Abstract (en)

In a valve operating system for an internal combustion engine having a rocker arm 12 permitting alteration of lift timing of valve 1 by shifting the rocking fulcrum, a roller for attaining a rolling contact is provided at least at one of the contacting positions on the driving force-delivering way between a cam for providing a driving force and a valve. Thus, a force necessary for driving the cam can be reduced even with a multi-cylinder internal combustion. In addition, one contact surface on the driving force-delivering way is made a circular surface with the center of the shaft 8 of the cam 9 as its center. In altering the relation between the valve-lifting degree and lift timing, the rocking fulcrum 15C of the second rocker arm 12 is properly shifted in the direction shown by the arrow A or B. The above-described circular surface serves for the rocker arm 6 not to be shifted upon alteration described above. An increase in surface-to-surface pressure per unit area at the contact surface can be avoided by employing such structure that the cam 9 and the second rocker arm do not axially deviate from each other. Employment of a mechanically strong mechanism using gears or the like as a mechanism for controlling the position of said rocking fulcrum 15C. <IMAGE>
