On the top of the two parallel webs there are numerous slots evenly spaced from one another, each with a long side the ridges form a right angle. The slots of the actuator are on the same transverse plane as the slots of the adjacent actuating element. In these U-shaped recess of the first element becomes a second actuating element axially slidably inserted. This is opposed by a spring element in a neutral position held the first actuator. In the course of an actuation process the actuating elements are compressed against the action of the spring element.
