Abstract
A drive arrangement for driving an actuator is provided. The drive arrangement includes a drive device and a housing part which can be connected to or is connected to the drive device. At least one first plug-in element is arranged or configured on the drive device in the form of a pin- or peg-like plug-in projection. At least one second plug-in element corresponding to the at least one first plug-in element is arranged or configured on the housing part, and includes bore-like sockets. The drive device is connectable to the housing part via a plug-in connection at the first plug-in element and the second plug-in element.
Claims16
A drive assembly for driving an actuator, comprising:
- a drive device and a housing part connected to the drive device;
- at least one first plug-in element including either a pin-like or peg-like projection, or a bore-like socket formed on the drive device;
- and
- at least one second plug-in element corresponding to the at least one first plug-in element including either a bore-like socket or a pin-like or peg-like projection formed on the housing part;
- wherein the drive device is non-rotatably connected to the housing part via a plug-in connection formed by an interaction of the at least one first plug-in elements on the drive device and the at least one second plug-in elements on the housing part.
(canceled)
A drive assembly for a chain or hub gear shifter of a bicycle, the drive assembly comprising:
- a generally cylindrical drive device having an end surface and a drive shaft extending along a central axis thereof and beyond the end surface, the end surface defining a plurality of first surface features thereon;
- and
- a generally cylindrical housing having an interior receiving space configured to receive the drive shaft, the housing having an end surface defining a plurality of second surface features thereon configured to engage the first surface features to connect the drive device to the housing in a non-rotatable manner.
