Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a display body provided with a display object such as a scale.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Of the objects that display characters, figures, symbols, etc., that are used in the dark at night, etc., some kind of lighting means is required to make the objects easier to see. For example, a measuring instrument such as a tire gauge may be used outdoors at night. In the past, in the case of this type of measuring instrument, it is common to use a flashlight to illuminate, a graduated display panel to illuminate with a miniature bulb or LED, or the graduation itself to be constructed with luminescent paint. Target.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above prior art has the following problems. <A> When using a miniature bulb or LED, the brightness is excellent, but the cost is high and a failure is likely to occur.

<B> As shown in FIG. 3, when the scale a itself is made of a luminescent paint, there are the following problems. Since the amount of the luminescent paint is small and the illuminance of the luminescence b is weak, it is difficult to see the scale a. Particularly when the scale a is fine, as shown in FIG. 3, the light emission b of the adjacent scales a is connected to each other, which makes reading difficult. Since the scale a is formed by adhering the light-emitting paint in a thin line shape, it is easily peeled off and has poor durability. In addition, since precision processing is required, it takes time and effort to process. It is difficult to tell where the needle is pointing only by forming the scale a with luminescent paint. Therefore, it is necessary to attach the luminescent paint to the needle as well, which requires labor and cost. . In addition, the light-emitting paint on the needle is also easy to peel off, which may make it unattractive and difficult to use.

[0005]

[Purpose of the invention]

 The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and provides a display body which can reduce the cost and improve the durability, and can make the display object easy to see even in the dark. The purpose is to

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention relates to a display body provided with a display object such as a scale, wherein the display object is non-luminous, and a light-emitting material is provided on the whole or a part of the display surface of the display object. There is provided a display body characterized by being attached with. The present invention also provides a display body in which the display object is also attached with a light emitting material, and further a display body using a phosphorescent ink containing a fluorescent pigment in the light emitting material.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the tire gage display plate will be described as an example, but the present invention is applicable to any display object such as characters, figures and symbols.

<B> Display Plate The tire gauge is an instrument for measuring the air pressure of the tire, and there are some which can increase or decrease the pressure together with the measurement of the air pressure. The display plate 1 is a metal disk or the like, and is attached to the air pressure measuring portion of the tire gauge.

A protruding hole 11 for a pointer is formed in the center of the display plate 1 and the like, and a pinion shaft is penetrated from the air pressure measuring portion through the protruding hole 11, and an unillustrated pointer is attached to the exposed part of the shaft. To be done.

<B> Luminescent Material The luminescent material 2 is attached to the entire display surface of the display plate 1. Further, it is attached at least partially around the scale 3. The light emitting material 2 is attached by a method such as printing or coating.

As an example of a material used for the light emitting material 2, a phosphorescent ink containing a fluorescent pigment, a light emitting coating material, or the like is considered. As the fluorescent pigment, a pigment capable of absorbing visible or non-visible electromagnetic radiation and immediately releasing it as energy having a predetermined wavelength, such as zinc sulfide or cadmium sulfide, is used.

<D> Scale The scale 3 is attached to the display plate 1 according to a predetermined measurement purpose. The scale 3 may be displayed by a normal non-luminous material depending on the printing or coating method, or the scale 3 itself may be displayed by the light emitting material 2.

[0013]

[Action]

 The light emitting material 2 absorbs sunlight or light of a fluorescent lamp and emits light by emitting the light. Therefore, when not in use, it should be placed in a bright place indoors or in a place exposed to sunlight outdoors.

As a result, when used outdoors at night or in dark places even during the day, a large amount of light is emitted from the light emitting material 2 attached in a planar manner, so that the entire display plate 1 or the vicinity of the scale 3 is It can be brightened as when using a miniature bulb or LED.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, even with the scale 3 made of a non-luminous material, it is possible to clearly identify each fine scale.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is as described above, the following effects can be obtained. <B> Since the light emitting material is used, the cost is lower than when using a miniature bulb or LED. Further, in the case of the embodiment in which the light emitting material is simply attached to the surface in the present invention, the processing is simpler and the cost is lower than the conventional case where only fine scales are formed by the light emitting material.

<B> There is no malfunction such as miniature light bulbs and LEDs, and since the light emitting material does not peel off and become difficult to see as in the case where only the scale is formed with the light emitting material, it has excellent durability. There is.

<C> Since the luminescent material is adhered in a planar manner, it emits a large amount of light, and the display surface can be brightened as when illuminated with a miniature bulb or LED, and the scale can be seen clearly. Therefore, it is particularly effective for a measuring instrument with a fine scale.

<D> Since the display objects other than the needle and the scale can be seen clearly, there is no need to attach the light emitting material to the needle, the labor and cost of processing can be reduced, and the light emitting material of the needle can be peeled off. It doesn't look bad.
