The upper case 3 is provided above the lower case 1, and in the lower case 1, although not shown, an oil supply pipe communicating with an underground oil storage tank is started up, and a fuel supply motor is connected in the middle of the oil supply pipe as a fuel supply mechanism. pump,
A flow meter to which a flow pulse transmitter is connected is provided, and an end of an oil supply pipe is led out of the lower case 1 and an oil supply hose 5 having an oil supply nozzle 4 at an end thereof is connected.

In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a display for displaying refueling data such as a refueling amount.

On the other hand, the upper case 3 has a lower surface formed of a translucent plate of acrylic or the like at the protrusion 3a, and a light 7 such as a fluorescent lamp is disposed inside.

In the refueling machine having such a configuration, the transparent panel 9 is disposed in a space 8 formed by the columns 2 between the lower case 1 and the upper case 3.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the transparent panel 9 has a fluorescent bar 11 sandwiched between two transparent plates 10 and 10 made of glass or acrylic resin, for example. Or transparent T made of acrylic resin
A number of fluorescent rods 11 are provided at the lower end of the protrusion 12a of the letter-shaped connecting member 12.
After the fluorescent bar 11 was hung from the connecting member 12, the upper ends of the two transparent plates 10, 10 were similarly attached to the connecting member 12 with an adhesive. The lower end of the fluorescent rod 11 is formed in an oblique light emitting portion 11a, and a plurality of members having different lengths are arranged so that the lower portion is continuously mountain-shaped in a suspended state, and the oblique light emitting portion 11a is They are arranged so that the cutting planes of the adjacent ones face alternately in the front-back direction.

In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes an E-shaped connecting member which is attached to the side of the two transparent plates 10 and 10 and has a projecting strip 13a at the center, and 14a and 14b denote the transparent plate 1
The figure shows a mounting member for mounting 0, 10 to the column 2, in which a mounting hole 15 is drilled.

To dispose a plurality of fluorescent bars 11 suspended between the transparent plates 10 and 10 as the transparent panel 9 in the space 8 between the upper case 3 and the lower case 1, Element
13 is inserted into the gap between the transparent plates 10 and 10 so as to be applied to the sides of the transparent plates 10 and 10, and the connecting member 13 is used to insert the transparent plate 1
The transparent panel 9 is fixed so as to hold the side portions 0 and 10 from both front and rear sides.

Next, a U-shaped mounting member 14a is mounted inside the support 2 between the upper case 3 and the lower case 1 by inserting a stopper 16 into the mounting hole 15 and the connecting member 13 is opened through the opening of the mounting member 14a. The transparent panel 9 to which is attached is pushed in until it comes into contact with the side surface of the attachment member 14a.

Then, the mounting member 14a is brought into contact with the side surface of the connecting member 13, and the fixing member 16 is inserted and mounted in the mounting hole 15, so that the transparent panel 9 is fixed to the space.

As a result, two transparent plates sandwiching a number of fluorescent rods 11 as transparent panels 9 in the space 8 between the upper case 3 and the lower case 1 between the columns 2 and 2 via the mounting members 14a and 14b. 10 are arranged.
