Abstract

Infinitely operating two-way adjusting device having a rive element 1, an output element 2 adjustable in angle by operating the drive element 1, and a stepped switching mechanism mounted between the drive and output elements 1, 2 which contains a fixing device which when the adjusted position is reached by operating the drive element 1 blocks rotation of the output element 2 opposite the direction of rotation of the drive element 1. The infinite stepped switching mechanism has a coupling device 5, 6 which is connected to the output element and during operation of the drive element 1 can be connected in force-locking engagement with same, and has a brake device 3, 7 which when the drive element 1 is resting blocks the coupling element 5, 6 with force-locking engagement.
