ABSTRACT:
An actuation device includes a frame, a linkage mechanism and a handle mechanism. The handle mechanism includes a handle and a connection link, each having a first end and an opposite second end. The first end of the handle is pivotally connected to the frame. The first end of the connection link is pivotally connected to the handle and the second end of the connection link is pivotally connected to the linkage mechanism. Movement of the second end of the handle rotates the handle about an axis determined by a connection point of the first end of the handle to the frame and results in movement of the connection link in a first direction causing translation of the linkage mechanism in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction to mechanically and electrically connect a power supply to an outside circuit through an opening of the frame.
