A control knob is secured to a device shaft means for securing a control knob to a device shaft that eliminates loosening of the control knob relative to the device shaft during rotational and push/pull directional movement of the control knob. In addition, the control knob is secured to the device shaft to provide leeway during initial securement of the control knob to the device shaft due to tolerances in a front mounting plate. The control knob includes a threaded bore and a set screw disposed therein for securing the control knob to the device shaft. An angled groove having a plurality of angled side portions is formed into a surface of an end portion of the device shaft, whereby cooperation of the set screw within the angled groove comprises adjustable securement of the control knob to the device shaft during rotation of the control knob and device shaft.
In a control device having a stationary front panel, an actuating device comprising a device shaft extending through an aperture in the control panel for rotation about an axis relative to the panel, and a control knob on the device shaft, the control knob including a knob securement means comprising:
