  • the panels whereon the knobs are arranged are produced from glass or metal and circular apertures are provided on the panel, through which the shafts of the knobs pass. If a proper leak-proofing is not maintained between the said apertures and the knob, liquids, such as water, detergent, etc, spilled onto the cooktop, reach the gas taps or the electric switches in the cooktop and cause them to be damaged.
  • a sealing gasket is disclosed, that is positioned between the buttons and tray of counter-top furnaces.
  • a seal element is disclosed, that is situated on the hob cover of a gas cooking hob and used at the aperture through which the shaft of the button passes.
  • the WO 89/09900 A1 describes a seal for sealing a shaft to a sheet of material.
  • the seal has a hollow body of hard material that extends through an aperture in the sheet, and soft sealing elements that extend radially inwardly of the body for sealing towards the shaft and the sheet.
  • the body further has claws that retain the body in the aperture by cooperating with a washer.
  • the US 4 656 689 discloses a grommet device for providing an air seal between a conduit and a wall opening.
  • the grommet device has a relatively stiff fastener portion with claws extending therefrom for engaging the edges of the wall around the wall opening. An elastomeric seal portion is pressed by the fastener portion to the wall.
  • the DE 39 39 717 A1 discloses an electrical switch wherein a sealing element encircles an aperture in a front plate and is pressed between a holding disk and a sealing disk.
  • the holding disk and the sealing disk are made from e.g. polyamide and attached to each other by a snap-fit.
  • the FR 2694424 discloses a cylindrical collar mounted behind the control knob of a household appliance.
  • the collar carries at least two flexible fingers on its outer surface which pass through an aperture in a panel of the appliance and expand to grip the rear of the panel.
  • the DE 103 02 116 A1 discloses a covering ring which prevents liquids or other substances from entering into the aperture provided for a knob of a cooking device.
  • Document EP 2 023 358 A1 discloses an element for a domestic appliance for switching and/or adjusting an operation parameter of the appliance by rotating an adjusting knob around an axis, having an axle extending through a bore in a plate element of the appliance.
