Abstract
An assembly-optimized arrangement of the functional elements of a taximeter is disclosed which comprises a two-part housing which further comprises a front housing component and a rear housing component. The arrangement further comprises a printed circuit board carrying the electronic computer and the data and memory of the taximeter, a liquid crystal display, one of an optical fiber and an optical light guide allocated to the rear side of said liquid crystal display, a glass pane, control keys, a receiving means and an aligning means. The receiving means and the aligning means are designed at the front housing component which enable, during assembly of the taximeter, a loose retention of at least one of the glass pane, the liquid crystal display and the optical fiber at the front of the housing component by one of insertion and mounting. An attachment of functional elements occurs indirectly by fastening the printed circuit board to the front housing component.
