The braking spring urges the gear in a direction of an axis of rotation of the gear.

The braking spring has a shape through which the first part of the rotation shaft passes.

A first face of the gear body is formed with a recessed portion which accommodates the braking spring.

A meter unit includes a step motor, a gear, a braking spring and a case.

The case accommodates the step motor, the gear body, a part of the rotation shaft, and the braking spring therein.

A braking spring energizing the pair of brake arms in a mutually separating direction is installed in the brake side housing between the pair of brake arms.

By means of a second spring force (FAF) of an equalisation spring (AF) tensioned by the lift (H, H1, H2) of the lifting unit (5), the first spring force (FBF) of the at least one brake spring (BF) is reduced.

A second part of the case is configured to press the braking spring so that entire part of the braking spring is accommodated in the recessed portion.

Furthermore, the holder (11) is provided with a braking spring (17) which is intended to abut against the periphery of the reel and damp the rotation of the reel.
