Do Trigger/Non-latching pull-cord ceiling switches exist?

Hi

I have an icon30 fan by AirFlow in my bathroom and it has live, permanent live
and neutral connections. It has a built-in (non-latching) pull cord too, but I want to
remove this. The fan has a humidistat and [10 minute] timer on it too.

Anyway, I have the *switched live* terminal going to a remote pull-cord switch
that can turn the fan on, BUT, I want to replace this pull-cord switch with one
that doesn't latch ON but just trigger the fan, i.e. I want it to operate like the built-in
pull cord.

So, all I want the pull switch to do is to *trigger* the fan into going on, and as it has
permanent live it will then stay on by itself for 10 mins. I don't like the current situation
of having to pull the remote switch twice (On then OFF again) just to trigger a 10 minute
session of extraction and I don't want to leave the remote switch in the ON position
otherwise I will be confused as to what state the fan is in, if you see what I mean.

So, do such trigger-only or non-latching pull-cord switches exist? And if so, where
can I get one. (I have looked and asked around quite a few places now with no luck)
(Also, if they do exist, what is their proper name?)

Thanks in advance.

it has a red cord (probally intended for call for help type systems) but you could easilly swap that.

Thank you very much!
Would you believe I just came from that shop and the shopkeeper said he didn't
do them! I'll go back there now!

Thanks again
