Abstract
A selector switch includes a knob, a bezel and a retaining clip. The retaining clip is mounted on the knob and secures the knob to the bezel. The retaining clip is C-shaped and has a tab centrally disposed on the retaining clip. When the tab is pressed by a tool, the retaining clip contracts and the knob may be detached from the bezel. The tab can be accessed through a slot between the bezel and the knob by a screwdriver. The knob, bezel and retaining clip can be made of plastic.
