Description

本発明は、自動車等のインジケーターパネルの表面に段差、落ち込みのないフラットな光透過パネル表示並びに加飾方法を提供する。   The present invention provides a flat light-transmitting panel display and a decoration method that does not have a step or depression on the surface of an indicator panel of an automobile or the like.

自動車等において、インジケーターパネルにシフトレバーが取付けられ、パネル表面にはシフトレバーの位置を示すＰ．Ｒ．Ｎ．Ｄ．２．Ｌ等の絵文字が設けられる。また、パネルの表面はメッキ調、或いは木目調等の加飾が施される。   In automobiles and the like, a shift lever is attached to the indicator panel, and the position of the shift lever is indicated on the panel surface. R. N. D. 2. Pictograms such as L are provided. In addition, the surface of the panel is decorated with a plating tone or a woodgrain tone.

従来、このようなインジケーターパネルはＡＢＳ樹脂等の硬質樹脂を用いて樹脂成形されるもので、絵文字等の表示部は打抜穴に文字盤を嵌め込んで構成し、このためパネルの表面は、段差や落ち込みが形成されるためフラットなものが得られなかった（特許文献１及び２）。   Conventionally, such an indicator panel is resin-molded using a hard resin such as ABS resin, and a display portion such as a pictogram is configured by fitting a dial into a punched hole. Since steps and depressions are formed, a flat product cannot be obtained (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

この従来のインジケーターパネルを図５について説明する。図５（ａ）はインジケーターパネルの斜視図、図５（ｂ）は文字盤の斜視図である。
図５（ａ）において、５０はＡＢＳ樹脂で成形されたパネル体であり、このパネル体の面に長孔５１を設ける。長孔５１に裏側から長孔５１より大きい文字盤５２を嵌め周辺に接着剤を塗布して一体に貼付ける。文字盤５２にＰ．Ｒ．Ｎ．Ｄ．２．Ｌ等の文字が印刷され、内側から光を当てると光が透過して表面に文字が浮かび上がる。５３はシフトレバー（図示しない）の取付用開口である。 This conventional indicator panel will be described with reference to FIG. 5A is a perspective view of the indicator panel, and FIG. 5B is a perspective view of the dial.
In FIG. 5A, reference numeral 50 denotes a panel body formed of ABS resin, and a long hole 51 is provided on the surface of the panel body. A dial 52 larger than the long hole 51 is fitted into the long hole 51 from the back side, and an adhesive is applied to the periphery of the dial 52 so as to be integrally attached. Dial 52 R. N. D. 2. Letters such as L are printed, and when light is applied from the inside, the light is transmitted and the letters emerge on the surface. Reference numeral 53 denotes an opening for mounting a shift lever (not shown).

しかし、上記した従来のインジケーターパネルでは、Ｐ．Ｒ．Ｎ．Ｄ．２．Ｌ等の絵文字の表示が文字盤を嵌め込んで構成されるため、段差や落ち込みのないフラットなパネルが得られず、このため段差、落ち込み部にリチやホコリが溜り、意匠的外観において体裁が悪いものであった。又パネル板の全表面にメッキ調、木目調等の加飾印刷が施されるが、このような加飾印刷はパネル板表面に直かに施されるため、摩滅して薄くなったり、剥落し而も、製作加工に手間が掛りコスト高になっていた。   However, in the conventional indicator panel described above, P.I. R. N. D. 2. Since the display of pictograms such as L is configured with a dial fitted, a flat panel with no steps or depressions cannot be obtained. Therefore, litch and dust accumulate on the steps and depressions, and the appearance of the design looks good It was bad. In addition, decorative printing such as plating and woodgraining is applied to the entire surface of the panel board, but since such decorative printing is applied directly to the panel board surface, it is worn away and thinned or peeled off. However, it was time-consuming and expensive to manufacture.
