Abstract
An operating mechanism is provided and has an operating lever, an adjusting lever, and a valve element that is rotatably disposed in a channel, wherein the adjusting lever is connected with the valve element via a shaft. A coupling element is provided for interconnecting the positions of the operating lever and the adjusting lever. The distance of the pivot axis of the adjusting lever from a connection of the coupling element with the adjusting lever is variable as a function of the position of the adjusting lever.
Claims11
An operating mechanism, comprising:
- an operating lever;
- an adjusting lever;
- a valve element that is rotatably disposed in a channel, wherein said adjusting lever is connected with said valve element via a shaft;
- and
- a coupling element for interconnecting positions of said operating lever and said adjusting lever, wherein a distance of a pivot axis of said adjusting lever from a connection of said coupling element with said adjusting lever is variable as a function of a position of said adjusting lever, so that the pivot axis of the adjusting lever has a predetermined first distance from the connection of the coupling element to the adjusting lever in a first position of the adjusting lever and a predetermined second distance in a second position of the adjusting lever, wherein the first distance is less than the second distance, and wherein the distance depends on the position of the adjusting lever.
