Abstract: Provided is a vehicle display device which exhibits high visibility, and which has an attractive external appearance. A vehicle display device according to the present invention is provided with: pointer-type instruments (a speedometer and an engine tachometer; a display disposed next to the pointer-type instruments; and a planar protective plate which has, formed on the front surface thereof, a first reflected-light suppression layer. The protective plate is disposed so as to cover the front surfaces of the display and the pointer-type instruments. Furthermore, in the protective plate, light-blocking layers for concealing spaces between the display and the pointer-type instruments are formed. Moreover, a light-transmitting bonding layer, which covers and bonds a display surface of the display, and second reflected-light suppression layers, which cover the front surfaces of the pointer-type instruments, are formed on the rear surface of the protective plate so as to not overlie each other.

Abstract: An instrument lighting device configured in such a manner that even index marks disposed away from the light sources can achieve sufficient luminance using a reduced number of light sources. An instrument lighting device comprising: a pointer needle (4) mounted to a drive shaft (2) of an instrument body (3); a display panel (6) having index marks (5); a light source (7b) for lighting the index marks (5); a reflecting surface section (9) for applying the light from the light source (7b) to the display panel (6); and a reflecting wall section (10) for guiding the light from the light source (7b) toward the reflecting surface section (9).

Abstract: Provided is a vehicular meter, which can suppress the complication of structures of peripheral parts, when an operation shaft and an elastic member are to be supported, thereby to realize the cost reduction. The vehicular meter comprises: an indication element D3; a circuit board 5 arranged on the back of the indication element D3; and a manipulation mechanism S for switching pieces of information to be indicated by the indication element D3. The manipulation mechanism S includes: a switch element 11; an operation shaft 12 for activating the switch element 11; and an elastic member 13 for returning the operation shaft 12. This operation shaft 12 includes a push portion 161 for actuating the switch element 11; hook portions 171 and 172 inserted into a through hole 52 of the circuit board 5 to come into engagement with the back face of the circuit board 5; a flange portion 16 opposed to the circuit board 5.

Abstract: A colored, anodized aluminum-base article including an aluminum-base substrate, and first and second anodized aluminum oxide films overlaid thereon. The inner, second film has a hardness of about 330 Hv or more, while the outer, first film is more porous than the second film and has a hardness of about 270 Hv or less. The first film is colored with a coloring agent. The article is prepared by anodizing an aluminum-base substrate in an electrolyte bath at a temperature of 20.degree.-40.degree. C. and, subsequently at a temperature not higher than 10.degree. C., the resultant substrate having two types of anodic aluminum oxide films formed thereon being subjected to a coloring treatment.

Abstract: The disclosed speed-shift apparatus is for a sheet winch with a drum rotatably mounted on a base and can effect the shift of the speed-change ratio and the winch winding by one hand. A one-way transmission means having pawls and pawl-engaging grooves is provided between an input shaft and the winch drum. An interrupting member is rotatably carried by the base so as to selectively disengage said pawls from said pawl-engaging grooves and the interrupting means also has grooves for engaging said pawls.
