  Generally, when providing the dividing member 87 between the substrate 47 and the light emitting display plate 46, the dividing member 87 is formed of the substrate 47 so that the light of the LEDs 61 and 62 does not leak to the outside or the other display portions 40 and 49 to 54. Place it in contact with the front. In particular, when arranging the effect display means 34 and the normal symbol display means 33 in close proximity, the normal symbol display means 33 and the normal symbol display means 33 do not affect the light of the effect display means 34 side to the normal symbol display means 33 side. The partitioning member 87 is in contact with the substrate 47 between the effect symbol display means 41 and the display.

  In this case, for example, the LEDs 61 of the normal symbol display means 33 are disposed on the outside of the outer peripheral wall 89 of the dividing member 87 so as to correspond to the dividing cylindrical portion 96. It is necessary to connect the connector 74 to the connector 74. However, if there is a circuit pattern in a portion where the contact portion 91 of the partition member 87 contacts the substrate 47, the circuit pattern is damaged by the contact portion 91 of the partition member 87 It becomes.

  However, by providing the circuit pattern 77 on the opposite side of the substrate 47 at a portion corresponding to the contact portion 91 of the dividing member 87, damage to the circuit pattern 77 due to contact with the dividing member 87 can be prevented. Also, there is a circuit pattern 76 on the front side of the substrate 47 near the LED 61, but there is a gap 98 between the compartment cylinder 96 and the substrate 47, so that the circuit pattern 76 is prevented from being damaged by the compartment cylinder 96 Can.

  Furthermore, the through hole 108 and the circuit pattern 76 are provided in the opening 96a of the compartment cylinder 96, and the conductor portion in the through hole 108 is connected to the circuit pattern 77 on the back surface of the substrate 47 to support the compartment cylinder 96 The supporting plate 97 is provided with the projection 99 that abuts on the substrate 47, so that contact between the compartment cylinder 96 and the substrate 47 can be prevented during assembly and the like.

  Also in the effect display means 34, there are a large number of LEDs 62 and a circuit pattern 80 on the front surface facing the dividing member 87 of the substrate 47, but the LED 62 on the inner peripheral side of the contact portion 91 abutting on the substrate 47 of the dividing member 87, Since the gap 95 is provided between the partition wall 90 and the substrate 47 while the circuit pattern 80 is disposed, the partition member 87 is in contact with the substrate 47 although the contact portion 91 of the partition member 87 is in contact with the substrate 47. It is possible to prevent damage to the LED 62 and the circuit pattern 80 due to the contact thereof.

  There is a gap 98 between the dividing cylinder 96 and the substrate 47 on the side of the normal symbol display means 33, and a gap 95 between the dividing wall 90 and the substrate 47 on the side of the effect display means 34. , 98 is less than the projecting height of the LEDs 61 and 62, it is possible to prevent the leakage of light emitted from the projecting end side of the LEDs 61 and 62.

  The outer peripheral wall 89 of the partitioning member 87 is L-shaped in cross section having a projecting edge 93 on the inner periphery on the substrate 47 side, and the partitioning wall 90 is T-shaped in cross section having projecting edges 94 on both sides in the thickness direction Therefore, the rigidity of the dividing member 87 can be enhanced by the reinforcing action. In addition, since the end face of the partition wall 90 on the side of the substrate 47 is wide due to the projecting edge 94, the gap 95 is less than the projecting height of the LED 62, so that the adjacent irradiation areas 49a to 54a are mutually separated. It is possible to minimize light leakage in the

  The LEDs 61 and 62 are disposed on the front surface of the substrate 47 corresponding to the partitioning member 87, and electronic components such as the resistors 71 and 72 other than the LEDs 61 and 62, the drive device 73, and the connector 74 are disposed on the back surface of the substrate 47. Therefore, the LEDs 61 and 62 on the side of the substrate 47 and the partition wall 90 on the side of the partition member 87 can be disposed corresponding to the shapes of the display portions 40 and 49 to 54.
