Abstract: The invention is a valve deactivator assembly (15) for use in connection with a valve train of an internal combustion engine. In application, a pre-selected number of the engine cylinders would each be equipped with a deactivator connected to its intake engine valve. Upon driver selection or predetermined road conditions, sufficient lost motion would be introduced into the valve train so that the valve would remain closed and the cylinder deactivated as the engine is in operation. The deactivator has in its inner body (19) a latch assembly that is in a latched condition for normal operation of the valve train. When it is desired to retain the valve in the closed position and deactivate a cylinder, the latch assembly is caused to be moved to the unlatched condition by increase in the pressure of the engine oil. When the latch assembly is unlatched, significant lost motion is introduced into the valve train causing the valve to remain closed and the cylinder is deactivated.

Abstract: A roller finger follower (RFF) wherein the shaft of the roller bearing is restrained in the follower finger by the overhead cam. Ends of the shaft are positioned in place in the follower finger by notches formed in the side walls of the follower finger. The notches restrain the shaft from axial movement. The cam in position over the RFF keeps the shaft nested in the notches. Further restraining means are disclosed to keep the shaft loosely nested in the notches in the follower finger before the cam is installed in position.

Abstract: A valve control system including a valve actuating camshaft (A), having a high lift cam (B) and a low lift cam (C), and an outer rocker arm (2) engaging the high lift cam, and an inner rocker arm (3) engaging the low lift cam. The ends of the rocker arms adjacent the engine poppet valve (V) are fixed to each other by a connector pin (37). The system includes a latching mechanism disposed at the ends of the rocker arms opposite the connector pin (37). Latching of the rocker arms is accomplished by a compound pin (8) moved between latched (FIG. 14A) and unlatched (FIG. 14B) conditions in response to movement of an actuator (9). The system also includes a rocker ratio varying device, such that, during operation in the low lift mode, the lift can be gradually increased, and gradually phase-shifted, as the engine speed increases.

Abstract: In a valve operating system in an internal combustion engine, a swinging support section provided at a base end of a rocker arm is swingably carried on a rocker shaft mounted in a cylinder head. A plurality of valve abutments are provided at a tip end of the rocker arm and capable of being individually put into abutment against upper ends of a plurality of engine valves, and a cam abutment is provided on the rocker arm in an intermediate portion between the swinging support section and each of the valve abutments to come into contact with a valve operating cam. The swinging support section comprises a thinner cylindrical portion surrounding the rocker shaft, and thicker cylindrical portions which are formed at a thickness larger than that of the thinner cylindrical portion into a cylindrical shape to surround the rocker shaft and which are integrally and continuously provided at axially opposite ends of the thinner cylindrical portion, respectively. Thus, it is possible to enhance the durability of the rocker arm, while avoiding an increase in weight of the rocker arm.

Abstract: A rocker arm (10) that reduces frictional forces between a cam (86) and the rocker arm (10) is disclosed. The rocker arm (10) includes a pair of spaced side members (20) having a valve portion (14), a middle portion (16), and a pivot portion (12). The side members (20) of rocker arm (10) each define a downwardly extending tappet hole (49) located generally centrally within the valve portion (14). The middle portion (16) of each side member (20) defines a bearing hole (68), and each of the pivot portions (12) defines a pivot hole (66). A web (70) extends between side members (20) at a valve portion (14) and at the pivot portion (12), defining a recess (85) therebetween at about the middle portion (16). A pin bearing is located within the bearing holes (68) and passes through the recess (85). An annular striking member (80) is located within the recess (85) and rotatably engages the pin bearing (69). During operation, a cam (86) is placed in operative contact with striking member (80). Rotation of cam (86) depresses striking member (80) and, in turn, rocker arm (10), while frictional forces from the cam cause the striking member (80) to rotate.

Abstract: A device for actuating at least one load change valve of an internal combustion engine has at least one load change valve arranged in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine wherein the load change valve has a valve shaft and a closing spring forcing the valve shaft into a closed position. A camshaft having cams is provided. Its axis of rotation is arranged such that it extends perpendicularly to a travel direction of the valve shaft. A transmission arrangement is positioned so as to be movable parallel to the travel direction of the valve shaft. It has a transverse member positioned between the camshaft and the valve shaft parallel to the camshaft and also has rollers positioned on the transverse member on opposite sides of the valve shaft. Each roller cooperates with one of the cams having identical contours. The cam movement of the cams is transmitted by the rollers onto the transverse member performing a linear movement, and the linear movement of the transverse member is transmitted onto the valve shaft. The transmission arrangement also has slides connected to opposed ends of the transverse member. The slides are moveably guided parallel to the travel direction of the valve shaft in the cylinder head.
