Abstract
A user control knob retention system includes a nut () which has a base (). The base includes two opposing nut end faces (), and a threaded bore () aligned with a base central axis (). A wall () extends transversely from a first one of the nut end faces. The wall defines an inner surface () which comprises a circular arc coaxial with the central axis. The wall extends at least partially around a circumference of the base to define a capture space (). An insert () rotatably retained within the capture space includes a body having a cylindrical shape. A retention barb () disposed on an outer cylindrical surface of the insert is configured for engaging an interlocking element () formed on an interior bore () of a user control knob ().
