  • Bushing for use between a control knob and a housing
    Patent number: 4495547
    Abstract: A bushing is disclosed for protecting a printed circuit board mounted potentiometer or the like from transverse and axial loads which are applied to the potentiometer during adjustment thereof. The potentiometer or other control device has a control shaft which protrudes through a panel opening and which has a knob mounted on the distal end thereof. The bushing fits over the control shaft between the panel and the knob such that axial and radial forces applied to the knob are transmitted to the panel by the bushing. These forces are therefore absorbed by the panel rather than the attachments between the printed circuit board and the potentiometer.
