Abstract
A sealed adjusting device for mounting in the wall of a sealed instrument housing that includes at least one adjustable element, such as a potentiometer. The adjusting device comprises an elongated sleeve-like mounting hub capable of being sealingly secured in the housing wall, and a normally freely rotatable or freely turnable knob structured as a hollow capsule rotatably inserted onto one end of the mounting hub. The other end of the mounting hub receives or is connected with a portion of the adjustable element. A spring is provided within the mounting hub to hold the knob in its freely turnable or rotatable position. The knob is operatively connected with a clutch-sleeve for temporary engagement with the rotatable operating end of the adjustable element when the knob is pushed against the spring. The knob has a recessed portion fitted with the corresponding outer end portion of the mounting hub and an O-ring is provided between the knob and the mounting hub so as to seal the device and to protect the interior components from contact with water or other contaminants.
