16 18 this also applies similarly to the one part version the first transmission element 14 has a first short lever arm a 1 and a second long lever arm b 1 the second transmission element 22 similarly has a first short lever arm a 2 and a second long lever arm b 2 a downwardly directed deflection of the actuator 10 is transmitted to the actuating member 46 by means of the construction illustrated in that first the third bearing region 38 of the first transmission element 14 is deflected according to the ratio of a 1 and b 1 the third bearing region 38 of the first transmission element 14 in this case acts on the fifth bearing region 42 of the second transmission element 22 and deflects the second transmission element 22 the sixth bearing region 44 of the second transmission element 22 thereby acts on the actuating member 46 and deflects the latter as a function of the amount of deflection of the actuator 10 and of the lengths of the lever arms a 1 b 1 a 2 and b 2 the two stage lever device illustrated allows a high lever action without a large amount of construction space being taken up furthermore a high rigidity of the transmission elements 14 22 can be achieved as a result of their relatively short lever arms if.
