Abstract: A deactivation valve lifter includes a lifter body. The body defines at least one annular pin chamber therein. The lifter body has a first end configured for engaging a cam of an engine. A pin housing includes a pin housing wall and pin housing bottom. The pin housing wall includes an outer surface. The pin housing bottom defines a radially directed pin bore. The pin housing is concentrically disposed within the lifter body such that the outer surface of the pin housing wall is adjacent to at least a portion of an inner wall of the lifter body. A deactivation pin assembly is disposed within the pin bore and includes pin members. A portion of each pin member is disposed within the annular pin chamber to thereby couple the lifter body to the pin housing. An external lost motion spring is coupled to the body and pin housing.

Abstract: A deactivation hydraulic valve lifter includes an elongate lifter body having a substantially cylindrical inner wall. The inner wall defines at least one annular pin chamber therein. The lifter body has a first end configured for engaging a cam of an engine. An elongate pin housing includes a substantially cylindrical pin housing wall and pin housing bottom. The pin housing wall includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The pin housing bottom defines a radially directed pin bore therethrough. The pin housing is concentrically disposed within the inner wall of the lifter body such that the outer surface of the pin housing wall is adjacent to at least a portion of the inner wall of the lifter body. A deactivation pin assembly is disposed within the pin bore and includes two pin members. The pin members are biased radially outward relative to each other. A portion of each pin member is disposed within the annular pin chamber to thereby couple the lifter body to the pin housing. The pin members are configured for moving toward each other when the pin chamber is pressurized, thereby retracting the pin members from within the annular pin chamber and decoupling the lifter body from the pin housing.

Abstract: The electromagnetic valve actuator of the preferred embodiments include a valve head that moves between an open position, a middle position, and a closed position; a plunger coupled to the valve head; and a housing defining a cavity that surrounds the plunger and contains a fluid. The cavity cooperates with the plunger and the fluid to provide increasing resistance as the valve head moves from the middle position to the closed position. Because of the increased resistance, the valve head softly seats against a valve seat, which minimizes noise, vibration, and harshness within the vehicle.

Abstract: A mechanical oil filtration and oil flow re-direction system for a hydraulically actuated valve lifter. Pressurized oil is directed to the lifter through a series of controlled clearance passages prior to gaining access to the internal cavity of the lifter. Once inside the lifter, the oil is deflected off of an insert that directs the oil towards the upper end of the lifter and the push rod seat. The oil flow is then directed downwards into an oil deflector supply hole and into the internal cavity of the lifter and the chamber containing the lifter check ball and seat. In use, the system restricts particulates from the lifter, and re-directs particulates that do access the lifter to pre-determined locations within the lifter to minimize operational impairment of the lifter from particulate contamination.

Abstract: A control device for switching an intake or exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine has a control valve with a control valve piston for controlling flow of a hydraulic medium from a pressure line to the intake or exhaust valve. At least one actuating element is correlated with the intake or exhaust valve and has a first end acted on by the hydraulic medium. At least one damping device interacts with the at least one actuating element and is arranged at a second end of the actuating element opposite the first end.

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: A valve timing gear of an internal-combustion engine is provided, in the case of which a camshaft acts by a timing cam upon a valve by way of a tappet whose cam-side contact path can be changed by a control device for changing the valve opening period. For achieving a small-sized control device, this control device comprises a slider rocker guided in the valve lifting direction by way of a first sliding hinge joint arranged on an engine section side and an additional sliding hinge joint provided on the tilting segment side, with a control opening penetrated with play by a timing-cam-free section of the camshaft. An element, which can be operated in a controlled manner, of an adjusting device is arranged in/on the camshaft, while rotating with it, and being applied such to the circumference of the control opening that the adjustable slider rocker, while the camshaft is rotating, carries out for each valve lift a periodic rocking movement which is used for forcibly controlling the tilting segment.

Abstract: A valve drive mechanism includes a generally cylindrically shaped tappet assembly (24) comprising a center tappet (41 ) and a side tappet (42). The center tappet (41 ) has a circular-arcuate side walls (41c) formed with vertical side shrouds (41d) at opposite sides of each side wall (41c) which overlap and slide contact with opposite end guide walls (42h) of the side tappet (42), respectively. When the tappet assembly (24) is in an unlocked state so as to transmit rotation of the side cams (25, 27), the vertical side shroud (41d) of the center tappet (41 ) slide on the vertical side walls (42h) of the side tappet 42 so as thereby to guide slide movement of the center tappet (41 ) relative to the side tappet (42).
