  • Valve drive for gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine, comprising a movable cam support and twin worm gear
    Patent number: 8365692
    Abstract: A valve drive assembly cooperable with gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine having a cam shaft and at least one came support rotatably fixed and axially displaceable on the cam shaft and having at least two cam profiles selectively engageable with a roller provided on a follower engageable with a valve comprising a cam support having a cylindrical surface disposed coaxially with a cam shaft, provided with a pair of oppositely inclined, spiral grooves; and means selectively insertable into the grooves, coacting with side walls of such grooves as the cam shaft rotates to effect axial displacement of the cam support.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 5, 2013
    Assignee: Audi AG
    Inventors: Dirk Schoeneberg, Joerg Wutzler, Holger Voges, Gero Bromme
  • Valve drive for gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine, comprising an axially movable bearing
    Patent number: 8297247
    Abstract: A valve drive assembly for selectively actuating a pair of valves of an internal combustion engine generally consisting of a pairs of cam supports rotatably fixed an axially displaceable on a camshaft, each provided with at least two cam profiles; means rotatably fixed and axially displaceable relative to the cam shaft, interposed between the cam supports; and means for selectively axially displacing the cam supports and the interposed means as a unit.
