    Abstract: A hydraulic lash adjuster having, in preferred embodiments, a body carrying a reciprocable plunger defining with a closed end of the body, a high pressure oil chamber from which oil may escape through a primary clearance between the plunger and body. Make up oil is fed from a low pressure chamber defined within the plunger. Thermal pump up of the lash adjuster is prevented by a control ring within the plunger which varies the leakdown path with oil temperature so that normal flow is attained at normal engine operating temperature and the clearance is increased to maintain adequate flow at cold engine starting and operating temperatures. In a first embodiment, the control ring forces the side wall of the plunger outward to reduce the primary clearance between the plunger and body. In a second embodiment, the control ring is loose in the plunger and controls a secondary clearance between the control ring and side wall of the plunger which allows higher flow at low temperatures and is reduced or eliminated at normal operating temperatures so that the primary clearance is controlling.

    Abstract: A valve drive of an internal combustion engine, includes a switching mechanism incorporated in a support element for support of a cam follower disposed in driving relationship between a camshaft and the gas exchange valve for switching a gas exchange valve to different valve lift curves in response to an operation of a cam arrangement, whereby the switching mechanism has a hollow cylindrical housing defining an axis and received within an enveloping outer casing, an inner element axially displaceable relative to the housing and so received within the housing as to form at their interface an annular gap, and a coupling mechanism movable in a radial direction in a first radial bore arrangement so as to couple the inner element with the housing in a base circle phase of the cam arrangement by bridging the annular gap to thereby maintain a contact of the cam follower upon the cam arrangement, and movable in a radial direction in a second bore arrangement which is spaced from the first radial bore arrangement in direction of the axis so as to effect a disengagement of the cam follower from the cam arrangement in a phase of maximum cam lift.

    Abstract: In a switchable cam follower (1) comprising an inner element (2) and an outer element (3), with said inner element (2) comprising a hydraulic clearance compensation device (10), a coupling of the two elements (2, 3) is effected by radially extending coupling means (4). These coupling means (4) and the clearance compensation device (10) which is integrated in the inner element (2) are loaded by hydraulic pressure from a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine through separate channels (9, 8). According to the invention, the spring means (5) for the coupling means (4) are configured so that from a hydraulic medium pressure from about 0.6 bars on (idling engine speed), the elements (2, 3) are uncoupled. When a switching engine speed, for example, 3,000 rpm, has been reached, the hydraulic pressure in the channel (9) is reduced to about 0.1 bars by a control valve (11). The coupling means (4) are displaced by the spring means (5) into a coupling position. The two elements (2, 3) are connected physically to each other. At the same time, unchoked hydraulic pressure continues to prevail in the channel (8) so that even with increasing speed of the internal combustion engine, the clearance compensation device (10) is optimally supplied with hydraulic pressure.

    Abstract: A valve lifter has a cam follower body with a closed end, or head from which depends concentric inner and outer cylinder surfaces. The inner cylinder surface defines a hollow cylinder having a first, closed end and a second, open end configured to receive a hydraulic lash adjuster, for engagement with the valve of an internal combustion engine. Additionally the inner and outer cylinder surfaces define laterally spaced recesses therebetween for receiving cam engaging rollers supported on transverse shafts extending therein. The shafts are supported at their radially outer ends in openings in the outer cylinder surface and at inner radial ends by abutment with the inner cylinder surface. The cantilevered shafts are thus supported against bending under loads applied by the rollers through the fixing of outer ends in the openings and through frictional interaction of the inner radial ends of the shaft against the inner cylindrical surface of the follower.

    Abstract: A valve train for internal combustion engines utilizing an inverted bucket tappet with a pivot structure operatively disposed between the tappet and the end of the valve stem allowing the valves to be angulated with respect to each other and to the axis of the cylinder in both the transversal and the horizontal planes of the engine. Accordingly on a multi-valve engine, the valves extend radially from the associated combustion chamber to open and increase space in the center of the cylinder head for spark plugs, injectors, or pre-combustion chambers and so that the combustion chamber can be designed with a hemispherical surface, with tangentially disposed valve heads. The construction allows the use of large valves in conjunction with stronger, better-cooled valve seats and bridges. The tappets can be actuated conventionally by direct-acting overhead camshafts or by rocker arms and "T" bridges.
