  • Patent number: 6460498
    Abstract: It is aimed to prolong the life of a rocker arm in which rollers are housed in a full type form between a ring and a pin from a viewpoint completely different from the idea of improving the material. It is proposed to suitably control the relation between clearances in circumferential and radial directions for the rollers housed in a roller housing space formed between the outer peripheral surface of the pin and the inner peripheral surface of the ring.
