ABSTRACT:
A rocker-actuating mechanism comprises a housing having top and sides with openings in the sides that extend part way into the top. A bottom member is latchably secured to the housing. A rocker member is rockably mounted in the housing and includes pie-shaped members extending outwardly from the sides of the rocker member with apexes of the pie-shaped members and an apex of a top surface of the rocker member engaging the inside surface of the top of the housing thereby defining a pivot about which the rocker member rocks. Arcuate surfaces of the pie-shaped members are for engaging the bottom member when the rocker member is moved. Actuating arms extend outwardly from the rocker member and are disposed in the openings for actuating the rocker member. A spring-biased button is disposed in a cavity of the rocker member and moves along the bottom member. Stop surfaces on the rocker member engage the inside top surface of the housing to limit movement of the rocker member.
