Arrangement for driving locking element for critical component, e.g. motor vehicle steering column or gear shift lever, has locking element contact surface that interacts with first contact surface to move locking element to position

摘要

The arrangement has a gearbox that interacts mechanically with the locking element (11), which can be moved into locking and unlocked positions. The gearbox has a control element (21) with a first contact surface (21a) that can be moved linearly between first and second positions. The locking element has a second contact surface (11a) that interacts with the first contact surface to move the locking element to its corresponding position.
