20090013950 | DUAL VALVE LIFTER ASSEMBLY - The dual valve lifter assembly has a dual valve lift with two hydraulic lash adjusters therein and a guide for orienting and preventing rotation of the dual valve lifter. The guide has four ledges and the dual valve lifter has four flats which mate with the four ledges. The flats and the ledges prevent the rotation of the lifter. One pair of flats and one pair of ledges are spaced the same while the other pair of flats and the other pair of ledges are spaced at a different distance than the first pair of flats and ledges. The difference in the spacing of the pairs of ledges and flats allows for correct orientation of the lifter when mating it with the guide. | 01-15-2009 |
20090031969 | FREELY ROTATABLE HYDRAULIC PIVOT ELEMENT - The freely rotatable hydraulic pivot element for an internal combustion engine has four oil inlets which are in fluid communication with the lash adjusting element inside the pivot element and in fluid communication with the oil gallery by using four more equally spaced oil inlets in the outer housing of the cylinder head while still in fluid communication therein. The use of four or more oil inlets are in the same radial plane of the outside cylindrical housing of the pivot element. | 02-05-2009 |
20090031977 | LOW PROFILE VALVE LIFTER ASSEMBLY - The low profile valve lifter assembly has flats inside the bore of the outer housing and walls are formed and extended down from the plate of the guide such that the walls align with the flats of the bore to prevent rotation of the lifter with the guide. A groove and protuberance are provided in the flats and on the side wall of the guide in order to properly orient the lifter with the guide. The flats can be connected to form a pocket and the walls of the guide can be connected to form a sleeve that mates with the pocket. | 02-05-2009 |

20110126787 | SWITCHABLE ROLLER FINGER FOLLOWER - The finger follower employs two independent lost motion arms and a rod which moves longitudinally to lock both arms. The rod is transversely mounted in the follower. In order to avoid premature locking, a clip is employed with tabs that interact with end surfaces of the arms so as to prevent premature movement of the rod from an unlocked position to a locked position. | 06-02-2011 |
20120060782 | ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRATED SUPPORT PIN ANTI-INVERSION FEATURE - A rocker arm assembly which has an anti-inversion part that prevents a support pin from inverting and, thus, ensuring proper orientation of the support pin, on which a rocker arm is rotatably mounted, is maintained. The anti-inversion part can be incorporated on the support pin, the inner sleeve or the outer sleeve and/or a combination of the support pin, the inner sleeve and/or the outer sleeve. | 03-15-2012 |
20140109851 | MOUNTING OF A CAMSHAFT - Reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine having a crank mechanism, with at least one cylinder head, the intake and exhaust ducts of which are controlled by in each case at least one gas exchange valve which is configured as an intake or exhaust valve, which gas exchange valves can be actuated by cams of at least one camshaft and by transmission elements which are driven by said cams, wherein the cams are configured as sliding cams with at least two cams per sliding cam unit, which sliding cams are arranged via internal splining on an externally splined basic shaft such that they are fixed so as to rotate with it but can be displaced axially, at least one device which is fixed to the internal combustion engine for displacing the sliding cam unit into different axial positions via displacement grooves on the circumference of the sliding cam unit which interact with an actuator pin, and bearings for fixing the camshaft radially and axially on a component of the internal combustion engine, wherein the basic shaft is guided by bearings on the component of the internal combustion engine. | 04-24-2014 |
