Abstract: To provide a valve system for an engine, in which a rocker arm is interlocked with an engine valve and is supported on a rocker shaft fixedly mounted to a cylinder head such that it is rockable with the rotation of a camshaft. Accordingly, the size and weight of the engine can be reduced. The posture of a rocker shaft is set to have an axial line crossing an axial line of a crankshaft on the projection plane perpendicular to an axial line of a cylinder bore. A rocker arm is rockably supported by the rocker shaft and is provided with an input arm extending, on the above projection plane, from the rocker arm to the camshaft side. A pull rod reciprocates in the axial direction with the rotation of the camshaft and is connected to the input arm.

Abstract: The invention proposes a lever-type cam follower (1) which, for mounting a pin (7) for a cam roller, comprises bores (5, 6) in the region of its side walls (2, 3). The diameter of the bore (5) is larger than the diameter of the bore (6). Corresponding ends (8, 9) of the pin (7) are configured so that when mounted, the pin (7) is fixed in the bores (5, 6) by a press fit. Thus, the pin (7) can be inserted with its second end (8) at first through the larger bore (5) without causing damage to its raceway (8a) during assembly. At the same time, the press fit guarantees an excellent fixture of the pin (7) in the cam follower (1) with an all-round contact.

Abstract: A push rod ball has an exteriorly oriented wear surface surrounding an interior core. The interior core is composed of a steel or steel alloy containing between about 0.1% and about 0.2% by weight carbon. A hardened case layer is of an essentially uniform depth is located between the exterior surface and the inner core. The push rod ball has a cylindrical throughbore transiting its diameter. A central through bore diametrically bisects the spherical metal body forming the push rod ball. The bore is bounded by a cylindrical inner wall composed of metal of the central core and the hardened case regions of the metal body. The push rod ball can be positioned on a suitable push rod shaft to provide a push rod assembly in which the weld region connecting shaft to ball extends through the hardened case region into the central core of the push rod ball.

Abstract: A valve actuator for an engine includes a pivot socket having a dome with an improved lubrication passage. The actuator may be a finger follower with a body having spaced side walls connected adjacent opposite ends by first and second transverse webs. A cam follower, preferably a roller, having a cam engaging surface is supported on the side walls between the opposite ends of the body. The first web is engagable with a valve while the second web has a pivot socket with a dome having a generally spherical lower recess for engaging a pivot and a domed upper surface adjacent to the follower cam engaging surface. A lubrication passage extends through the dome from the lower recess to the upper surface. The passage includes an inverted inner channel formed in the recess and having upwardly converging sides meeting at a peak, and a connecting outer channel formed in the domed upper surface and having downwardly converging sides meeting at a valley. The peak and the valley are connected at adjoining ends of the inner and outer channels to form a restricting opening. The opening has an upper edge formed by the peak and a lower edge formed by the valley and connects the channels to form the lubrication passage. The passage is formed by oppositely moving dies that form the inner and outer channels and overlap at adjoining ends to form the opening without leaving a slug. A final sizing step is preferably included to finish the opening.

Abstract: The invention provides a rocker arm and a method of making it having a cold formed steel body including parallel side walls and a bearing housing in the form of a sleeve attached to the side walls and defining a through opening to receive needle bearings. The sleeve has surfaces resistant to gas hardening so that after the arm has been subject to gas hardening only the main body is hardened leaving the sleeve unaffected. A method of making the rocker arm according to the invention includes preparing a sleeve having a surface which is resistant to gas hardening and which is unaffected by brazing temperatures; attaching the sleeve to the arm by brazing; and gas hardening the completed arm at a temperature less than the brazing temperature.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a push rod (10) for a brake booster. The push rod (10) has a stem (12) connected to a head (14). Head (14) is formed from a blank (30) by first machining an axial cavity (36) in an end 34 in a cylindrical body and then fine blanking an axial projection (46) on the other end (32). Thereafter, the depth of the cavity (36) is finalized and an opening (52) drilled along the central axis of the blank (30) to produce the head (14). On insertion of the stem (12) in the opening (52) the push rod (10) is produced.
