Abstract
An electronic appliance with a construction capable of maintaining a desired contact space between the control switch of its control circuit board coupled between first and second cases mating with each other and the control shaft of its control knob. A plurality of elastic members are provided at the second case to apply a resilience force generated therefrom to the control circuit board when they receive a force applied to the first case upon assembling the first case with the second case via the control circuit board, so that the control circuit board can move toward the first case in such a manner that an accurate contact space is maintained between the control knob fixedly mounted to the first case and the control switches of the control circuit board. Accordingly, an improvement in productivity and reliance is achieved.
