ABSTRACT:
The present assembly provides a coupling element for an adjustable hand lever mechanism. The coupling element having an disk shaped body, an extension and a projection. The disk shaped body has a D-shaped opening extending longitudinally therethrough. The coupling element may be made from a material, e.g., metal, that is harder than the material, e.g., plastic, from which the hand lever is made. The extension of the coupling element protrudes radially outward from the outer circumference of the disk shaped body. The projection is situated outside the disk shaped body of the coupling element and extends upward from the upper surface of the extension in a direction substantially parallel to the D-shaped opening of the disk shaped body. The D-shaped opening allows for ease of manufacturing by using a die having a D-shaped core for molding a hand lever about a coupling element. The D-shape ensures that the extension of the coupling element will be accurately oriented within the handle of the hand lever prior to and during the molding process.
