    Abstract: An internal combustion engine incorporating rest cylinders is provided which does not need a high response performance when operating a throttle valve and which can eliminate engine output variations as the number of operable cylinders changes. In the internal combustion engine, some of a plurality of cylinders is configured to rest during normal operation of the engine. The cylinders are divided into a plurality of cylinder groups, and each of the cylinders is provided with an independent throttle valve. An ECU for increasing the number of operative cylinder groups according to at least the throttle handgrip opening is provided. Also provided are motors for bringing the throttle valves in the cylinder in the rest state into a fully closed state on the basis of each cylinder group, a throttle valve position sensor, and the like.

    Abstract: To provide an internal combustion engine that can generate a strong swirl by increasing the amount of intake air for generating the swirl in a simple structure. In the internal combustion engine provided with a cylinder head formed with an air intake port having first and second ports, when a second intake valve for opening and closing the second port is brought into a halted state by a valve halting mechanism, a swirl is generated by intake air flowing through the first port in a combustion chamber. At a first inlet slot, the line of intersection between a first plane, which is a plan including the first inlet slot and a first orthogonal plane inclines upwardly as it approaches from the position near the outer periphery of the combustion chamber towards a second reference plane, and the first port includes a port section having a passage shape which extends substantially along a perpendicular line orthogonal to a first plane from the first inlet slot towards the upstream by a predetermined length of the passage in a plan view.

    Abstract: A valve pause mechanism of a four-stroke internal combustion engine includes a valve pause mechanism. A valve lifter fitted between a valve cam and a valve stem of a poppet valve is always pressed in a direction in which the valve lifter contacts the valve cam with a lifter spring. However, a slide pin is fitted into a slide pin holder fitted in the valve lifter so that a slide pin can slide in a direction perpendicular to the valve stem. A stem working face in contact with the valve stem of the poppet valve and a stem through hole that the valve stem pierces are both adjacently formed in the slide pin and a slide pin driving mechanism. The slide pin driving mechanism selectively makes the stem working face and the stem through hole face the valve stem by moving the slide pin. A side of the slide pin at the back of the stem working face is chamfered across the stem through hole. A plane perpendicular to the central axis of the stem through hole is formed in a chamfered part and its both ends in a direction of the central axis of the slide pin continue to the peripheral surface of the slide pin in a smooth curve. The aforementioned arrangement provides a valve pause mechanism with a durable, relatively light slide pin.
