Abstract
An electric wire for connecting a rotating base plate 18 and a main substrate 10 is composed of an FPC 13. The FPC is connected to the main substrate 10 in a manner that a width direction of the FPC 13 is perpendicular to the main substrate 10. A protecting member 14 is provided on the main substrate 10 for surrounding a moving range of the FPC 13 on the main substrate 10 associated with a rotation of a meter pointer 12.
Claims3
A meter pointer device comprising:
- a meter pointer having a light guiding pointer main body, a light source to emit light to the pointer main body for illuminating the pointer main body, and a base plate on which the light source is mounted;
- a motor for rotating the meter pointer;
- a main substrate disposed on a rear wall of the meter pointer and on which the motor is mounted;
- an electric wire for connecting the base plate with the main substrate, the electric wire being composed of a flat circuit body, and one end of the flat circuit body being connected to the main substrate via a first connection portion in a manner that a width direction of the flat circuit body is perpendicular to the main substrate;
- and
- a circular protecting member having an opening and disposed on the main substrate for surrounding a moving range on the flat circuit body on the main substrate due to a rotation of the meter pointer.
