Abstract: A deactivating hydraulic valve mechanism includes a hydraulic element assembly disposed within cup within a pin housing slidably disposed within a bore in a body. A transverse bore in the pin housing contains selectively-retractable locking pins that engage a locking feature in the body to selectively lock together the body and the pin housing. A lost motion spring is disposed in a vented annular chamber between the body and the pin housing. An oil passage from an engine gallery to the hydraulic element assembly includes an axial component formed in the cup and bypasses the lost motion chamber. A ring holds the lifter assembly together and also sets mechanical lash. The ring may combine a standard-thickness ring and a shim selected to provided a predetermined amount of mechanical lash in the assembled mechanism to ensure facile engagement and disengagement of the locking pins in the body.

Abstract: In a variable phased valve lifter of an internal combustion engine, two or more roller lifter are allowed to move along constraining faces of a constraining mechanism in a first direction, and the constraining mechanism is allowed to move freely in a second direction. As the roller lifters move through their parallel arcuate paths, the engaging surface(s) of the roller lifters will engage with the constraining face(s) of the constraining mechanism, and each roller lifter will prevent the other from rotating about its longitudinal axis. The roller lifter is thus prevented from rotating about its longitudinal axis as it moves in arcuate fashion in cooperation with the constraining mechanism.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for varying valve lift in an internal combustion engine are disclosed. The apparatus include a rocker arm having an elongate aperture and a shaft configured to pass through the aperture. The height of the shaft with respect to the aperture is variable to effect different rocker arm ratios when in combination with a fixed fulcrum point. When the shaft is located in a lower position with respect to the aperture in the rocker arm, the rocker arm pivots around the rocker arm shaft producing full valve lift. Alternatively, when the rocker arm shaft is positioned at a height above the lower position, an upper surface of the rocker arm becomes engageable to varying degrees with the fixed fulcrum point, allowing the rocker arm to pivot around the fixed fulcrum point, thereby reducing the rocker arm ratio, and corresponding valve lift dependent on the rocker arm shaft position. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.
