PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a valve lifter with a valve resting mechanism excelling in the ease of installation and capable of regulating the rotation of a movable piston in the circumferential direction. SOLUTION: The valve lifter includes the valve resting mechanism 14 arranged between a valve and a cam and controlling valve operation by hydraulic pressure, and the valve resting mechanism 14 has the movable piston 19, a mechanism body 14A formed with an insertion hole 27 for the insertion of the movable piston 19, and a coil spring 26 biasing the movable piston. The movable piston 19 is provided with a projection pin 23 projecting from an outer peripheral part 20, and a guide groove 18 is formed at the inner wall face 17 of the insertion hole 27 of the mechanism body 14A for guiding the projection pin 23. The guide groove 18 terminates at a fixed length from an opening end 27A of the mechanism body 14A toward a bottom 16. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
