  • Patent number: 9136072
    Abstract: In an indicator apparatus, a prism member includes: a prism member side surface; and a transmitting and reflecting surface that is inclined relative to the prism member side surface, and into which light from a light source is admitted. An adjacent member has an adjacent surface that is adjacent to the prism member side surface. The light from the light source is admitted into the transmitting and reflecting surface when the light source is lit, and passes through the prism member. If the prism member is viewed frontally when the light source is not lit, the adjacent surface is visible by optical reflection at the transmitting and reflecting surface.
