Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deformation of a cluster lid due to the change of external conditions by providing a concave-rail groove either on the opening end rim of the cluster lid or on the side of a meter unit for fitting one to the groove on the other to fix them with each other. CONSTITUTION:An opening end rim 6a of a cluster lid 6 in an instrument panel 1 is provided with a concave-rail groove 6b with a U-shaped section, while a side 4b of a meter unit 4 is fitted into the groove 6b, with a U-shaped section, while a side part 4b of a meter unit 4 is fitted into the groove 6b, and fixed. This construction permits to prevent the opening end of the cluster lid 6 from changing in accordance with the elapse of time and the change of external conditions.

The opening end edge 6a of the instrument panel 1aid and MiJ instrument panel lid 6 of this embodiment has a U-shaped concave groove 6b, and the meter unit is inserted into the groove 6b. The sides 4bhm of 4 are engaged and locked. Note that the groove 6
Generally, the fitting range of the side portion 4b and the side portion 4b extends over the entire circumference of the meter unit 4, but if it is safe, it may be fitted only to the upper and lower sides of the meter unit 4. If the front edge 4b and the opening edge 6a interfere with each other and cause abnormal noise, if necessary, attach a tape-shaped or sheet-shaped cushioning material 7 in the groove 6b, and remove the cushioning material. The side portion 4b may be fitted and locked to the inner assembly U of No.7.
