Abstract
A forward and rearward indexible stepping mechanism, for instance for a multi-position switch, which is arranged within a housing and has a one-piece drive which can be brought into engagement with a rotatably arranged pinion by means of a linear work movement. At the drive there is provided a flexible latching element which connects two plungers in a bridge-like fashion, so that a latching cam arrangement formed at the latching element engages at the pinion.
