Device for displaying a plurality of detectable variable quantities
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A display device configured to display a plurality of detectable variable quantities of a motor vehicle that are in a ratio to one another, the display comprising:
- a first band configured to display a first value of a first variable, the first band having a variable length; and
a second band configured to display a second value of a second variable, the second band having a variable length,the first and second bands arranged relative to one another to intersect in an intersection area to form a variable geometric figure,wherein the lengths of the first and second bands are based at least in part on a deviation from an optimum ratio of the first value of the first variable to the second value of the second variable andthe variable quantities are selected from the group consisting of instantaneous driving speed, instantaneous engine speed, instantaneous speed of a transmission, and instantaneous fuel consumption.

Abstract
A device for displaying a plurality of detectable variable quantities of a motor vehicle that are in a ratio to one another, each quantity represented by a band, and the bands being arranged relative to one another such that they form a variable geometric figure. The bands have a variable length depending on the deviation from an optimum ratio of the quantities to one another, and intersect in an intersection area.
