Patent number: 9133919Abstract: At least a motor, a gear unit and an adjustment connection form an actuator. The gear unit is fitted with at least two mutually movable gear parts, as well as a spring acting on two of these that counteracts their movement out of an idle state. The gear unit is designed such that when an adjustment connection is blocked the motor moves the gear parts out of the idle state during operation to an operating point. In addition, the gear unit is designed such that during the movement out of the idle state it reduces the extent to which the movement is counteracted from a particular point upstream of the operating point.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Markus Bretz, Jörg Evertz, Jörg Hindermann, Andreas Pally, Martin Sprecher
