。21) is formed, and the dial 10 is attached to the opening 2a. The dial 10 uses a liquid crystal (a color liquid crystal may be used), and is connected to a control device (not shown) housed in the instrument panel 3 through a conductor 11, and is connected to an information changeover switch attached to the handle H. (not shown),
The dial plate has a structure on which various characters are displayed.
又、ランプ9の光は、像投影用小レンズ8.文字板10
.開口2a、2b7介して前輪FWの直前の路面に投射
される様になされている(以上、第1図、第3図参照)
。The light from the lamp 9 is transmitted through a small image projection lens 8. Dial board 10
.. The light is projected onto the road surface in front of the front wheel FW through the openings 2a and 2b7 (see Figures 1 and 3 above).
.
なお1文字板10に表示される情報は、例えば車速(第
4図参照一単位km ) m燃料残量(第5図参照:単
位係)等車輌状態を示す情報、或いは時刻(第6図参照
)、気温(第7図参照二単位℃)等である。The information displayed on the dial 10 may be information indicating the vehicle status, such as vehicle speed (see Figure 4, unit km), m fuel remaining amount (see Figure 5, unit), or time (see Figure 6). ), temperature (in 2 units °C, see Figure 7), etc.
本実施例は、前記の様に構成されており、夜間走行時、
ランプ9を点灯すると、その光は、像投影用小レンズ8
および文字板10ヲ介して路面に投射される。なお、こ
の投射光(B3 )は、1−れ違いビームB2よりも遥
かに大きな角度で路面に投射されるので、すれ違いビー
ムB2と重なることは無い。This embodiment is configured as described above, and when driving at night,
When the lamp 9 is turned on, the light passes through the small image projection lens 8
and is projected onto the road surface via the dial 10. Note that this projected light (B3) is projected onto the road surface at a much larger angle than the 1-passing beam B2, so it does not overlap with the passing beam B2.
而して、ノンドルHに付された情報切換えスイッチの操
作により文字板10に、前記いずれかの情報を表示させ

ても良い。In the above embodiment, the image projection small lens 8 is formed integrally with the headlight lens 6, but it may be formed as a separate lens and attached to the lower wall portion 7 of the headlight lens 6. Alternatively, instead of providing the image projection lens on the lower wall portion 7, two lenses may be attached to the openings 2a and 2b to form a character image on the road surface. Also, dial 1
Instead of 0, a plate with a character image (for example, vehicle owner name, vehicle manufacturer name, etc.) simply punched out may be attached to the opening 2a. Or, without using a separate dial,
The character image may be formed by punching directly onto the cover of the headlamp device.
更に、開口2a又は2b部にソレノイド等によって開閉
