First Claim
Patent Images
1. An automotive gauge assembly engagable to an automotive vehicle interior, the assembly comprising:
- a) a bracket;
b) at least one gauge receiving aperture formed in the bracket;
c) the aperture defining a plurality of displaceable segments and recesses extending therebetween;
d) the segments being displaceable in response to insertion of the gauge into the aperture for friction-fit engagement of the gauge to the bracket; and
e) a gauge disposed in each gauge receiving aperture, each gauge having a gauge diameter and each recesses defining an aperture inner diameter, the aperture inner diameter being less than the gauge diameter.

Abstract
An automotive gauge mounting bracket is provided that is engagable to an automotive vehicle interior. The bracket comprises at least one gauge receiving aperture formed in the bracket. The aperture is provided with a perimeter defining a plurality of displaceable gauge receiving segments. The segments are displaceable in response to insertion of a gauge into the aperture, for friction fit engagement of the gauge directly to the bracket.
