German term or phrase: Entarretierhebel
In a patent relating to a hand tool: "Andererseits weiste im wesentlichen die als eine, mit dem antreibenden Handwerkzeuggerät kombinierbare, Einheit ausgeführte Staubsaugung mit einem drehfest mit einer Welle des Handwerkzeugegerätes verbindbaren Saugrades einen drehbar gelagerten Entarretierhebel auf, welcher entgegen der Werkzeugrichtung betätigt in das Hanwerkzeuggerät eingreifende Arretierungsmittel freigibt."

Thanks very much!

Explanation:
Hello Harold,

I never heard about a "Entarretierhebel" or a "delocking lever" but I know "release lever". You get over 13,000 hits and if you check the context, that "dearretieren" means nothing but releasing.

Cheers
Claudia
