The base member 4 includes a base material portion (metal portion) 41 made of a metal disk and an outsert molding (base material portion 41) so as to partially cover a part (a plurality of locations) of the base material portion 42. And a synthetic resin portion 42 formed by injection molding a resin at a necessary portion of the metal material to form a synthetic resin portion.

母材部41は、図3,図4にも示すように、指標板1の透視部11及び表示装置6に対応する貫通部43と、移動部材2と駆動部材5との連結を可能にするために駆動装置5を露出させる露出部44とを有すると共に、外周部が略90度背後側に折り曲げられることにより補強部45が形成されている。なお孔状の貫通部43及び露出部44と折曲部状の補強部45は、プレス成形により形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the base material portion 41 enables connection between the see-through portion 11 of the indicator plate 1 and the penetration portion 43 corresponding to the display device 6, the moving member 2, and the driving member 5. Therefore, the reinforcing portion 45 is formed by having the exposed portion 44 exposing the driving device 5 and bending the outer peripheral portion approximately 90 degrees to the rear side. The hole-shaped through portion 43 and the exposed portion 44 and the bent portion-shaped reinforcing portion 45 are formed by press molding.

合成樹脂部42は、移動部材2を接触支持する支持箇所及び当該支持箇所を支承する支承箇所となるもので、移動部材2と直接接触し、これを支持する支持部42aを形成すると共に、移動部材2と直接接触してこれを支持するための支持部材8a,8bを支承する支承部42bと、支持部42aや支承部42bを繋ぐ連結部42c(図4参照)と形成している。   The synthetic resin portion 42 is a support location for supporting and supporting the moving member 2 and a support location for supporting the support location. The synthetic resin portion 42 is in direct contact with the moving member 2 and forms a support portion 42a for supporting the moving member 2 and moves. A support part 42b for supporting the support members 8a and 8b for directly contacting and supporting the member 2 and a connecting part 42c (see FIG. 4) for connecting the support part 42a and the support part 42b are formed.

すなわち支持部42aは、図5,図7に詳しく示すように、移動部材2の底面に点接触するスラスト方向支持部を構成する。   That is, the support portion 42a constitutes a thrust direction support portion that makes point contact with the bottom surface of the moving member 2, as shown in detail in FIGS.

また連結部42c(図4参照)は、アウトサート成形により支持部42aや支承部42bを形成する際に合成樹脂の通り道となる(なった)箇所であり、このように連結部42cを設定することにより、金型に形成するゲートの数を削減でき、金型自体の構成を簡素化できると共に、成形作業の容易化も達成できるものである。   Further, the connecting portion 42c (see FIG. 4) is a place that becomes a passage for the synthetic resin when the support portion 42a and the support portion 42b are formed by outsert molding. Thus, the connecting portion 42c is set. As a result, the number of gates formed in the mold can be reduced, the structure of the mold itself can be simplified, and the molding operation can be facilitated.

駆動装置5は、例えばステッピングモータからなり、図7に詳しく示すように、回路基板7上に接続固定されている。駆動装置5の駆動軸51は、前方に延びており、回転部材52と、規制手段53とが設けられている。   The drive device 5 is formed of, for example, a stepping motor, and is connected and fixed on the circuit board 7 as shown in detail in FIG.

規制手段53は、回転部材52よりも大きな外径を有する合成樹脂体からなり、回転部材52の前方に配置されて、移動部材2の接触部22に接触して回転し、各ギヤ列21,54の噛み合い深さを規制することで、各ギヤ列21,54の噛み合い深さが深くなり過ぎ、駆動装置5に過大な負荷がかかったり、各ギヤ列21,54がロックすることを防止することができる。   The restricting means 53 is made of a synthetic resin body having an outer diameter larger than that of the rotating member 52, is disposed in front of the rotating member 52, rotates in contact with the contact portion 22 of the moving member 2, and each gear train 21, By restricting the meshing depth of 54, the meshing depth of each gear train 21, 54 is prevented from becoming excessively deep, so that an excessive load is applied to the drive device 5 and the gear trains 21, 54 are locked. be able to.

なお本例では、回転部材52と、規制手段53とを別部品としたが、一体部品としてもよい。   In this example, the rotating member 52 and the regulating means 53 are separate parts, but they may be integrated parts.

表示装置6は、例えば液晶表示装置からなり、指標板1の透視部11に臨むように、回路基板7上に搭載されており、例えば走行距離データや外気温データからなる計測情報やナビゲーション情報等を表示する。   The display device 6 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and is mounted on the circuit board 7 so as to face the see-through portion 11 of the index plate 1. For example, measurement information or navigation information including travel distance data or outside air temperature data, and the like. Is displayed.

このように構成された本実施形態の指針式計器は、駆動装置5の駆動軸51が計測量に応じて回転するよう設定されており、駆動軸51の回転によって回転部材52が回転すると、回転部材52のギヤ列54に噛み合うギヤ列21を有する移動部材2が回転移動し、移動部材2に設けた指針3が、表示装置6が臨む透視部11の外周で指標部12を指示する。   The pointer type instrument of the present embodiment configured as described above is set so that the drive shaft 51 of the drive device 5 rotates according to the measurement amount, and the rotation of the rotation member 52 by the rotation of the drive shaft 51 causes the rotation. The moving member 2 having the gear train 21 meshing with the gear train 54 of the member 52 rotates, and the pointer 3 provided on the moving member 2 indicates the indicator portion 12 on the outer periphery of the fluoroscopic portion 11 facing the display device 6.
