No. 86669). Specifically, the pointer 1 includes a pointer main body 1a and a cap 1b attached to a base of the pointer main body 1a. The cap 1b is supported by its cylindrical boss 1c by press-fitting to the tip 2a of the pointer shaft 2.

成されている。By the way, in the above-mentioned indicating instrument, the tip end surface 2b of the pointer shaft 2 is shown in FIGS.
It has a substantially planar shape as shown by. Further, in order to facilitate press-fitting the cylindrical boss 1c of the cap 1b into the distal end portion 2a of the pointer shaft 2, the cylindrical boss 1c has a lower inner peripheral surface 1c.
At d, as shown in FIG. 6A, the cross section is formed in a tapered shape.

When the cylindrical boss 1c of the pointer 1 is press-fitted into the tip 2a of the pointer shaft 2 in a state where the instruction is given, the axis of the pointer shaft 2 is adjusted as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). If it is displaced from the axis of the cylindrical boss 1c, the distal end surface 2b of the pointer shaft 2 hits the lower portion 1d of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical boss 1c at its outer peripheral edge.

差が大きく発生するという不具合がある。At this time, the lower part 1d of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical boss 1c
If there are irregularities such as scratches and wrinkles, the tip end surface 2b of the pointer shaft 2
At the outer peripheral edge, a rotational force is applied to the pointer shaft 2 at the irregularities. Here, since the outer peripheral edge of the distal end surface 2b of the pointer shaft 2 is considerably apart from the axis of the pointer shaft 2, the above-mentioned torque becomes a large value. Therefore, the needle shaft 2 is pressed into the cylindrical boss 1c while largely rotating. As a result, there is a problem that a large pointing error occurs in the pointer 1 when the cylindrical boss 1c is pressed into the pointer shaft 2.

びその組み付け方法を提供することを目的とする。This is because the lower portion 1d of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical boss 1c of the cap 1b has a large tapered shape as shown in FIG. 8, and the tip of the pointer shaft 2 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the same applies to the case of forming a conical shape. Therefore, in order to cope with the above, the present invention devises a press-fitting shape between a cylindrical boss constituting a turning base of a pointer and a tip end of a pointer shaft with respect to the cylindrical boss, and adjusts the boss of the pointer against the boss. It is an object of the present invention to provide an indicator and a method for assembling the indicator, which suppresses the occurrence of an indication error at the time of press-fitting a tip portion of a pointer shaft.

The radius of curvature R of 1a is about 0.15 mm, and the apex angle θ of the tip 51a of the pointer shaft 50 (see FIG. 4) is 30 degrees. In the present embodiment configured as described above, in the process of press-fitting the cylindrical boss 82 of the cap 80b into the pointer shaft 50, the axis of the pointer shaft 50 is adjusted as shown in FIGS. The vertex angle θ of the distal end 51a of the pointer shaft 50 is 30 degrees even if the position is shifted in the radial direction from the axis of the cylindrical boss 82b of 80b.

As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the cylindrical boss 82 of the cap 80b hits the axially intermediate portion 82b of the inner peripheral wall. In this case, the pointer shaft 50 is located at a position closer to the axial center than in the conventional case, and the axially intermediate portion 82 of the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical boss 82.
hit b. Therefore, for example, since irregularities such as scratches and wrinkles are formed in the axially intermediate portion 82b of the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical boss 82, during the process of press-fitting the cylindrical boss 82 into the pointer shaft 50, Even if a rotational force acts due to the unevenness, the rotational force is significantly smaller than in the conventional case.

The pointing error of the pointer 80, which tends to occur when press-fitting the pointer shaft 50 into the pointer shaft 50, can be suppressed to a minimum. In implementing the present invention, in the above embodiment, the tip 51 of the pointer shaft 50 is used.
The example in which the apex angle θ of a is set to 30 degrees has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Regardless of the positional displacement between the cylindrical boss 82 and the axial center, the pointer shaft 50 is set so that the distal end 51a of the pointer shaft 50 hits the axially intermediate portion 82b of the cylindrical boss 82 in the inner peripheral wall direction. If the apex angle θ of the tip 51a of the shaft 50 is smaller than twice the angle α (see FIG. 3) of the axially intermediate portion 82b of the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical boss 82 with the axis within an acute angle range. Good. Specifically, the angle θ may be equal to or less than 30 degrees in consideration of the specifications of the pointer shaft 50 and the cylindrical boss 82.

The tip 51a of the pointer shaft 50 contacts the inner peripheral wall intermediate portion 82b of the cylindrical boss 82. For this reason,
The radial displacement between the tip 51a of the pointer shaft 50 and the axially intermediate portion 82b of the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical boss 82 is smaller than in the conventional case. That is, the pointer shaft 50 contacts the axially intermediate portion 82b of the cylindrical boss 82 in the inner peripheral wall at a position closer to the axis than in the conventional case.

Therefore, the same operation and effect as the above embodiment can be achieved. In implementing the present invention, the radius of curvature R of the tip 51a of the pointer shaft 50 is not limited to 0.15 mm, and may be changed as appropriate.
