Abstract

A switching lever mechanism for operating a switching lever between two end positions comprising first and second laterally spaced apart cams, a follower lever physically mounted between its ends and including one end with a roller follower disposed between the cams. An opposite end of the follower lever is connectible to a member for shifting the member. A socket is formed on the follower lever between the roller follower and the pivotal mounting thereof and a bolt having a spherical head is pivotally mounted on the socket. A bracket mounted in a stationary position alongside the follower lever is provided with a set screw having a head portion. A sleeve is pivotally mounted on the head portion and carries the bolt. A spring biases the sleeve and bolt outwardly to hold the follower lever in either of its two end positions.
