ABSTRACT:
An engine driven camshaft cam is driven in a manner to superimpose a variable oscillation on the cam as it is rotatably driven in order to vary the period during which an associated valve is opened, the drive including an engine driven gear or sprocket journalled in a block whose axis is displaceable transversely to the axis of the cam, a slider member secured for rotation with the gear and guided for linear radial movement relative to the gear or sprocket, and a rack on the slider member engaged by a pinion coupled to the cam for oscillating the cam relative to the camshaft upon sliding movement of the slider in response to eccentrically displacing the axis of the gear.
