Abstract

A knob is used on an adjustment member rotatable about an axis and having a periphery formed with a plurality of radially outwardly open recesses. This member may be the adjustment member of a motor-vehicle seat-angle adjuster. The knob comprises an annular collar closely surrounding the periphery of the adjustment member, a plurality of entrainment formations projecting inwardly from the collar into every other recess, and a plurality of hooks each engaging axially through the remaining recesses with the member. The hooks and the formations together transmit angular force between the member and the knob which is made of synthetic-resin material as one integral piece.
