    摘要: A drive arrangement has a rotary driveshaft (1) bearing a drive finger (10) parallel and offset in the radial direction in relation to the axis of rotation and a locking device (11) offset radially with respect to the finger (10). The drive arrangement also has a coupling unit with a device in the shape of an arc which bears the drive or locking recesses disposed in alteration so as to enable relative rotation/prevent rotation between the unit and the driveshaft (1) when the finger (10) engages in one of the drive/locking recesses. The locking device (11) and the finger (10) are offset along the axis of rotation, and the coupling device has a part bearing the locking recesses and a part bearing the drive recesses, the two parts being positioned parallel and offset along the axis of rotation so as to be able to interact with the locking device (11) or the finger (10), respectively.
