A translucent plate 7 made of, for example, acrylic resin is mounted above the display 6, on which a refueling machine number, e.g., "1", and an oil type name, e.g., "regular" are written, which correspond to the refueling hose processing case. Illumination lights 8.9 are provided behind the semi-transparent plate 7 and in front of the lower part of the display 6, respectively.

The illumination device 2 attached above the refueling amount display device 1 has an illumination light 13 disposed inside an oblong case 12 whose front portion is covered with a milky-white translucent lid 11 made of acrylic resin or the like. It is assumed that the longitudinal direction and the depth of this horizontally long case 12 are equal to the horizontally long flat case 5 of the oil supply amount display device 1, respectively.

The information display device 3 has a horizontally elongated case 14 which has the same length in the horizontal direction as the horizontally long flat case 5 of the fuel amount display device l, but has a smaller depth and length in the vertical direction. This display device 15 has a built-in display device 15 for displaying the fuel amount, and this display device 15 has a magnetic reversal plate 15a that is independently reversed by the action of magnetic force as a display element, similar to the display device 6 provided in the refueling amount display device 1. There were 4 digits with 7 digits arranged in a diagonal pattern.

The information display device 3 also includes display sections 16 and 17 that display whether the refueling amount or refueling amount has been preset.
and a refueling data input/output device (hereinafter referred to as PO8) that stores refueling data etc. for each customer when performing card refueling.
A display section 18 indicating the presence or absence of information from the card, a display section 19 indicating the expiration of the card, and a display section 20 indicating that there is an error in the card operation are provided. 21 in the figure has a preset setting of, for example, 10f, 20J..., or 1
Displays are shown to indicate integer values such as ooo yen, 2000 yen, etc., and illumination lights (not shown) are provided behind these display sections 16 to 21.

4 and 5 show a spacer 22 interposed between the refueling amount display device 1, and this spacer 22 is made of plastic, sheet metal, etc., and the shape of the front surface 22a is arranged above and below the refueling amount display device 1. The cross section is formed in a U-shape with the rear surface 22b being open, which is almost the same as the overall front shape with the information display device 3 attached, and a groove 23 is formed in the horizontal and longitudinal direction in the upper part of the front surface 22a. A stepped portion 24 that retracts backward is formed at the lower part, and linear patterns 25a and 25b are applied in the horizontal direction along the groove 23 and the stepped portion 24.

Note that if the spacer 22 is made of translucent plastic, an illumination light 34 may be provided inside.

In this way, the illumination device 2 is attached to the upper surface of the refueling amount display device 1 in close contact therewith, and the information display device 3 is also attached to the lower surface in close contact with the upper surface of the refueling amount display device 1.
, the illumination device 2 and the information display device 3 are integrally coupled vertically, and the number corresponding to the refueling hose processing device 27 is brought into close contact in the lateral direction and is successively installed on the front surface of the beam member 32.

In this connected state, the horizontally long flat case 5 of each oil supply amount display device 1 has horizontal edges 10a, 10b only on the top and bottom ends, and there are no edges on the left and right ends, so these edges 10a, 10 b is continuous in a straight line in the horizontal direction, giving the impression that the plurality of horizontally long flat cases 5. ! A feeling arises.

Further, since the lighting device 2 and the information display device 3 are connected to the beam member 32 in close contact with each other in the horizontal direction,
Similar to the refueling amount display device 1, a sense of connection in the lateral direction is created, giving the impression that they are one body.

For example, in a gas station where the number of hose processing devices 27, 27... is small and the fuel supply amount display devices 1.1... cannot be installed consecutively in the length direction of the beam member 32, the fuel supply amount A spacer 22 is interposed between the display devices 1.1, the groove 23 of the spacer 22 is connected to the boundary line between the refueling amount display device 1 and the lighting device 2, the stepped portion 24 is connected to the information display device 3, and further By connecting the linear patterns 25a and 25b to the edges 10a and 10b, respectively, a sense of continuity is created between the oil supply amount display device 1.1 and the spacer 22, and the horizontally long flat case 5 of each oil supply amount display device 1.1 is created. Emphasizes the lateral spread of .5.

In this way, to refuel a car, press the lift switch attached to the case 30 of the hand switch provided in the refueling hose processing device 27 of the desired oil type to lower the refueling hose 2B, and read the card with the card reader 29. , the display section 1 of the information display device 3 attached to the refueling amount display device 1 corresponding to the refueling hose processing device 27 in accordance with the card information.
8.19 lights up, and if there is a mistake in card operation, the display section 20 lights up.

At this time, even though the refueling amount display device 1.1 is installed laterally, the translucent plate 7 on which the refueling machine number and oil type name corresponding to the refueling hose processing device 27 are written is installed at the back. It is illuminated by the light from the lighting lamp 8 (because it is illuminated,
The refueling amount display device 1 and information display device 3 to be used can be easily determined.

Then, if you press the preset button and select either the refueling amount or the refueling amount, either the display section 16 or 17 will light up, and if the refueling amount has been preset, the r
The amount of refueling is displayed sequentially as an integer value of 10, such as lOJ r20J r30J..., and if the refueling amount is preset, the display 15 will show r 100OJ.
r2000J 130 (100 like IOJ...
The refueling amount is displayed sequentially as an integer value of 0, so set the precent to the desired value.

Once the amount of refueling or the amount of refueling has been preset in this way, the refueling nozzle is inserted into the refueling port of the vehicle to refuel. At this time, the refueling amount is displayed on the display 6 of the refueling amount display device 1, but since the display 6 is slanted downward, it is easy to see when looking up from the ground. The light beam of the illumination lamp 8 reaches the front of the display device 6 through the gap created between the display device 6 and the horizontally long flat case 5, and the light beam of the illumination lamp 9 in front of the lower part of the display device 6 illuminates the front of the display device 6. Therefore, the front surface of the display 6 is brightly illuminated by the two illumination lights 8.9, making it easy to read the numerical values.

The illumination lamp 13 in the illumination device 2 also illuminates the entire refueling amount display device 1 and makes their presence noticeable, but since the lid 11 of the illumination device 2 is a milky-white translucent plate, the light source is difficult to see. There is no direct contact with the light, so there is no glare.

When the refueling amount or refueling amount reaches the preset value and refueling is completed, remove the refueling nozzle from the refueling port and press the switch for raising and lowering the refueling hose 28 provided in the case 30 of the hand switch. It is lifted up and stored in the refueling hose processing device 27.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, when a plurality of oil supply amount display devices of the present invention are installed in a row in the horizontal direction, the horizontal linear border is continuous, so that the distance between the oil supply amount display devices is This creates a sense of connection between the two parts, giving the impression that they are one whole, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the layout of the gas station.
