Title: Measuring meter pointer assembly

Abstract: Improved dial pointers and mounts therefor to facilitate the method involving a press-fitted clutching and frictional assembly with non-slip permanent engagement there between for use with calibrated measuring meters as an adjunct to torque measuring wrenches and other measuring devices. This is preferably, though not essentially, accomplished with slitted dial pointer bodies in the region of and contiguous with the mounting hole therein for the yieldable reception of tapered hub body mounts that are peripherally grooved for press-fitted clutching and frictional engagement there between to effect their permanently fixed assembly, and in turn slightly tapering the axial hole of the mounts for press-fitted connection with the driven meter pins to more readily and less expensively assemble these components of relatively small calibrated measuring meters.
