  • the inner body comprises at least one shaft connection extension connected to the shaft.
  • the assembly of the inner body to the shaft can be realized, and the shaft is rotated as the inner body is rotated.
  • At least one stopper tab is provided on the outer wall of the inner body.
  • the inner body is prevented from protruding through the opening provided on the outer body.
  • control element is a gas tap.
  • a gas tap is provided for controlling the power level of the heat source of the cooking device.
  • control element is a switch.
  • a switch is provided for controlling an ignition and the power level of the heat source of the cooking device.
  • the subject matter cooking device (1) has a body (10) and at least one control knob (20) provided on a control panel (11).
  • Said control knob (20) is connected to a control element (12) coming from a rear side of the control panel (11).
  • Said control element (12) comprising a shaft (13) extending through the control panel (11) and the control knob (20) connected to the shaft (13) of the control element (12) for rotating the shaft.
  • the shaft (13) can be rotated as the control knob (20) is rotated.
  • said control element (12) can be a gas tap or a switch.
  • the control knob (20) has at least one closing part (30) connected to the control panel (11), at least one ring body (40) connected to said closing part (30), and an inner body (60) inserted partially into said ring body (40), and an outer body (70).
  • Said outer body (70) is movable relative to the shaft (13) in an axial direction of the shaft (13) and the inner body (60) is connected to the shaft (13) in a manner not movable relative to the shaft (13).
  • the closing part (30) is provided in a cylindrical form, and it is connected to the control panel (11) from one face thereof.
  • the control element (12) is passed through a hole (31) provided on the closing part (30).
  • the ring body (40) is essentially provided in a cylindrical form.
  • the inner wall (42) may encircle the step (32) provided on the closing part (30).
  • the outer body (70) is provided in a cylindrical form.
  • the outer body (70) has a hollow structure.
  • an opening (72) is provided on the outer body (70).
  • the opening (72) is essentially provided in a compliant form to the inner body (60). In other words, the inner body (60) may partially pass through the opening (72).
  • the blocking part (71), provided at the outer body (70), and the tooth part (44), provided inside the ring body (40), are engaged to each other.
  • pluralities of scales (75) are provided on the outer body (70). At least one of said scales (75) extends from the side surface of the outer body (70) towards an outer body front face (74).
