Abstract

To simplify the design and assembly of an adjustment drive with a gear wheel mounted to rotate in a gear housing with a gear housing lid and with a driver provided with a power take-off element (e.g., a pinion) being in a drive connection with it on the output side, directly or indirectly, present invention provides that the driver is simultaneously structured as a power take-off shaft and is mounted to rotate with at least one bearing region in the gear housing or in the gear housing lid, respectively. In a further embodiment, the gear wheel is a one-piece component of the driver and is preferably placed into a drive connection with it via spring web type spokes in the form of tangential stop damping.
