Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a planar lever, said method comprising:(a) providing two wire members, each wire member comprising: (i) an attachment shaft, and (ii) a longitudinal portion with a notched end and a bend; (b) providing one planar member, said planar member defining two cavities, with each said cavity: (i) defining a distal portion that hinders the rotation of the wire member about its longitudinal axis after the wire member is inserted into the cavity, and (ii) defining a proximal opening that permits the two wire members to be drawn together sufficiently to mount the lever onto a clamping element; (c) inserting each wire member into a respective cavity until the notched end reaches the distal portion; and (d) securing each wire member within the cavity with an adhesive.
