This is a special non-inverting lever wherein pressing on the handle on the right downwards makes the part on the left to go down. It can be used in many triggering applications including dot-matrix printers as compliant mechanisms can be easily miniaturized. Non-intuitive motion is the key feature of this mechanism. It was actually conceived for that purpose.
