Abstract:
An infinitely operating two-way adjusting device comprising:a drive element;an output element, that is adjustable in angle in one or other rotary direction during rotary movement of the drive element; anda stepped switching mechanism mounted between the drive and the output elements;wherein the stepped switching mechanism contains a coupling device in force-locking engagement with the output element during operation of the drive element and a brake device which blocks the coupling device with force-locking engagement, when the drive element is resting or when torque is introduced on the output side;wherein the coupling device has a drive spring in active connection with the drive element, and which during operation of the drive element is connected in force-locking engagement with an entrainment member of the coupling device and transfers a rotary movement of the drive element (1) to the entrainment member; andwherein the brake device has a brake spring connected in keyed engagement with the entrainment member and the output element and, when the drive element is resting or in the event of torque on the output side, is supported with force-locking engagement on a locally fixed housing of the adjusting device.
