Abstract
A drive which operates on both sides for use in adjusting devices, such as motor vehicle seats, includes a drive lever, a drive wheel, and coupling elements. The pivotally mounted drive lever is for, starting from an initial position, effecting a turning movement in one direction or the other as desired. The drive wheel is turned when the drive lever is moved out of the initial position. The coupling elements are arranged on the drive lever and have coupling areas for transmitting a turning movement onto the drive wheel. In order to transmit a turning movement, the coupling element can be coupled to the drive wheel via at least one positive locking element and by at least one elastic element.
Claims17
A drive acting on both sides for adjusting devices, comprising:
- a rotatable drive wheel;
- a drive lever mounted to swivel starting from a zero position to generate rotary movement of the drive wheel wherein the rotary movement can proceed selectively into one or other direction of rotation;
- and
- at least one coupling element is mounted on the drive lever to transfer torque to the drive wheel when the drive lever is moved out of the zero position,
- wherein the at least one coupling element is coupleable to the drive wheel through at least one positive locking element and at least one associated elastic element by producing a positive locking coupling of the at least one positive locking element and the at least one associated elastic element.

- wherein the at least one coupling element is coupleable to the drive wheel through at least one positive locking element and at least one associated elastic element,
- wherein the at least one elastic element is mounted on the drive wheel and the at least one positive locking element is mounted on the at least one coupling element and when torque is introduced through the at least one coupling element the at least one positive locking element deforms the at least one elastic element forming a contour so that a positive locking coupling is produced between the at least one positive locking element and the elastic element in order to turn the drive wheel.
