Abstract
The object of the present invention is a drive unit for a motor vehicle component with an electromotor () and a rotatable output element (). Furthermore, a blocking element (), which can be acted on by an actuator (), is provided for interacting with a protrusion () on the output element (). According to the invention, the protrusion () detaches the blocking element () from a stop () at the start of a rotational movement of the output element (). Thus, the blocking element () is transferred into a blocking position with the aid of the actuator () in which the blocking element () blocks a rotation of the output element () beyond a specified point.
