Abstract

A double-acting drive for adjustment devices in motor vehicles comprises: a drive element which is turnable or rotatable in the one or the other direction about a drive axis; an output wheel which is connected to the adjustment device, is adjustable in its angle and comprises a rotationally symmetric inner wall; and a band-shaped coupling element, which is arranged in the force flow between the drive element and the output wheel, is braced with the rotationally symmetric inner wall of the output wheel and carries along the output wheel in circumferential direction if the drive element is moved from a starting position in the one or the other direction. The ends of the band-shaped coupling element overlap each other and form coupling levers which run secant-shaped on both sides of the drive axis and which are carried along by the drive element in dependence on the rotational direction of the drive element for expanding and bracing the band-shaped coupling element with the rotationally symmetric inner wall of the output wheel and which abut on support noses of the band-shaped coupling element, the support noses being arranged substantially perpendicular to the coupling levers.
