An adjustment mechanism includes two structural elements movable relative to one another, with a first structural element being formed with at least one row of substantially cycloidal teeth and with a second structural element including a drive element guided transversely to a direction of adjustment and formed with at least two driving pins capable of rolling over the teeth. The second structural element has at least one attack surface bearing upon an outer envelope of the drive element and is defined by a line of action extending through a line which is oriented essentially between axes of two driving pins engaging in tooth spaces between teeth and bearing upon a bottom land. In this manner, the drive element is pressed in each respective locked position with its driving pins into the bottom land by gravitational forces.

[ What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:] [3.] An adjustment mechanism, comprising:a first structural element formed with at least one row of teeth;a second structural element formed with a slanted planar attack surface which extends at an angle to the first structural element, said first and second structural elements being movable relative to one another in an operating direction; anda drive element formed with a plurality of driving pins capable of rolling over the teeth, said drive element being floatingly supported by the second structural element and movable between an extended locking position and a retracted position, said drive element having an outer surface area which bears upon the slanted attack surface of the second structural element during travel between the locking position and the retracted position such that a normal drawn perpendicular to the attack surface at a point of contact between the outer surface area of the drive element and the attack surface extends between two of the driving pins engaged in successive teeth of the first structural element.
