Abstract
The invention relates to an adjustment device for producing a rotational movement that comprises an output element (3) that can be adjusted at an angle by actuating a drive element (2). The adjustment device further comprises a load moment lock (1) interposed between the drive and the output element (2, 3) that frictionally blocks a rotational movement initiated at the output element side and that transmits a rotational movement initiated at the drive element side to the output element (3). Said load moment lock (1) further comprises locking elements (4, 4′) that are disposed in a cylindrical adjustment housing (10). Upon the effect of a play-compensating device (5) that is at least partially interposed between opposite adjusting surfaces (41, 41′) of the locking elements (4, 4′) and that compensates the rotational angle play between the drive element (2), the output element (3) and the load moment lock (1), the clamping surfaces (43, 43′, 43″, 43′″) are forced apart with such a force that they rest against the adjustment housing (10) with a predetermined pre-load. The adjustment device is provided with a play-compensating device (5) that f…
