Patent number: 10260917Abstract: A structure of a scale graduation includes: a meter dial plate, a light-guiding body made of a translucent material in a dark color, a three-dimensional graduation disposed in a protruding manner on a front surface of the light-guiding body and made of a translucent material in the dark color disposed on the front side of the meter dial plate, and a light source that makes light enter the three-dimensional graduation through the light-guiding body. When the light source emits outgoing light, the three-dimensional graduation lights on in a light color different from the dark color.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Akihiro Otani, Kouhei Takeshita

Patent number: 9829371Abstract: An instrument device includes multiple projected scales projected toward a viewing position side in an axial line direction of a rotation center axis of an indicating needle and arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction, a display board including an insertion portion by which each of the projected scales is projected, an annular portion which covers an outer radial direction portion from the viewing position side in each projected end surface arranged on the viewing position side in each of the projected scales, and a lighting device for emitting light to the projected scales. The projected scale includes a scale visible surface in an inner radial direction than the annular portion in the projected end surface. The annular portion includes grooves provided to each of the projected scales.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Akihiro Otani, Kouhei Takeshita

Patent number: 9664541Abstract: A vehicle instrument includes: a three-dimensional object which is formed of a light transmitting material and is formed so as to protrude from a surface displaying a measurement value involved with a vehicle; and a light source which emits light to the three-dimensional object, wherein the three-dimensional object includes a portion having a different protrusion amount from a light incident surface to which light emitted from the light source is incident, and the light incident surface of the portion having a relatively small protrusion amount from the light incident surface is provided with a high-diffusion portion having a relatively large diffusion degree for the incident light compared with the light incident surface of the portion having a relatively large protrusion amount from the light incident surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Akihiro Otani, Kouhei Takeshita

Patent number: 9434254Abstract: A display device includes a facing plate that covers around a first display unit, a second display unit that is disposed on a position corresponding to an opening on the facing plate at a reverse side of the facing plate, and a panel that closes the opening on the facing plate. The panel is set such that a surface position of a peripheral edge of the panel is flush with a surface position of a peripheral edge of the opening, and a smoke material that reduces transparency is used for the panel.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Akihiro Otani, Kouhei Takeshita
