1. A drive arrangement, comprising:
at least one drive device, which is rotatable about a rotation axis, comprises at least one drive element and at least one retaining element, the at least one drive element being arranged offset in the radial direction in relation to the at least one retaining element, the at least one drive element comprising a longitudinal axis that extends parallel and offset in the radial direction to the rotation axis of the at least one drive device;
at least one output unit, which is rotatable or pivotable about an axis, the output unit comprising at least one drive recess and at least one retaining recess;
wherein the at least one drive element being associated with the at least one drive recess and engaging in the at least one drive recess in order to drive the output unit;
wherein the at least one retaining element being associated with the at least one retaining recess and engaging in the at least one retaining recess in order to hold the output unit in a set position;
wherein the at least one drive element having a cross section that is different from a circular cross section and that is curved at least in some sections, the drive arrangement comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of (1) the at least one drive element having a cross section reduced in the radial direction with respect to the rotation axis compared to a circular cross section and (2) the at least one drive recess widening in the radial direction in order to define an entry opening for the at least one drive element; and
wherein the rotation axis of the at least one drive device runs through the at least one retaining element.
