  • Patent number: 9464464
    Abstract: A drive unit for automotive applications, specifically for application with or in combination with a motor vehicle door lock, a housing (5), a motor (1) as well as an associated motor shaft (2), and with at least one spring element (6) generating an axial force at one end of the motor shaft (2), with the spring element (6) being located in at least one receptacle (7, 8) in the housing (5). In a top view, the spring element (6) has essentially a T-shaped design with an end plate (6a) and cantilevers (6b) on both sides, with the end plate (6a) acting upon the motor shaft (2), and at least the cantilevers (6b) being arranged in the receptacle (7, 8).
