Abstract: The present invention relates to a variable valve operating device and makes it possible to inhibit friction during driving force transmission and provide high durability through the use of a compact configuration.A first roller 170, which comes into contact with a drive cam surface 124 of a camshaft 120, has a larger diameter than a second roller 172, which comes into contact with a slide surface 156 of a swing member 150. A coupling shaft 174 couples the first roller 170 to the second roller 172 so that the rollers 170, 172 can rotate independently. The slide surface 156 is curved toward the drive cam surface 124.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compact variable valve operating device that is capable of mechanically changing the operating characteristic of a valve. The rotation motion of a camshaft is input to the valve via a swing member. A slide surface is formed on the swing member. Intermediate members are positioned in contact with both the slide surface and drive cam surface. A support member for supporting the intermediate members is mounted on a control member. The control member can rotate in relation to the camshaft and is interlocked with a control shaft via rotation interlock mechanisms. When the control member rotates in coordination with the rotation of the control shaft, the intermediate members move along the drive cam surface and slide surface. The operating characteristic of the valve then changes in coordination with a positional change of the intermediate members.

Abstract: A two-step roller finger follower for shifting between high-lift and low-lift valve modes includes a body having side members defining coaxially disposed shaft orifices, a pallet end, a socket end, a slider arm aperture, and a latch pin channel. The socket end is mountable to a lash adjuster, and the pallet end is matable with a valve stem. A slider arm for engaging a high-lift cam lobe is disposed in the aperture, is pivotably mounted to the body, and includes a slider tip for engaging a latch pin having a nose section. A spool-shaped roller is adapted to follow the surface motion of low-lift cam lobes. The axis of the latch pin intersects a radius extension of the slider arm at an angle of less than 180° such that the latch pin is prevented from accidentally locking the slider arm in its lost-motion position.

Abstract: A rocker arm 1 includes an arm body 4 prepared from a single plate material by means of a press work. The arm body 4 includes a pair of parallel side walls 5 and a connecting wall 6 bridging between the opposite side walls 5 and also having a pivot support hole 7 defined at a location generally intermediate of the length of the arm body 4. A roller support pin for rotatably supporting a roller 10 for driving engagement with a cam is mounted on one ends 1a of the opposite side walls 5, while the opposite end 1b of the connecting wall 6 defines an overlapped structure 13 formed by bending an end overlap piece 12, extending integrally from a side edge of the connecting wall 6, backwardly to overlap the connecting wall 6. This overlapped structure 13 in turn defines an adjustment element 16 having a mounting hole 15 defined therein for adjustably receiving a valve driving member 14. The rocker arm 1 may be designed to be an end pivot type, in which case the adjustment element 16 is provided with a pivot member.

Abstract: In order to improver a response of a rocker arm by reducing a moment of inertia of the rocker arm around a pivot portion thereof, the invention provides a rocker arm comprises a metal-plate-made rocker arm main body including a pivot portion and a valve stem guide portion respectively formed in the longitudinal-direction two end portions thereof. In the provided rocker arm, the center-of-gravity position of the rocker arm main body is set at a position shifted to the pivot portion side from the longitudinal-direction center thereof. Moreover, The clearance between a pair of opposing side wall portions formed in the valve stem guide portion is set narrow so that the center-of-gravity of the rocker arm main body can be set at a position shifted to the pivot portion side from the longitudinal-direction center thereof.

Abstract: When forces given in the processes of machining in the cross direction and machining for forming a groove are adjusted and the machining is repeatedly conducted by a plurality of times, the valve engaging portion (10) is machined, and the metal flow (30) formed between the valve guide walls (28, 29) and the connecting wall (8) is prevented from being cut off. Therefore, the rigidity of the valve engaging portion (10) can be ensured, and the quality of the rocker arm (1) can be stabilized.

Abstract: A two-step roller finger follower including an elongate body having side walls defining coaxially disposed shaft orifices, a pallet end and a socket end interconnecting with the side walls to define a slider arm aperture, and a latch channel. The socket end is mountable to an hydraulic lash adjuster, and the pallet end is matable with a valve stem. A slider arm for engaging a high-lift cam lobe is disposed in the slider arm aperture and has a first end pivotably mounted to the pallet end of the body and the second end forming a slider tip for engaging an activation/deactivation latch. The latch is slidably disposed in the latch channel, and the latch has a nose section for selectively engaging the slider tip. A spool-shaped roller having first and second roller elements fixedly attached to the shaft is rotatably disposed in the shaft orifices, the roller being adapted to follow the surface motion of low-lift cam lobes. Preferably, the shaft is journalled in roller or needle bearings which extend between and through the first and second shaft orifices, being thus exposed to normal copious oil flow through the RFF.
