  • Patent number: 7621242
    Abstract: The present invention provides a variable valve operating mechanism which includes two valve operating members for opening and closing two valves individually, a drive cam provided on a single camshaft, two swing arms for transmitting a power of the drive cam to the valve operating members individually by swinging about a different axis to the camshaft, and a variable device for modifying a displacement of the swing arm per rotation of the drive cam in accordance with an operating condition of an internal combustion engine. The variable device includes a single control shaft, an actuator for driving the control shaft, and a cam device that operates in conjunction with the control shaft to dissimilate the displacement of the two swing arms.

  • Patent number: 4500099
    Abstract: An elastic supporting and sealing member, for mutually supporting a first body and a second body, and for sealing the gap between the first body and the second body, includes a first portion and a second portion of wire net and a piece of thermal foaming material, between the first and the second wire net portion, which expands and foams when it is heated up. A method of making such a member includes the steps of flattening a tubular shaped piece of wire net, and of introducing a strip shaped piece of such thermal foaming material between the two sides of the flattened tube of wire net, so that the longitudinal directions of the strip shaped piece of thermal foaming material and of the flattened wire net tube substantially coincide.

  • Patent number: 4192263
    Abstract: A valve drive device for an internal combustion engine characterized in a movably pivoted rocker arm, at either a cam-contacting part or a valve stem-contacting part thereof, having installed therein a built-in oil pressure tappet for automatically absorbing a gap created at such contacting part. Between the oil pressure tappet and the cam or the valve stem, in contact with the oil pressure tappet, a movable plate is provided, having a curved surface where the movable plate and/or the oil pressure tappet contact each other, thereby lubricating the contacting part to prevent its abrasion.
