Abstract: A metallic layer is formed on a resin-made dial plate main body by surface treatment. A front surface of the main body is provided with a circular or arc-shaped second design face around a rotation shaft of a pointer, and a first inwardly inclined face and an outwardly inclined face continued to the second design face so as to rim an inside and an outside of the second design face and gradually extending toward a rear surface as extending away from the second design face. These first inwardly inclined face and outwardly inclined face are provided on a smooth face. Other portions except these first inwardly inclined face and outwardly inclined face are provided on a corrugated face on which a plurality of convexes and concaves are formed and having a surface roughness rougher than the smooth face.

Abstract: A multi-scale indicator which has a main scale and a sub-scale is constructed so as to prevent a misreading between the main scale and the sub-scale. A sub-scale prism and the light source which illuminates only the sub-scale are light insulated from the main scale prism and the light source which illuminates the main scale, due to the sub-scale prism being securely buried within a circular arc shaped prism receiving groove which is formed on the main scale prism. Light opaque paint is spread between the main scale prism and the sub-scale prism to prevent the occurrence of light leakage therebetween. Also provided is an electrical control for supplying a light to the sub-scale prism only when the pointer is moved to a predetermined zone located on the end of the main scale.
