The lever () mechanically couples the pushbutton () and the effecting device () in such a way that a movement of the pushbutton () in the second direction () is accompanied by a movement of the effecting device () in the first direction (), which is opposite to the second direction (). The lever () does not have an area that is rotationally symmetrical to the pivot axis () in the region of the pivot axis ().
