ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a new and improved rod retainer for connecting an elongated actuating rod terminating in a short right angle end portion to an apertured lever. The retainer includes a unique hinged rod receiving member which is initially disposed in an opened position for partially receiving the rod. After receiving the rod, the hinged member automatically pivots towards a cooperating wall upon further displacement of the rod toward the retainer until the hinged member automatically lockingly engages the cooperating wall. In the locked position, the rod is securely held between the hinged member and the cooperating wall.
