Abstract
An electric drive unit, for windshield wipers of a motor vehicle, including a drive motor, having an armature accommodated in a substantially cup-shaped pole housing, and including a gearbox, secured by a face end to the pole housing for receiving at least one worm, wheel supported on a power takeoff shaft. The worm wheel engages a worm connected to an armature shaft of the drive motor. The power takeoff shaft is supported in an eccentric bush which is rotatable to set the axial spacing between the armature shaft and the power takeoff shaft and can be mounted in the rotated state, in a manner fixed against relative rotation, in the gearbox. The eccentric bush is embodied in a graduated fashion, such that it has a larger diameter on a side toward the flange than on another side remote from the flange.
