Abstract: A switchable finger follower for a valve train of an internal combustion engine includes an outer and an inner lever, which at a first longitudinal end run pivotably relative to one another via respective bores on a common shaft. At this longitudinal end, the finger follower has a gas-exchange valve contact face on an underside. The outer lever has a pivot bearing on the underside at a further longitudinal end, and at least the inner lever has a cam running face on an upper side. The inner and outer levers are connectable to one another via at least one coupling slide, which spans a separation area between the levers. The outer and inner levers are braced relative to one another via a cam return spring, and the shaft is connected to the bore of the outer lever by an interference fit.

Abstract: A metering device for metered dispensing of granular material from a hopper bottom storage bin. The device features a metering housing having a housing inlet for receiving said granular material from a hopper outlet of the storage bin, and a housing outlet from which the granular material is dispensable from the housing. A metering mechanism driven by an onboard motor is operable within the housing to dispense the granular material through the housing outlet in a metered fashion. A mounting arrangement is attachable to the storage bin in a position suspending the metering housing below the hopper outlet. The housing is movable into and out of a working position aligned under the hopper outlet, and can also be adjusted in tilt angle to achieve a properly leveled alignment in the working position.
