Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radial line dial plate includes a synthetic resin dial plate and a shaft through-hole that is provided to the dial plate such that a rotation shaft of a meter unit penetrates therethrough. The dial plate is provided with a plurality of grooves that extend radially outward from an opening rim of the shaft through-hole to form a radial line pattern provided on the dial plate, and the plurality of grooves are provided radially around a position different from a center axis of the shaft through-hole. Thus, there are provided a radial line dial plate and an automobile meter provided with the radial line dial plate in which the radial line pattern of appearance with comfortable and natural feeling as a metallic-tone dial plate can be stably given.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A radial line dial plate comprising: a dial plate made of synthetic resin; and a shaft through-hole configured to be provided to the dial plate such that a rotation shaft of a meter unit penetrates therethrough, wherein the dial plate is provided with a plurality of grooves that extend radially outward from an opening rim of the shaft through-hole to form a radial line pattern provided on the dial plate, and the plurality of grooves are configured to be provided radially around a position different from a center axis of the shaft through-hole. 2 . A radial line dial plate comprising: a dial plate made of synthetic resin; and a shaft through-hole configured to be provided to the dial plate such that a rotation shaft of a meter unit penetrates therethrough, wherein the dial plate is provided with a plurality of grooves that extend outward from an opening rim of the shaft through-hole to form a radial line pattern provided on the dial plate, and at least several grooves of the plurality of grooves are configured to be provided to intersect with other groove. 3 . A radial line dial plate comprising: a dial plate made of synthetic resin; and a shaft through-hole configured to be provided to the dial plate such that a rotation shaft of a meter unit penetrates therethrough, wherein the dial plate is provided with a plurality of grooves that extend outward from an opening rim of the shaft through-hole to form a radial line pattern provided on the dial plate, and the plurality of grooves are configured to include first grooves that are provided radially around a center axis of the shaft through-hole and second grooves that are provided along a straight line not passing through the center axis. 4 . A radial line dial plate comprising: a dial plate made of synthetic resin; and a shaft through-hole configured to be provided to the dial plate such that a rotation shaft of a meter unit penetrates therethrough, wherein the dial plate is provided with a plurality of grooves that extend outward from an opening rim of the shaft through-hole to form a radial line pattern provided on the dial plate, and the plurality of grooves are configured to include first grooves that are provided radially around a position different from a center axis of the shaft through-hole and second grooves that are provided along a straight line not passing through the center axis. 5 . An automobile meter comprising: the radial line dial plate according to claim 1 . 6 . An automobile meter comprising: the radial line dial plate according to claim 2 . 7 . An automobile meter comprising: the radial line dial plate according to claim 3 . 8 . An automobile meter comprising: the radial line dial plate according to claim 4 .
