The pointer main body 41 has a so-called wedge shape with a tapered tip, and one end thereof serves as a rotation center. At the same time, the other end functions as an indicator for instructing the scale of the scale plate 31 described above. The pointer cap 42 is provided at one end of the pointer main body 41, that is, at the center of rotation of the dial 3.

The pointer cap 42 includes a top plate 42a, a skirt 42b, a pointer hakama 42c, and a flange 42d. The top plate 42a is configured as a disc-shaped member having a diameter d2 which is larger in diameter than the large hole 32A formed in the scale plate 31, and one end of the pointer main body 41 is joined to the front side thereof. At the center position on the back side of the top plate 42a, a pointer hakama 42c formed as a thin cylindrical member is formed so as to stand upright on the back side.
On the back side of 2a and on one end side (short hand side), a weight member 43 is disposed adjacent to the pointer hakama 42c.

Further, a skirt portion 42b, which is a cylindrical member having a diameter d1 slightly smaller than the large hole 32A, is formed on the back side of the top plate 42a so as to stand upright in the back direction. . The top plate 42a and the skirt portion 42b form a cap portion of the pointer cap 2. The top plate 42a and the skirt portion 42b
Are formed at positions where their center positions coincide with each other,
Thereby, more specifically, the top plate 42 a
The peripheral portion of the top plate 42a, which is given as the difference between the diameter d2 of the skirt portion 42a and the diameter d1 of the skirt portion 42b,
A ring-shaped extension extending radially from b is formed, and this ring-shaped extension forms a flange 42e.

The pointer main body 41, the pointer cap 42, and the weight member 43 are made up of a first rivet portion 41a and a second
Are integrally attached by the rivet portion 41b. In this mounting state, as shown in FIG.
The weight member 43 is fixed by the first rivet part 41.

The pointer 4 having such a configuration is attached as shown in FIG. That is, on the back side of the scale plate 31, the inner unit 21 constituting the instrument unit is disposed, and the pointer shaft 22 protrudes from the inner unit 21. The pointer shaft 22 has a large hole 32A formed in the scale plate 31.
To the position near the As described above, the large hole 32A has a diameter larger than the diameter d1 of the skirt portion 42b of the pointer cap 42 and the top plate 42a, that is, the flange portion 42e.

The pointer 4 is attached to the pointer shaft 22 through the large hole 32A. That is, the pointer 4 is inserted so that the pointer shaft 22 is inserted into the pointer hammer 42 c of the pointer cap 42.
The pointer 4 is attached by pushing. In this mounting state, the skirt portion 42b of the pointer cap 42 is inserted into the large hole 32A, and the bottom surface of the skirt indicated by the reference numeral 42d in FIG. It penetrates and is positioned at the position H1 on the back surface 31a side of the scale plate 31. At the same time, collar 4
2e is positioned at a position close to the front surface 31b of the scale plate 31.

The flange 42e is disposed close to the front surface of the scale plate 31, so that the flange 42e
Cover 2A. As a result, the height at which the pointer 4 is disposed is reduced, and the irradiation light on the optical path indicated by the symbol Lx2 is
A can be prevented from leaking. In the illustrated configuration of the skirt portion 42b, the skirt bottom surface 42d extends to a position H1 on the back side (downward in the figure) of the back surface 31a of the scale plate 31 further than the position H3. The position of the bottom surface 42d may be any position on the back side of the front surface 31b of the scale plate 31. For example,
The position of the skirt bottom surface 42 d is set to the front surface 3 of the scale plate 31.
It may be set at an intermediate position between 1b and the back surface 31a. By setting the skirt bottom surface 42d at such an intermediate position, the irradiation light Lx from the rear side of the scale plate 31 is set.

The arrangement height of the pointer 4 can be reduced by the difference between the pointer arrangement height h1 and the embodiment.

When the arrangement height h2 of the return plate 15 is set to be the same height as the arrangement height h4 of the return plate 15 in the conventional device by reducing the arrangement height of the hands 4, The distance between the hands 4 and the return plate 15 can be increased, and the hands 4 and the scale plate 31 can be illuminated more brightly. When illuminating the pointer 4 and the scale plate 31 with the same brightness as the conventional device, the arrangement height of the return plate 15 is reduced, that is, the gap 15a formed by the two is reduced. The appearance of the internal structure of the device can be reduced. As described above, in this embodiment, the degree of freedom in designing the device can be increased.

In the above-described embodiment, the flange 4
2e has been described as extending from the peripheral portion of the top plate 42a, in other words, the top plate 42a and the flange 42e are integrally formed, but the present invention is not limited to this. Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing another configuration of the pointer 4. In FIG. 4, the same parts as those of the embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. First,
Referring to FIG. In the drawing, reference numeral 42f is a ring member. The ring member 42f is configured as a hollow member formed in a substantially L-shape in cross section, and has a protruding portion that protrudes in the radial direction. The diameter of the hollow portion, that is, the inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 42f is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the cap portion formed by the top plate 42a and the skirt portion 42b, that is, the outer peripheral surface of the skirt portion 42b. The ring-shaped member 42f is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the cap portion, and both are joined by welding or bonding. And when joining both, the ring member 4
2f, the projected portion of the ring member 42f is
It is positioned so as to be located at a substantially intermediate position in the height direction (standing direction) of b.

Since the ring member 42f has a substantially L-shape in cross section, the portion of the ring member 42f that comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the skirt portion 42b acts as a guide member for joining the two. Therefore, by making the ring member 42f L-shaped in cross section, the connection work between the two can be facilitated and the two can be more firmly joined.

Further, as in this configuration, the cap portion including the top plate 42a and the skirt portion 42b and the ring member 4
In the case where 2f and 2f are separately formed and both are joined, the same cap portion as that of the conventional device can be used, and changes from the configuration of the conventional device can be reduced. . Accordingly, there is an advantage that an increase in manufacturing cost due to a design change can be suppressed. The arrangement position of the ring member 42f, more specifically, the arrangement position of the projecting portion of the ring member 42f in the height direction is, in the illustrated configuration, a substantially middle position in the height direction of the skirt portion 42b. However, this arrangement position may be moved in the vertical direction, that is, in the front-back direction of the apparatus, within the range of the height direction of the skirt portion 42b.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4A described above, the cap portion (top plate 42a, skirt portion 42b) and the ring member 42f as the flange portion are formed separately.
As shown in FIG. 4B, it goes without saying that a flange 42g may be formed at an intermediate position in the height direction of the skirt 42b.

As shown in FIG. 4C, the flange 42e in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 is bent on the outer peripheral edge of the flange 42e in the rear direction, that is, in the scale plate 31 direction. A rib 42h may be provided. With this configuration, it is possible to more effectively shield light leaked from the large hole 32A. Then, such a rib is provided by the ring member 42f described with reference to FIG.
A similar effect can be obtained by forming the collar portion 42g described in (b).

[0040]

As described above, according to the pointer type display device of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. That is, in the state where the hands are attached, the skirt part forming the hand cap is inserted into the hole of the scale plate, and furthermore, the gap between the skirt part and the hole is configured to be covered with the flange part, so that the apparent The height of the pointer can be reduced, and the degree of design freedom in the height direction of the pointer can be increased.

Further, since the flange is formed as an extension extending from the top plate, the structure can be simplified and the apparatus can be constructed at low cost.

Further, since the flange portion is formed as a ring member separate from the pointer cap, and this ring member is arranged at an intermediate position in the height direction of the skirt portion, a separate ring member is newly added. Thus, the apparent height of the pointer can be reduced without changing the structure of the cap portion, and the degree of design freedom in the height direction of the pointer can be increased.
