Abstract
A piston rod-less linear drive () has a housing () with a longitudinal slot () having a moving force coupling member extending through it. The outer slot opening () is provided with at least one covering band (), which is fixed at an attachment section () on a longitudinal side () of the outer slot opening (). The covering band ( )) furthermore has a pivoting covering section (), which is provided with detent means (), which render possible a releasable detent function in a covering position covering the outer slot opening. Actuating means kinematically coupled with the force coupling member may act on the covering band in order to cause the detent locking action.
