LUBRICANT FEED MECHANISM FOR ENGINE

摘要

Provided is a lubricant feed mechanism for an engine capable of achieving manufacturing cost reduction. A lubricant feed mechanism for an engine (1) is configured to feed lubricant through a cylinder head (10), a camshaft (an intake-side camshaft (40); an exhaust-side camshaft (42)), a cam cap (50), and an oil feed member (100) to a cam (a cam (40a); a cam (42a)) of a valve gear (30). The oil feed member (100) is formed by folding one panel member, and the inside surface of the oil feed member (100) in the folded state is recessed so as to form an oil passage (a first oil passage (114); a second oil passage (116); a third oil passage (118)) for guiding lubricant fed through the cam cap (50) to the cam.

1. A lubricant feed mechanism for an engine,
the lubricant feed mechanism comprising:
a cylinder head;a camshaft to which lubricant is fed through the cylinder head;a cam cap to which lubricant is fed through the camshaft;an oil feed member formed by folding a first part of a panel member onto a second part of the panel member, such that an inside surface of one of the parts of the panel member includes a recess so as to form an oil passage for guiding lubricant fed through the cam cap when the first part of the panel member is folded over on the second part of the panel member; anda cam of a valve gear to which lubricant is fed through the oil feed member.
