A lifter structure includes a cylindrical member configured to be reciprocally slid in a guide hole of a lifter guide according to rotation of a cam and having an engagement groove and a rotation-preventing member which is separate from the cylindrical member and is disposed so as to face an interior of the guide hole. The rotation-preventing member is inserted into the engagement groove to abut against a groove edge of the engagement groove in a rotation direction of the cylindrical member, thereby preventing the cylindrical member from rotation in the guide hole.
