Abstract
A rotary knob device (1, 20) having a key function includes a key (5, 30) in a rotary knob (2, 23), which is operated separately from the rotary knob so that the key (5, 30) need not also be moved when the rotary knob (2, 23) is moved. In this regard, a holder (6, 24.1) is provided inside the rotary knob (2, 23), on which the rotary knob (2, 23) and the key (5, 30) are mounted to be thereby linked together structurally while functioning separately. The rotational control is transmitted by the rotary knob (2, 23), while key, linear movement, control is transmitted through the separate key (5, 30).
