Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle instrument device which can improve both designability and vision recognition performance. According to the vehicle instrument device (10), bulbs (58, 60) can be disposed in an accommodation space (52) between an instrument box (20) and a character disc (24). The light (84, 86) from the bulbs (58, 60) performs diffuse reflection in the accommodation space (52). The transmittance light (84a, 86a and 86b) after the diffuse reflection passes through multiple transmittance parts (74, 76) included in the character disc (24). A frame part (26) covering the surface (24a) of the character disc (24) has opposite end portions (78a, 78b) opposite to the surface (24a). Reflection parts (82a, 82b) reflect the transmittance light (84a, 86a and 86b) in the first pointer (40) and the second pointer (50) are formed in the opposite end portions (78a, 78b).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a meter device for a vehicle, which arranges a light source in a storage space formed by a meter case and a dial, and guides the light from the light source to a pointer indicating the scale of the dial. Background technique [0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a vehicle meter device in which a light source is arranged in a storage space formed by a meter box and a dial, and the light from the light source is reflected by a reflective surface formed on a wall surface of the meter box. Reflect, and guide it to the pointer that indicates the scale of the dial, thereby improving the visibility of the pointer. [0003] prior art literature [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-79114 [0005] In the vehicle meter device of Patent Document 1, a part of the meter box is formed as a reflective surface, so that a meter device with high visibility can be realized at low cost.
