Abstract

The geared motor and pointer display device are provided with a stopper mechanism which restricts the range of movement of the trailing-side gear when the trailing-side gear rotates in a counter-clockwise direction. Of the stopper touching part and the part touched by the stopper that together constitute the stopper mechanism, the stopper touching part comprises the end of a gear-side protrusion which is integrally formed with the middle part at the outer peripheral surface of the middle part of the trailing-side gear. As a consequence, the stopper touching part comes into contact with the part touched by the stopper at a position close to the central axis of rotation of the trailing side gear. Therefore, when the stopper mechanism is activated, the collision energy to which the trailing side cog is subjected is minimal, which makes it possible to suppress the rebound of the trailing side gear.
