Mechanical knob apparatus capable of push and rotation operations

Abstract

A mechanical knob which may be designed and tuned according to various design conditions (size and the like of the knob) without restriction conditions such as a size, height, and the like, its push and rotation operations may be performed, and many parts are unnecessary unlike the conventional mechanical knobs. The mechanical knob apparatus includes a dial configured to transmit a force at which a user rotates or presses the knob to perform the rotation or push rotation of the knob as an exterior part of the knob exposed to the outside, a push operation unit coupled to the dial through a radial bearing to perform the push operation, and a rotation operation unit coupled to the dial to perform both the push operation and the rotation operation.
