Abstract: A liquid flow rate control valve is provided in which since a total area of overlapping sections of a communication hole group (38c, 38d) of a distributor (38) and an outlet opening (37a, 37b) of a sleeve (37) changes when the distributor (38) is rotated by a first electric motor (46), if a rotor (42) is rotated by means of a second electric motor (47), an input port (31e) communicates with an output port (31f) through an inlet opening (42c, 42d) of the rotor (42), the communication hole group (38c, 38d) of the distributor (38), and the outlet opening (37a, 37b) of the sleeve (37) when the inlet opening (42c, 42d) of the rotor (42) passes through the overlapping sections, thereby making it possible to carry out PWM control of a flow rate of liquid. Since a thrust load in an axis (L) direction does not act on the distributor (38) and the rotor (42), supporting the distributor (38) and the rotor (42) becomes easy, thereby enabling the cost and weight to be cut.

Abstract: A valve train of an internal combustion engine has rocker arms which are spherically supported on lash adjusters and camshafts disposed above the rocker arms. The camshafts are rotatably supported on a cam holder including a lower cam holder which is fastened to a cylinder head and an upper cam holder. Projections for preventing the fall of the rocker arms in axial directions of the camshafts through the contact with the rocker arms are provided on bearing portions and partitioning portions which are integrally formed on the lower cam holder in such a manner as to face both sides in the axial direction of the rocker arms.

Abstract: A unit injector mounted to a cylinder head in a diesel engine includes a pump section and a nozzle section which are eccentrically connected to each other through a connecting portion. An axis of the nozzle section is disposed in alignment with an axis of a cylinder, and an axis is of the nozzle section disposed on the opposite side of a pair of intake valves from the axis of the nozzle section. A rocker arm for transmitting the rotation of an exhaust cam shaft to the pump section is pivotally carried at its intermediate portion on a rocker shaft supported above the nozzle section. Thus, it is possible to provide a reduction in size of the cylinder head, while maintaining the spray of a fuel into a cylinder uniform, by an improved layout of the unit injector in the cylinder head.

Abstract: An SOHC-type valve operating system in an internal combustion engine having a single cam shaft commonly provided for a pair of intake valves and a pair of exhaust valves. A plurality of intake valve driving members are rockably disposed between the cam shaft and the pair of intake valves and have an operative-connection switchover mechanism for switching over the connection and disconnection of the intake valve driving members. A pair of exhaust valve driving members are rockably disposed between the cam shaft and the pair of exhaust valves and independently operate each of the exhaust valves. The operative-connection switchover mechanism includes a switchover pin movable between a position for operatively connecting adjacent intake valve driving members and a position for releasing such connection, which pin is slidably mounted in a cylindrical sleeve secured to the intake valve driving members for guiding the movement of the switchover pin.
