    摘要: A drive cam follower operatively connected to an engine valve and a free cam follower capable of becoming free relative to the engine valve are adjacently disposed and adapted to impart in mutually different modes of operation in response to said engine valve rotation of a cam shaft. A connection change-over mechanism is provided between the cam followers and is capable of changing-over the interconnection and disconnection thereof, and resilient biasing means is provided between the free cam follower and the engine body for resiliently urging the free cam follower toward the cam shaft. The resilient biasing means comprises an urging piston slidably received in the engine body for abutment against the free cam follower, and a spring arrangement interposed between the urging piston and the engine body to resiliently bias the urging piston in a direction to abut against the free cam follower. The spring arrangement may comprise series-related springs having different spring constant with one of the springs having a non-linear load characteristic. A vent opening and a lubrication arrangement are provided to facilitate operation of the piston. The urging piston is provided, at its end closer to the free cam follower, with an abutment formed with a smaller diameter to abut against the free cam follower. This facilitates assembly of the resilient biasing means to the engine body, and makes it possible to dispose the resilient biasing means in proximity to a pivoting point of the free cam follower.

    摘要: A valve operating system for internal combustion engines comprises a free cam follower which is disposed between first and second drive cam followers operatively connected to engine valves and which is capable of becoming free relative to the engine valves, first and second guide holes respectively provided in the first and second drive cam followers with their axes corresponding to each other. The guide holes is opened to the free cam follower. A double open-ended guide hole is provided in the free cam follower in correspondence to the axes of the first and second guide holes. A first change-over pin is axially slidably received in the first guide hole and adapted to be fitted into the guide hole, and a second change-over pin is axially slidably received in said guide hole with one end thereof abutting against the first change-over pin, and is adapted to be fitted into said second guide hole. A restricting pin is axially slidably received in said second guide hole while being spring-biased toward said second change-over pin, with one end thereof abutting against the other end of said second change-over pin. This construction ensures that fitting of the first change-over pin into the guide hole as well as fitting of the second change-over pin into the second guide hole can be reliably performed.

    摘要: A material, and a process for producing same, for fabricating components of valve-actuating mechanisms of internal combustion engines, the material comprising an iron-base sintered alloy, which comprises, by weight: 2-7% Cr (chromium); 0.1-1.5% Mo (molybdenum); 0.5-7% W (tungsten); 0.1-3% V (vanadium); and 0.5-3% C (carbon). Upon being subjected to a slide-contact with another member, the material exhibits a high degree of abrasion resistance and at the same time is capable of effectively protecting the material of a member operatively cooperating therewith in slide-contact. The material is thus highly suitable for very frequent slide-contact with a cam member or the like.

    摘要: A non-circular cross-section coil spring, wherein a spring wire having a non-circular cross-section shape is coiled into such configuration that a major diameter of the cross-section is directed in the direction intersecting with a center line of the spring. Torsion is preliminarily given to at least a part of the spring wire so that the coil spring inner circumferential surface side of the above-mentioned major diameter may be deviated to a free end side of the spring with reference to the reference plane of extension and contraction of the coil spring in the case where the coil spring is a compression coil spring, but to the side of the aforementioned reference plane of extension and contraction in the case where the coil spring is a tension coil spring. In a coil spring comprising a larger pitch portion and a smaller pitch portion, a large angle of torsion is preliminarily given to the larger pitch portion and a small angle of torsion is preliminarily given to the smaller pitch portion. Upon application of a load, an angle of torsion of the spring wire becomes zero or nearly zero, thereby increase of the maximum shearing stress generated at the inner circumference of the coil spring can be suppressed, and also sharing stress in the spring wire can be made uniform.

    摘要: In a system for adjusting the tension of an endless transmitting belt in an internal combustion engine, a control system automatically adjusts the tension to be applied from a tensioner to the endless transmitting belt. The control system includes a driving-side rotational state detecting device for detecting the rotational state of a driving wheel which drives the endless transmitting belt. A driven-side rotational state detecting device detects the rotational state of a driven wheel driven by the endless transmitting belt. A control unit calculates a difference in rotational phase between the driving and driven wheels from results of detection by both rotational state detecting devices and controls the operation of a tension changing device in accordance with the difference in rotational phase. Thus, it is possible to accurately and quickly accommodate a very small variation in tension of the transmitting belt without specially using a strain gauge.

    摘要: In a toothed sintered pulley comprising a rim having a large number of teeth on its outer peripheral surface and lightening grooves at those portions of its inner peripheral surface which correspond to the individual teeth, a boss located radially inside of the rim, and a connection which connects the inner peripheral surface of the rim with an outer peripheral surface of the boss, the porosity of the rim is set larger than that of the boss. In addition, the connection is connected to axially intermediate portions of the inner peripheral surface of the rim, and lands are provided in a one-side half of the rim projecting from this connection in one of axial directions, so that each land is located between the two adjacent lightening grooves, with the radial thickness of the land being gradually increased from an outer end face of the one-side half toward the connection. This makes it possible to provide a toothed sintered pulley which is lightweight; in which any backlash noise due to meshing of the rim with a belt can be reduced, and the strength of the boss cannot be injured, and in which the rigidity of the one-side half in the rim is improved while suppressing the increase in weight thereof to the utmost.

    摘要: In carrying out a cast-in process, a cast-in insert member is placed into a cast forming cavity in a casting mold, and a casting is conducted. The cast-in insert member has a barrier layer on its non-deposited surface for inhibiting the deposition of a molten metal. During casting, a portion of a molten metal is introduced to a heating chamber on the side of the barrier layer to come into contact with the barrier layer. Thus, the cast-in insert member can be heated not only from the side of its deposited surface, but also from the side of its non-deposited surface, thereby providing an enhanced strength of deposition of the cast-in insert member.
