Abstract

The invention relates to miniature drives for use in automobile locks. A return of the mechanism once the lock is opened and the motor is shut down is prevented completely mechanically. For this purpose, the worm wheel is associated with a mechanically active locking element which allows first to slightly turn back the wheel to unlock and reduce the load on the mechanism, but then prevents any further rotation against the direction of drive.
