ABSTRACT:
The illuminator constituting an indirect illumination is provided on the driver side of the switch cover of the horn switch provided at the fixed portion. Specifically, the clear acryl plate is provided on the driver side of the switch cover. On the driver side of the acryl plate is provided the mask portion coated with black paint, while on its vehicle-front-side surface is provided the reflecting portion with coated white paint. The LEDs are provided behind the mask portion and inside the acryl plate. The mask portion constitutes the emblem of vehicle makers, and the emblem portion shines when the LEDs are tuned on. Thus, the visible function of the operational portion (switch cover), which is provided at the fixed portion can be improved.
