Abstract (en)

The device has a movable control knob (60) with a hollow part (70) to be inserted in an opening (10) of a housing frontage (20). A sliding light guide ring (40), with a visible part (45), transmits the light from a light source (100) e.g. LED, to the part (45). Light guiding units are constituted of the ring, the part (45) and partially the part (70) to be inserted. An inner part (80) forms bearings for guiding the movement of the knob with respect to the frontage.
