  • Angular adjustment device
    Patent number: 6192843
    Abstract: A device for adjustment of the angular position of a shaft, preferably a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, relative to a driving wheel, comprising an adjusting device for adjustment of the angular position starting from a base position and comprising an arresting device for arresting the angular position in the base position is proposed. Between components (2, 3) capable of being respectively connected non-rotatably to the shaft and to the driving wheel, an interface (11) located eccentrically to the shaft and having a longitudinal extension running circumferentially of the shaft is provided.

  • Camshaft for multi-valve internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 5215048
    Abstract: A camshaft (16) is described for operating the primary and secondary inlet or exhaust valves (12) of an internal combustion engine having multiple valves in each cylinder, the camshaft having cams (18a, 18b) of substantially the same cam profile and phase for operating the primary and secondary valves of each cylinder. In accordance with the invention, in order to reduce valve train noise at least the trailing ramps of the cams (18a, 18b) are offset by between 1.degree. and 3.degree. relative to one another.
