Abstract

The device has a movable indicator unit (4) including a slider (5) with a chamfered edge (52) that lies on a portion of a housing (3). The chamfered edge causes a displacement of the slider from an initial position to an end position with respect to a window (21) of an actuating unit (2) during a movement of the actuating unit from one position to another position, where the movement is exerted with respect to the housing. The displacement causes a rotation of the indicator unit about a rotational axis (6) that runs through the indicator unit.
