Abstract (en)

A control device for a household electrical appliance allowing easy viewing of signs (13) carried by a sign-carrying element (6) associated with a knob (4) for controlling the appliance operational functions, in which the sign-carrying element (6) is cup-shaped and is mounted rockable on the operating shaft (1A) on which the knob is mounted, said element (6) cooperating with a fixed thrust member (7) acting on the lateral surface (35) of the element (6), so as to maintain this latter in a position such that its longitudinal axis of symmetry (W) cuts the axis of rotation (F) of the knob (4) at an angle ( alpha ) which remains substantially constant for any position of the knob. <IMAGE>
