Abstract (en)

The retractable rotary knob (1) for controlling power on a domestic stove, normally recessed in the stove control panel and projected for switching operations, comprises a marker ring (2) indicating the setting numbers (3) of the control knob (1), made of semi-rigid plastic in form of a strip, which clamps a peripheral body (6) of the knob The setting numbers (3) visible from above are impressed on said ring (2) which is fitted on said body (6) between two emerging ridges (13,14) by means of two retaining hooks to engage into corresponding openings on the body (6) wall. The marker ring has a gap in its perimeter for its diametral expansion. Interchangeability is facilitated by two enlarged ends which are pressed to release the ring from the knob.
