         Application No. 09/337,492                                                 

         knob and a tactile switch so as to maintain a constant gap                 
         between the control knob and the tactile switch.                           
              This is best seen in renumbered figure 2 (original figure             
         3).                                                                        

                                                                                   






         As shown in the figure, the gap maintaining member is illustrated          
         as semi-elastic switch cover 6, which includes switch covers 4.            
         As stated in the specification (page 8), switch cover 6 is braced          
         by a combination of flexible supports 15 and latching members 5.           
         As illustrated                                     in renumbered           
         figure 1,
