that only two seals are required to prevent unauthorized tampering with the input connections, the interior components of the taximeter and the taximeter mount, and that only a single seal need be broken when it is necessary to gain access to the interior components to readjust the taximeter for a tariff change.
