Abstract:
A dual body rocker arm for controlling a valve of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine includes: a first body; a second body; and a latching arrangement moveable to latch and unlatch the first body and the second body. The latching arrangement includes: a latch pin moveable between a first position in which the latch pin latches the first body and the second body together and a second position in which the first body and the second body are un-latched; and a lever mounted for pivotal motion relative to the first body, a first end of the lever contacting the latch pin, and a second end of the lever configured to contact an actuation arrangement. In use, when the actuation arrangement exerts a force on the second end of the lever, the lever pivots such that the first end of the lever exerts a force on the latch pin.
