Abstract (en)

A control member or knob (M), of the push-pull type, to be associated with a control element provided on the control panel of an apparatus such as a household electrical appliance or an electrical apparatus in general, comprises an end part (13) to be connected to said panel and having a member (18) to receive and cooperate torsionally with said control element, with said part (13) there being associated a body (1) axially movable along said part against the action of a spring (9) and cooperating torsionally therewith. The member (18) cooperating with the control element is arranged, movable relative to the knob longitudinal axis (X), within a cavity (17) in the end part (13) of the knob (M); there being provided axial retention means (25, 31) for this latter which prevent said member (18) escaping from the cavity (17) while enabling it to undergo said movement. <IMAGE>
