Coupling between control panel knob and control mechanism with offset between driving and driven axes

摘要

The coupling between a control knob (1) and the driven control spindle (8) is provided by an Oldham joint (10) inserted between the control knob and the driven spindle to accommodate offset between their axes. The Oldham joint is enclosed in a connection between the knob and control spindle, formed by pins (20a,20b) that engage in cavities (19a,19b) at the end of flexible tongues inside the knob.
