Abstract

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.

Claims (24)

1. A device comprising:

an automobile meter comprising a radial line dial plate, the radial line dial plate comprising:

a dial plate made of synthetic resin; and

a shaft through-hole provided in the dial plate and configured to receive a rotation shaft of a meter unit 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. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of grooves are linear.

3. A device comprising:

an automobile meter comprising a radial line dial plate, the radial line dial plate comprising:

a dial plate made of synthetic resin; and

a shaft through-hole provided in the dial plate and configured to receive a rotation shaft of a meter unit 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 grooves.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of grooves are linear.

5. A device comprising:

an automobile meter comprising a radial line dial plate, the radial line dial plate comprising:

a dial plate made of synthetic resin; and

a shaft through-hole provided in the dial plate and configured to receive a rotation shaft of a meter unit 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.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of grooves are linear.

7. A device comprising:

an automobile meter comprising a radial line dial plate, the radial line dial plate comprising:

a dial plate made of synthetic resin; and

a shaft through-hole provided in the dial plate and configured to receive a rotation shaft of a meter unit 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.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of grooves are linear.
