VALVE OPERATING LEVER

摘要

The present invention pertains to a valve actuating lever having a non-cut formed oblong base body which is configured essentially symmetrical to a longitudinal symmetry plane extending essentially longitudinally therefrom, a valve contact area arranged on a first end of said base body, two tabs arranged on both sides of said longitudinal symmetry plane in said valve contact area, each respectively having a lateral surface aligned facing said longitudinal symmetry plane, whereby said tabs are formed on said base body and bent over toward said valve contact area. Said tabs are arranged spaced at a clearance distance at an end edge of said oblong base body, said clearance distance being less than the clearance of said lateral surfaces in the valve contact area. At least one of the tabs has a connecting portion extending from said longitudinal symmetry plane in which the clearance between said lateral surfaces enlarges as well as at least one parallel portion in which said lateral surfaces extend essentially parallel to said longitudinal symmetry plane.
