Abstract
A knob for furniture consists of a knob head (2), on the underside of which a knob base (3) protrudes. The knob head and base include a hollow cavity(s) resulting in a reduction of material requirements in the manufacture of the knob. Within a central cavity (5) in the knob base (3), there is a threaded hole (7) to accommodate a fastener screw (8). The threaded bore is disposed at a distance from the underside end of the knob base creating the cavity which results in the material savings during manufacture.
