ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a valve mechanism for controlling a disc valve (1) of an internal combustion engine and comprises a control shaft (2) which is driven by the engine crankshaft, and a push rod (3) which is driven by the control shaft (2) and which for the purpose of transmitting reciprocating movement is connected to one arm (14) of a two-arm rocker (4) which is pivotable about a rocker shaft (15) and the other arm (16) of which rocker transmits these movements to the valve (1). The valve mechanism according to the invention is characterized in that the control shaft (2) is intended to act upon the push rod (3) in both directions of movement thereof; in that the first arm (14) of the rocker (4) extends essentially at right angles to the push rod (3) and the second arm (16) of the rocker extends essentially parallel with the longitudinal geometric axis of the valve (1); and in that a lifting arm (5) is provided for transferring rocker movement to the valve (1). The other arm (16) of the rocker (4) is provided with activating means (18) for coaction with the lifting arm (5), one end of which is pivotally mounted on a lifting arm shaft (19) and the other end of which is provided with means for activating the valve (1). The lifting arm surface (20) which co-acts with the second arm (16) of the rocker (4) is profiled in a manner to achieve the desired pattern of movement of the second end of the lifting arm (5) in response to movement of the rocker (4).
