Typically, the soft pedal engages a pedal rod.  The pedal rod engages a trap lever, in the case of the grand soft pedal, usually cast iron.  The trap lever engages a member of the keyframe.

Leather suggests the first or second points of engagement, above.  My guess is that it is the third, where the cast iron lever engages the keyframe.
