VEHICULAR POINTER-TYPE RESIDUAL QUANTITY METER
First Claim
1. A vehicular pointer-type residual quantity meter comprising:
- a display panel that has a scale part, the scale part allows a driver to recognize a residual quantity, and a non-scale part that differs from the scale part;
a pointer unit that is disposed behind the display panel;
a pointer driver body unit that carries out a movement of the pointer unit in a real space; and
a control unit that controls the pointer driver body unit in so that the pointer unit indicates one of metering regions in the scale part in replay to a current value of the residual quantity, the control part controls the pointer driver body unit so that when the residual quantity decreases to zero, the pointer unit moves from a metering region corresponding to a zero residual quantity in a direction opposite to a metering region corresponding to a residual quantity value greater than zero to the non-scale part of the display panel.

Abstract
A vehicular pointer-type residual quantity meter comprises: a display panel that has a scale part which allows a driver to recognize a residual quantity, and a non-scale part that differs from the scale part; a pointer unit that is disposed behind the display panel; a pointer driver body unit that carries out a movement of the pointer unit in a real space; and a control unit that controls the pointer driver body unit in so that the pointer unit indicates one of metering regions in the scale part in replay to a current residual quantity. The control part controls the pointer driver body unit so that when the residual quantity decreases to zero, the pointer unit moves from a metering region corresponding to a zero residual quantity in a direction opposite to a metering region corresponding to a residual quantity value greater than zero to the non-scale part of the display panel.
