Versenkbarer Drehknebel (1) zum Einstellen für die hinter einer Schalterblende angeordneten Schalt- und Regeleinrichtungen in Haushaltsgeräten, wie Herde, Waschmaschinen oder, dgl., der unter der Einwirkung einer in Achsrichtung wirkenden Druckfeder gehalten ist. Der Drehknebel (1) ist bei zusammengedrückter Druckfeder mittels eines in der Raststellung in einer geschlossenen Nutbahn (6) eingerasteten Gleitstiftes (9) in Versenkstellung fixiert. Die Versenkstellung des Drehknbels (1) ist durch Antippen des Drehknebels auslösbar, wobei dieser durch Entspannen der Druckfeder in seine Betriebsstellung vor der Schalterblende bringbar ist. Um mechanische Abnutzungen an der Nutbahn (6) zu vermeiden, ist der Gleitstift (9) beweglich gehaltert und wird mittels eines Federelementes (13) in die Nutbahn (6) gedrückt
