Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a lever having a hollow body between a first end and a second end, wherein the second end of the lever lacks an electrical switching element and the lever lacks a cable harness associated with an electrical switching element; a connector adjacent to the first end of the lever and in communication with the hollow body of the lever; and a catch line having a first end, a second end, and a body portion between the first and second ends of the catch line, the catch line running through the hollow body of the lever with the first end of the catch line being connected to the connector and the second end of the catch line being connected to the second end of the lever, wherein a part of the body portion of the catch line adjacent the first end of the catch line encircles the connector; wherein the catch line consists of at least one of plastic and nylon; wherein, upon the lever breaking away from the connector, the part of the body portion of the catch line encircling the connector is pulled about the connector and the catch line secures the lever to the connector as the catch line is connected to both of the second end of the lever and the connector to thereby prevent the lever from breaking away further from the connector.
