| 20090025667 | VARIABLE VALVE LIFT APPARATUS - A variable valve lift apparatus includes an end lever; a variable lift body connected to the end lever, and rotatable around the end lever, a valve mounted on the variable lift body; and a low lift cam operable to open and close the valve. The variable lift body includes a high lift body, and a low lift body rotatable around the high lift body. A low lift connecting portion selectively connects the low lift body and the high lift body. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090090320 | VARIABLE VALVE LIFT APPARATUS - A variable valve lift apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include an outer part, an inner part disposed in the outer part and connected to a valve, a latching part that is disposed in the outer part and selectively connects the outer part and the inner part, a camshaft supplying torque, a low lift cam that is configured to the camshaft and selectively supplies torque to the inner part, and a high lift cam that is configured to the camshaft and supplies torque to the outer part. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090151669 | VARIABLE VALVE LIFT APPARATUS - A variable valve lift apparatus of an engine includes: a control shaft; a driving arm rotatable around the control shaft by a cam of a camshaft; a first rocker arm rotatable around the control shaft, that is operated by the driving arm so as to drive a first valve through a first swing arm; a second rocker arm rotatable around the control shaft, that is operated by the driving arm so as to drive a second valve through a second swing arm; and a mediating device rotatable around the control shaft, that transmits a movement of the driving arm to the first and second rocker arms. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090183703 | Continuous Variable Valve Lift Apparatus - The present invention relates to a continuously variable valve lift apparatus that includes an output cam driving unit for transmitting a rotation, an output cam that receives the rotation from the output cam driving unit and rotates about an axis at a predetermined angle, an output cam position controlling unit for controlling the axis of rotation of the output cam, and a valve opening unit that is operated by the output cam. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100139589 | Variable Valve Lift Apparatus - A variable valve lift apparatus may include an inner body of which an end is pivotally connected to an anchor, an outer body of which an end is pivotally connected to the anchor, a roller finger follower of which an end is pivotally connected to a hydraulic lash adjuster, wherein a portion of the roller finger follower is pivotally connected to the outer body, a valve disposed to the other end of the roller finger follower, and a connecting unit selectively connecting the inner body and the outer body. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090255496 | CONTINUOUS VARIABLE VALVE LIFT DEVICE - A continuous variable valve lift device includes a valve, which opens/closes a channel by means of reciprocation, a control shaft, which is mounted so as to be able to move toward or away from a reciprocation central axis of the valve, a pivotable shoe, which is pivotably coupled to the control shaft, includes a cam insertion part in a recess or through-hole shape and a slide face slidably contacting an end of the valve, and reciprocates the valve when pivoted, and a drive cam, which comes into contact with an inner wall of the cam insertion part, and pivots the pivotable shoe. Thereby, the continuous variable valve lift device can freely adjust a lift amount and a lift time of the valve without changing positions of the drive cam and camshaft, and thus be easily applied to an existing engine. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100012064 | Valve lifter and surface treatment method thereof - The present invention provides a valve lifter, including a buffer layer, a Me diamond-like carbon layer having a thickness of 0.3˜0.6 μm, and a diamond-like carbon layer having a thickness of 1˜1.5 μm and a SP3 bonding fraction of 60˜70%, which are sequentially formed on a base body which is subjected to carbonitriding treatment. The valve lifter can exhibit superior low-friction characteristics and wear resistance. | 01-21-2010 |
