Abstract
A cross-coil type indicating instrument includes a dial plate, a bobbin disposed behind the dial plate, a pair of coils wound around the bobbin to cross each other, a plurality of terminals, a circuit board supported at a rear portion of the dial plate, an indicator shaft, an indicator carried by the indicator shaft, and a permanent magnet disposed in the bobbin coaxially with the indicator shaft. The bobbin has a plurality of terminal holders at the outer periphery thereof. Each terminal has a base portion fixed to the terminal holder, an elongation extending from the base portion toward connection terminals of the coils, and a pressure-contact portion extending from the base portion toward the circuit board to pressure-contact the circuit board from behind by its resilience.
