Problems solved by technology

Since the above-mentioned various switches are provided as electric switches on the substrate of the meter, it is easy to arrange the switches in the display surface of the meter unit for electric switches, but when such switches are arranged in the display surface of the meter unit , the text panel forming the display surface is assimilated with the switch, which may reduce the driver's visual recognition
However, in the existing auxiliary cover shown in Patent Document 1, it is only limited to the change of the shape of the instrument, and the usability of the instrument unit in the area of ​​the display surface is not considered.

Abstract

A meter unit (38) is arranged in an opening for meters disposed in a handlebar cover (16) of a motorcycle. A lens joined to the upper part of an upper case of meter cases covers the top face of a dial plate. The upper case includes opaque parts (103,104) bulging out toward the lens, and switch manipulating elements (100,101) are fitted to the opaque parts (103,104). The dial plate is common to multiple instruments, and the display region of the multiple instruments is partitioned by the opaque parts. The switch manipulating elements (100,101) are intended for manipulating switches on a board positioned lower than the dial plate. The rear flanks of the switch manipulating elements are covered by reverse parts of the opaque parts.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a meter unit of a motorcycle, and more particularly to a meter unit of a motorcycle capable of giving a new appearance shape. Background technique [0002] In conventional saddled vehicles such as motorcycles, for example, as in Patent Document 1, there is known a saddled type in which an auxiliary cover is provided to cover the outer peripheral portion of the meter unit and the opening peripheral portion of the handlebar cover on which the meter unit is attached. vehicle. In this prior art, when the shape of the meter unit is changed to obtain a new appearance, only the auxiliary cover can be changed to cope with the shape change of the meter unit, and the handlebar cover does not need to be changed. Therefore, it is easy to cope with the shape change of the meter unit. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-96106. [0004] Generally, in a meter unit having a digital display on th...
