POINTER TYPE RESIDUAL AMOUNT INSTRUMENT FOR VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pointer type residual amount instrument for vehicle capable of easily recognizing that a remaining amount is zero (empty).SOLUTION: A pointer type residual amount instrument for vehicle comprises: a display plate 4 having graduation parts d0, ..., d14 for letting a driver recognize a remaining amount and a non-graduation part different from the graduation parts; a pointer part arranged behind the display plate 4; a pointer driving body part for moving the pointer part in an actual space; and a control part which controls the pointer driving body part so that the pointer part indicates a metering region of a graduation part according to the remaining amount. The control part controls the pointer driving body part so that when the remaining amount decreases to zero, the pointer part moves from a metering region d0 corresponding to zero f0 to the non-gradation part toward the opposite side from a side d1 of a metering region corresponding to a value larger than zero.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】残量がゼロ（空）であることを容易に認識可能な車両用指針式残量計器を提供する。【解決手段】車両用指針式残量計器は、残量を運転者に認識させるための目盛り部ｄ０、・・・、ｄ１４と目盛り部と異なる非目盛り部とを有する表示板４と、表示板４の背後に配置される指針部と、実空間内での指針部の移動を実施するための指針駆動本体部と、残量に応じて指針部が目盛り部の計量領域を示すように、指針駆動本体部を制御する制御部と、を備えている。残量がゼロまで減った時に、ゼロｆ０に対応する計量領域ｄ０からゼロよりも大きい値に対応する計量領域の側ｄ１と反対側に向かって、指針部が非目盛り部まで移動するように、制御部は、指針駆動本体部を制御する。【選択図】図１
