Abstract
A rotary variable resistor includes a variable resistor body mounted to a console panel, a rotor shaft protruding outward from the variable resistor body, and a control knob coupled to an outer end of the rotor shaft. A single plate-shaped stopper is projectingly provided, along a rotational direction of the rotor shaft, on a front face of the variable resistor body from which the rotor shaft protrudes. First and second restricting portions are provided on the control knob side-by-side along the rotational direction of the rotor shaft to alternately abut against the stopper in defining an actual rotational angle of the rotor shaft.
