Claim:
1. A device for driving actuators for a thrust reverser comprising: a casing, a motor shaft adapted to be connected to a flexible drive shaft of the actuators, the motor shaft being rotatably mounted relative to the casing, a power drive unit comprising a motor adapted to rotatably drive the motor shaft, a brake movable between a clamped configuration wherein the brake prevents rotation of the motor shaft and a loosened configuration wherein the brake allows rotation of the motor shaft, a manual drive unit, a clutch comprising a clutch part movable between an engaged position wherein the manual drive unit is engaged with the motor shaft to rotatably drive the motor shaft, and a disengaged position wherein the manual drive unit is not engaged with the motor shaft, and a control part actuatable by an operator, the control part being movable relative to the casing between a powered drive position and a manual drive position, displacement of the control part from the powered drive position to the manual drive position causing displacement of the clutch part towards the engaged position to engage the manual drive unit with the motor shaft, and displacement of the brake towards the loosened configuration to allow a rotary drive of the motor shaft by the manual drive unit.
