Abstract: A variable valve actuation mechanism is provided for an internal combustion engine including at least one valve for control of gas admission to a cylinder of the engine and/or gas exhaust from the cylinder. The mechanism includes two concentrically arranged camshafts, a cam set comprising two cams, each fixed to a respective of the camshafts, whereby the camshafts are arranged to be turned in relation to each other, so as to change the combined profile of the cams, and a cam follower adapted to follow the combined profile of the cams and to actuate at least one of the at least one valve in dependence on the combined profile of the cams, wherein the cam follower includes two rollers, each roller being adapted to follow a respective one of the cams.

Abstract: An exhaust valve mechanism for an internal combustion engine with at least one exhaust valve in every engine cylinder includes a main rocker arm mounted on a rocker arm shaft and a secondary rocker arm arranged on the main rocker arm and mounted on the rocker arm shaft for the activation of an exhaust brake function. A spring device is so arranged as to act between a fixed point on the engine and the secondary rocker arm, in such a way that the latter rocker arm is caused by the spring force to engage with the cam element of the camshaft.
