Abstract

An eccentric gear drive has a drive mechanism with an eccentric element, an eccentric wheel with a set of teeth that is supported on the eccentric element, and a driver with another set of teeth. The teeth of the eccentric wheel and the teeth of the driver cooperate by meshing with one another in some portions. The eccentric wheel is rotatably connected to the eccentric element. The eccentric wheel also has guide elements which are guided directly or indirectly in a fixed housing cap.
