Abstract:
A rotary controller selectively-disengageable locking knob assembly, including a hub having a longitudinal axis and an axial bore extending at least partially through the inner hub along the longitudinal axis, wherein the axial bore is configured to receive a shaft of a rotary controller arranged in or on a device surface. The hub includes a radial bore extending from an outer surface of the hub to the axial bore, wherein the radial bore is perpendicular to the axial bore. A knob is concentrically disposed about at least a portion of the hub, wherein the knob includes at least one central bore structured to receive at least a portion of the hub, a radial slot alignable with the radial bore, and a circumferential bottom surface having a first engagement arrangement. The knob is axially moveable on the hub to selectively disengage the first engagement arrangement from contact with the second engagement arrangement.

Claim (Index 24):
A rotary controller locking knob assembly, comprising:\n a base arrangeable around a rotary controller shaft, wherein the base includes an upper surface having a selectively engageable base locking structure; a knob connectable to the rotary controller shaft, wherein the knob actuator includes a lower surface having a knob locking structure, which is structured and arranged to correspondingly engage with the base locking structure; and a biasing member having a biasing direction; wherein the knob is biased with the biasing member relative to the base so that the base locking structure is engaged with the knob locking structure, and wherein the knob is selectively disengageable from the base through moving the knob in a direction opposite to the biasing direction of the biasing member.
