Abstract

The invention relates to a drive for adjustment devices in motor vehicles, more particularly for vehicle seats, having a stepped switch mechanism acting on both sides for manually producing a rotary movement. The object of the present invention is to provide a simplified and cost-effective device for adjusting the vehicle seat components in two directions. This is achieved by connecting the output side of the stepped switch mechanism to a self-blocking gear.
