Abstract
A drive device, in particular a spindle drive for a vehicle panel, including a housing, a drive element which extends along a drive axis, an output element which extends along an output axis, and a coupling device which is arranged between the drive element and the output element which has at least one first coupling element for coupling the drive element and the output element. The coupling device can be moved from a decoupling position into a coupling position, which couples the drive element and the output element together, by actuating the drive element.
Claims13
A drive device for a vehicle panel, comprising:
- a housing;
- a drive element which extends along a drive axis;
- an output element which extends along an output axis;
- and
- a coupling device which is arranged between the drive element and the output element with at least one first coupling element for coupling the drive element and the output element, wherein the coupling device can be displaced from a decoupling position into a coupling position, in which the drive element and the output element are coupled to one another, by actuating the drive element,
- wherein the first coupling element has a thread which, in the decoupling position of the coupling device, is in engagement with a mating thread, wherein the first coupling element is moved into the coupling position by mutual rotation of the thread and of the mating thread, wherein the mating thread is arranged on the housing.
