ABSTRACT:
A resilient lever assembly which incorporates spring action whereby the resilient portion of the assembly constantly urges a rigid lever against a lever movement resistance member connected to the lever. The action is accomplished by securing the resilient support to the fixed member in a rotational position such that the resilient support is stressed in the proper direction. The resilient support is in the form of an extension of the lever having spring-like properties and secured at its outer end to a fixed member. The lever movement resistance member may be in the form of a stop adjacent the rigid lever, or the valving of a vehicle brake booster against which the lever is urged. In one version of the invention, the resilient lever extension is secured to the fixed member by means of a U-shaped bracket. In another version, the resilient lever extension is secured directly to the fixed member. The resilient lever extension may be integrally formed with the lever as a unitary member or may be rigidly secured thereto.
