Durch die kegelförmig ausgebildete Lagerfläche und den vergrößerten Außendurchmesser ist eine automatische Zentrierung des Drehknopfes an der korrespondierenden Lagerstelle der Bedienblende realisierbar, wenn der Drehknopf von der Versenklage in die Betätigungslage überführt wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the outer diameter of the ring member is larger than that of the knob formed and the ring member has a conical bearing surface, which is in the operating position of the knob with the bearing surface of the control panel in contact. Due to the cone-shaped bearing surface and the enlarged outer diameter is an automatic centering of the knob at the corresponding bearing point of the control panel realized when the knob is transferred from the verses suit in the operating position.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind der Drehknopf, der Halter und das Ringelement aus einem Teil, vorzugsweise als ein Kunststoffspritzgussteil ausgebildet. Insbesondere ist mittels dieser alternativen Ausführungsform eine Kosteneinsparung beim Herstellungsverfahren realisierbar.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the knob, the holder and the ring element of a part, preferably formed as a plastic injection molded part. In particular, a cost saving in the manufacturing process can be realized by means of this alternative embodiment.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die die Wellenanordnung lagernde Lagervorrichtung mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses an der Bedienblende fixiert. Dadurch ist vorteilhaft eine lösbare Verbindung der Lagervorrichtung an der Bedienblende erreichbar, die gleichzeitig einen festen Sitz in der Öffnung der Bedienblende realisiert.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bearing arrangement which supports the shaft arrangement is fixed to the control panel by means of a bayonet closure. This advantageously a detachable connection of the bearing device on the control panel can be reached, which simultaneously realizes a tight fit in the opening of the control panel.
