Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the use efficiency of light from the light source is low, and there is a limit to improving the luminance of the hands.
In addition, when the light introduction part is moved in front of each light source as a point light source, it is difficult to maintain a constant amount of light received by the light introduction part, and uneven illumination is likely to occur.

Abstract

A pointer lighting device which can improve a light introduction efficiency to an indicating unit, and is bright and small in lighting non-uniformity, and which comprises a pointer (7) having a translucent indicating member (indicating unit) (72) and a light introducing member (light introduction unit) (73), and being operated around and by the drive shaft (1) of a drive device (2), and a light source (L) disposed around the drive shaft (1), for allowing the indicating member (72) to emit light via the light introducing member (73), wherein the light introducing member (73) has a light receiving surface (73a) for receiving a light from the light source (L), a first reflection surface (73b) for condensing a light introduced from the light receiving surface (73a) toward the rotation axis (Va) position of the drive shaft (1), a second reflection surface (73c) formed between this first reflection surface (73b) and the rotation axis, for reflecting a light from the first reflection surface (73b) in a direction along the rotation axis (Va), and a third reflection surface (73d) formed on the rotation axis (Va) so as to face the second reflection surface (73c), for reflecting a light from the second reflection surface (73c) in the longitudinal direction of the indicating member (72).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pointer illuminating device which is used in a pointer instrument such as a vehicle, and which illuminates a pointer moved by a drive shaft of a predetermined driving device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as such a pointer lighting device, for example, a type described in JP-A-8-043145 is known. The pointer lighting device described in this document includes a pointer made of a light-transmitting material that moves around an axis together with a drive shaft; a plurality of light sources that make the pointer emit light, and a light introduction portion that introduces light from the light source is formed on the pointer, In addition, the light source is arranged in a circular shape centering on the drive shaft on the moving track of the light introducing part. In addition, the light introducing part moves sequentially on each light source arranged in a circle, thereby introducing the light of the lig...
