In the case of a triggering device (1) for triggering of a switch, in particular of a power switch, with a about an axis (13) pivotable lever (10) with a first arm (11), which a release element (2), which in a movement in a direction (20) a triggering of the switch, without any substantial increase in the drive power of the shock resistance be improved in that the pivotable lever (10) a second arm (12) which, relative to the first arm (11) is arranged in such a way that in the case of a to the axis (13) acting force in a direction opposite to the direction of trigger (20) via the first arm (11) a first torque (m1) and, via the second arm (12), a second torque (m2) on the lever (10) acts, wherein the first torque (m1) and the second torque (m2) are directed in opposite directions.
