PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a variable valve gear which can prevent destabilization of engine operation and the deterioration of fuel economy by controlling minute opening of an air intake valve which is in a close state of a cylinder caused by flexural deformation of a drive shaft at the time the air intake valve of another cylinder is open. SOLUTION: The variable valve gear is provided with an oscillation cam construct 7 which opens the air intake valve 3 through a swing arm 6, a hydraulic lash adjuster 10 which adjusts the gap between the swing arm and a cam surface 7c of the oscillation cam construct 7 to zero, and a transferring mechanism 8 which converts the rotating force of a driving cam 5a to the swinging force of the oscillation cam construct. Each of the oscillation cam constructs installed on each cylinder is provided with a cylindrical member 7a which is inserted and fitted on the periphery of the drive shaft 5 with a prescribed relatively large gap T and two swinging cams 7b per cylinder installed on both ends in the shaft direction of the cylindrical member in an integrated manner. The peripheral surface of each of the cylindrical members is pivotally supported in a rotatable manner by two first and second bearings 13, 34. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
