Abstract (en)

A combined bellcrank lever and plunger moulded integrally in plastics material has one arm (2) which engages a setting cam and another arm (3) connected to a displaceable member such as a switch operating plunger (4) through an integral ligament hinge (5). Also formed integrally with the lever and plunger is a shaft (1) by means of which the device is pivotally engaged in a support (10) by snap engagement. The ligament hinge (5) may have self-resilience enabling it to exert a biassing moment on the lever or the plunger when the device is installed.
