  • the EP 0 327 175 A1 shows a knob for control devices or the like with a bearing piece for a rotatable mounting in a housing part with a rotatably connected to an actuating shaft of the control unit body and a connectable thereto via a first latching handle, wherein the handle and body are substantially rotatably connected and wherein the Bearing piece has latching means for a second latching connection and is formed on the base body.
  • the DD 291 859 A5 describes a rotary knob with ratchet, consisting of a base body, a spring element which is anchored in the base body, and a knob, on the underside of a sprocket is arranged, wherein the base body has a bore and on top of a base with two slugs, said Spring element passes through the bore, rests on the base between the slugs and so far beyond this protrudes that the spring element is detected by the located on the underside of the knob ring gear of the area.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an improved home appliance.
  • a domestic appliance with a control panel and a rotary knob for actuating a control device of the household appliance wherein the control panel has an opening into which a guide portion of the knob inserted wherein the guide portion comprises radial guide members for radially guiding the guide portion on a cylindrical outer wall of the aperture and axial guide members for axially guiding the knob on the control panel, and wherein each radial guide member has a sliding surface adapted to be on the outer wall of the aperture to slide, each axial guide member having a latching hook, which is adapted to lock the knob on the control panel, wherein on the control panel surrounding the aperture annular recess is provided, into which the latching hooks are snapped, and wherein end faces of the latching hooks are adapted to slide on a bottom surface of the recess.
  • the control panel can also be referred to as the front panel.
  • both guide elements for radial guidance and guide elements for axial guidance of the rotary knob are provided on the control panel on the knob, a particularly play-free mounting of the knob can be achieved with small gaps. This creates a very good haptic feedback for a user who operates the appliance. Furthermore, a particularly high-quality impression is created. The fact that the knob is guided directly to the control panel, beyond a small space can be realized.
  • Each radial guide element has a sliding surface which is adapted to slide on the outer wall of the aperture.
