Abstract:
A rotary knob (10) comprising: a knob body (11) which has a recess (22) formed in the inner peripheral surface (21) of a peripheral wall section (20); a light guide member (30) which has in sequence a light guide section (31), a restriction section (32), and a light emitting surface (33a); and a decoration member (40) which has an engagement section (41) and a ring-like portion (42) which covers the tip of the peripheral wall section (20). The recess (22) is defined by a pair of facing surfaces (22a) and a bottom surface (22b). The light guide section (31) is extended so as to be fitted between the facing surfaces (22a). The restriction section (32) protrudes in the circumferential direction and has contact sections (36) which are in contact at the tips thereof with the peripheral wall section (20). The ring-like portion (42) of the decoration member (40) is in contact at the tip thereof with the restriction section (32) to prevent the knob body (11) and the light guide member (30) from moving relative to each other. The peripheral wall section (20) has a holding section (24) for sandwiching the light guide section (31) in cooperation with the bottom surface (22b).
