Abstract

In a control mechanism with a switchable transmission path comprised of mechanism links mounted on a frame, and with a switching pinion gear, through which at least two mechanism links can be optionally incorporated in the transmission path for switching purposes, wherein the two mechanism links are moveably held on a mount of the frame via switching elements, and wherein the switching pinion gear acts through a switching path to select and/or engage or disengage one of the two mechanism links on the switching elements, the mount can encompass a bearing element that is arranged so that it can move relative to the frame, and comprises part of the switching path, and an insertion lockout can be securely fastened to the frame, and the switching elements can be secured to the mount by means of an axially divided bearing block.
