Abstract

An adjustable knober system includes an elongated structure; a knober adjustably engaged with the elongated structure; an adjuster secured to the knober and configured to adjust a position of the knober relative to the elongated structure; and a mount secured to a back surface of the elongated structure, the mount is configured to secure the elongated structure of a support structure.

Claims

1. An adjustable knober system, comprising:

an elongated structure;

a knober adjustably engaged with the elongated structure;

an adjuster secured to the knober and configured to adjust a position of the knober relative to the elongated structure; and

a mount secured to a back surface of the elongated structure, the mount is configured to secure the elongated structure to a support structure; and

a fixed stop at a first end of the elongated structure;

wherein the fixed stop prevents sliding movement of the knober relative to the elongated structure; and

an adjustable stop secured to a second end of the elongated structure;

wherein the adjustable stop prevents the sliding movement of the knober relative to the elongated structure.

2. The system of claim 1, the elongated structure, comprising:

an elongated body forming a channel with c-shaped sides;

wherein the knober fits within the channel and slidingly engages with the c-shaped sides.

3. The system of claim 1, the knober having:

a base and a protrusion extending from the base.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the base slidingly engages with the elongated structure.

5. The system of claim 4, the adjuster comprising:

a string secured to the base; and

a ring secured to the string.

6. The system of claim 1, the mount being pivotally engaged to the elongated structure.
