A through hole is provided in the side wall of the mounting fixture, facing a work hole for removing the operation knob formed at the end of the operation knob from the operation rod at the end of the cable or the like.

[0007]

With the above construction, a shaft and a lock pin are integrally mounted on an end of an idle control cable or the like, and the shaft is engaged and fixed. The end is housed and fixed in a bezel as a fixture. When removing the operating knob, remove the mounting tool from the mounting panel and insert a rod-shaped tool into the working hole drilled at the end of the operating knob through the through hole provided on the side wall of the bezel body By pressing the lock pin engaged between the end of the work hole and the groove of the shaft, the engagement between the end of the work hole of the lock pin and the groove of the shaft can be released. Therefore, the operation knob can be easily removed.

In addition, since the operation knob itself requires a certain space outside a working hole for inserting a rod-shaped tool when removing the operation knob, conventionally, the operation knob must be projected outside the mounting panel. But on the side wall of the bezel,
A through hole is provided at the position opposite to the work hole drilled at the end of the operation knob that stores and fixes the end in this bezel body, so remove the bezel from the mounting panel and remove the operation knob Since the operation knob does not need to be protruded from the mounting panel, the mounting position of the operation knob can be arranged without any limitation due to the relationship with the occupant.
