SOLUTION: A display which indicates a place of a fuel supply port when gasoline is supplied into an automobile at a gas station is provided in a main body 1 of a display plate of measuring instrument. A display 5 which indicates the right side of the fuel supply port by characters which makes it easy to see a position of the fuel supply port and a display 10 which indicates the right side of the fuel supply port by a mark are provided at a place where they can be seen easily and quickly in the main body 1 of the display plate of meter and measuring instrument. Moreover, a display 4 which indicates the right side of the fuel supply port by symbol and the display 5 which indicates the right side of the fuel supply port by characters are provided in a fuel meter needle type meter 2. Consequently, it is possible for a driver to see the fuel supply port simultaneously when he sees the main body 1 of the display plate of measuring instrument and meter while he drives an automobile.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a meter and a display panel for an automobile for confirming a position of a fuel supply port of the automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been a lever with a mark for opening a fuel supply port, but it has not been known which position the fuel supply port is located.

[0003]

If the position of the fuel supply port is not known, when the vehicle enters the stand for refueling, extra driving must be performed, such as changing the stop position of the car. In some cases, this caused a contact accident. Furthermore, it resulted in driving while being troubled, which caused an accident and was very dangerous. The present invention has been made to solve these disadvantages.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a display indicating the location of a fuel supply port is provided in a meter or instrument panel of an automobile.

[0005] The invention is characterized in that a display indicating the location of the fuel supply port is provided in a fuel gauge in a meter or instrument panel of an automobile.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In using the present invention, the position of a fuel supply port is indicated only by looking at a meter or an instrument display while driving an automobile. Therefore, the position of the fuel supply port can be immediately known.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. An indicator for indicating the location of a fuel supply port when refueling a car at a gas station is provided in a meter and instrument display panel main body (1) that is easily visible even while driving the car ergonomically. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the meter and the instrument display panel main body (1)
A display (5) indicating the right side of the fuel supply port by characters of the fuel supply port and a display (10) indicating the right side by the mark of the fuel supply port are provided in places that are easily visible and easily visible. . Further, in FIG. 1 (b), a display (4) indicating the right side by the symbol of the fuel supply port and a display (5) indicating the right side by the character of the fuel supply port are provided in the fuel gauge pointer type meter (2). ing. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the fuel gauge (11) of FIG. 1 (b) is a digital fuel gauge (9) in the case of a digital fuel gauge. , A display (7) indicating the left side by a symbol opposite to that of FIG. 1 and a display (8) indicating the left side by characters. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a mark indicating the right side of the fuel supply port, a character, and a symbol indicating the right side and a display indicating the left side are indicated by the mark, the character, and the symbol of the fuel supply port. These can be used in various combinations and display methods so that they are easy to understand and view. The present invention
It has the above configuration. When using the present invention, when driving a car, looking inside the meter and instrument display panel body (1), when the fuel is low and going to the stand to refuel, the meter and instrument panel display body ( The fuel supply port indication shown in 1) can be viewed at the same time, and at that time, it is sufficient to look at the right or left side.

[0008]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

[0009] Meters and gauges are shown on the display panel, so they are easy to see even while driving a car, and because they use easy-to-understand marks, letters, and symbols, they are ergonomically refueled. The position of the mouth is immediately known, so there is no mistake. Further, when displayed on the fuel gauge, the amount of fuel has been reduced, so that when going to the stand, it is possible to see it at the same time as checking the remaining amount of fuel, so that there is no risk of overlooking without waste. Therefore, there is no need to change the location of the car in the stand, and a contact accident can be prevented beforehand, and an accident prevention action can be obtained. In addition, when renting a car, riding a variety of cars for work, riding a lot of cars, replacing a car, or using another car, the location of the fuel supply port by each car There are many things left and right, so you often get lost, but don't worry.
