An adapter arranged to secure to a rotary device having a knob, the adapter having an axis and rotatable about the axis, the adapter comprising:
- a handle having a width greater than the knob of the rotary device and rotatable about the axis;
- a coupler extending from and coaxial with the handle, and adapted to engage the knob of the rotary device, the coupler oriented coaxially with the handle along the axis;
- wherein the adapter defines a cavity formed by a cavity wall defined about the axis and extending from an engagement side into the coupler;
- wherein a spacer protrudes from an upper portion of the cavity wall and is defined along the axis.
A system including a rotary device and an adapter arranged to secure to the rotary device, the rotary device having a first axis and the adapter having a second axis arranged to be placed in alignment with the first axis of the rotary device, the adapter comprising:
- a handle having a width greater than a width of a knob of the rotary device and rotatable about the second axis;
- a coupler extending from and coaxial with the handle, and adapted to engage the knob of the rotary device, the coupler oriented coaxially with the handle along the second axis;
- wherein the adapter defines a cavity defined about the second axis and extending from an engagement side into the coupler, the coupler including a rim coaxial with the second axis and surrounding at least part of the cavity.
A system including a rotary device and an adapter arranged to secure to the rotary device, the rotary device having a first axis and the adapter having a second axis arranged to be placed in alignment with the first axis of the rotary device, the adapter comprising:
- a handle having a width greater than a width of a knob of the rotary device and rotatable about the second axis;
- a coupler extending from and coaxial with the handle, and adapted to engage the knob of the rotary device, the coupler oriented coaxially with the handle along the second axis;
- wherein the adapter defines a cavity defined about the second axis and extending from an engagement side into the coupler, the coupler including a rim coaxial with the second axis and surrounding at least part of the cavity;
- wherein the coupler has a diameter greater than a diameter of knob of the rotary device;
- wherein the handle and the coupler are formed as a monolithic single mass of material integrally and continuously formed to define the handle and the coupler.
