Abstract: A castellation assembly comprises a lost motion spring assembly, an upper castellation piece, and a lower castellation piece. A spring hat comprises a crown, a pin hole through the crown, and a brim. A lost motion spring is seated against the spring hat.
Upper castellation piece comprises a tubular body, an upper inner rim adjoining the brim, and upper castellation teeth. Lower castellation piece comprises a spring post extending up from a castellation body, the spring post passing through the lost motion spring, and through the pin hole. Lower castellation teeth extend from the castellation body. The lost motion spring is biased against the castellation body to lift the upper inner rim by the brim. A lash screw can house the spring post so that the spring post terminates inside the lash screw. A rocker arm is an example of a castellation assembly installation.-

Abstract: A latch assembly (500) can comprise a main latch pin assembly (531, 532) comprising a first diameter (D1) on a first main pin face (512, 522), and a secondary latch piston (541, 561) comprising a second diameter (D2) on a secondary piston face (543, 563). The secondary latch piston can be configured to selectively act on the main latching pin assembly. The main latch pin assembly can be biased to oppose the secondary latch piston. The first diameter can be greater than the second diameter. A rocker arm assembly (10) can comprise the latch assembly. A primary arm (100) can be configured to receive the main latch pin assembly. A secondary arm (300) can be configured to receive the secondary latch piston.

Abstract: Several devices are disclosed that can be usable together or used in other valvetrains. Disclosed herein are a rocker arm assembly, compliance capsules for a switchable capsule of the rocker arm, actuators, and support structures for the actuators. The alternative compliance capsules can be electromechanically actuated by the alternative actuators, which are hung over the rocker shaft by the support structure. A cam actuator can be in addition to an overhead cam rail and in addition to the rocker shaft. The cam actuator can be configured with a compliance capsule so that the switching of the switchable capsule is mechanically linked and less reliant on precise electrical signal timing.

Abstract: A castellation device comprises a shaft surrounded by three castellation members. A first castellation member is rotatably mounted on the shaft and comprises a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. A second castellation member is slidably mounted along the shaft adjacent the first end of the first castellation member. A third castellation member is mounted to the shaft adjacent the second end of the first castellation member. A bias spring is disposed between the second castellation member and the third castellation member and is configured to bias the second castellation member away from the third castellation member. Optionally, an annular shroud can enclose the three castellation members. The first castellation member is rotatable relative to the second and third castellation members between a first position and a second position.
