The subject of the invention is a rotary control knob (2) of a control panel in particular for a ventilation, heating and/or air-conditioning installation of a vehicle cabin. This control knob (2) consists of a cylinder (3) provided at one of its ends with a gripping member (6) intended for the user, and equipped with at least one boss (15) for limiting its rotational travel between its end positions. Said boss (15) is formed at the base of the gripping member (6) and is covered at least partially by a flexible mass (19) emanating from a flexible covering (18) of the gripping member (6).
End-stop device for butting engagement between a control knob (2) and a control panel, in particular of a ventilation, heating and/or air-conditioning installation of a vehicle cabin, to limit the relative movement between said knob (2) and a support (1) of the control panel between end positions, characterized in that said device is covered at least partially by a flexible mass (19).
End-stop device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it additionally comprises a bearing member (10, 11, 12) formed on the support (1), said bearing member (10, 11, 12) being covered at least partially by said flexible mass (19).
End-stop device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the flexible mass (19) is applied by overmolding.
End-stop device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the flexible mass (19) is formed from a material of the elastomer family.
Control knob (2) of a control panel in particular for a ventilation, heating and/or air-conditioning installation of a vehicle cabin, this control knob (2) mainly consisting of a cylinder (3) provided at one of its ends with a gripping member (6) intended for the user, this cylinder (3) being designed to be rotatably mounted on a support (1) of the control panel, characterized in that it comprises an end-stop device for limiting the rotational travel of said cylinder between end positions, said device being covered at least partially by a flexible mass (19).
Control panel of a ventilation, heating and/or air-conditioning installation of a vehicle cabin, comprising a support (1) which has at least one housing (4) for receiving a control knob (2), characterized in that it comprises an end-stop device for limiting the travel of said knob (2) between end positions, said device being covered at least partially by a flexible mass (19).
