I spoke with Ross Shafer at Sierra Steel Guitars about my design called "The Candy cane bell crank", because I designed it from a Sierra bell crank.
Here's a drawing I made 20 or so years ago and an explanation.
Please PM me if you would like to use this idea, maybe adapted to a different bell crank:

| Interesting idea but to return the rod to the upper position might not be so easy. Maybe? |

| I can see a push forward and the rod drops under gravity. But getting it back requires finding the right rod and pushing up along with the bellcrack at the same time |

It's an interesting idea but Ross Shafer's Sierra bell cranks don't have slots!  I just back out the tuning nut with a few quick turns. Not as fast as your invention, but it works.
