Abstract

A number of variations may include a clutch apparatus having at least one clutch and having an actuating device for actuating the clutch, the actuating device being movable from an opening position, in which the clutch is open, into a closing position, in which the clutch is closed. The actuating device can be locked with form-fit action in the closing position or opening position.
