A self-locking worm drive has an input and output shaft and a variable-angle outer casing. The casing (2) has a loose anchoring flange (12), allowing the input shaft (3) to be set at the desired angle. The flange can be at right angles to the output shaft and parallel to the input one, while part at least of it can protrude beyond the casing.
