<p>A cam follower device includes a pair of plate-shaped rocker arms 17 parallel mutually, a support shaft 7a fixed in support holes 8a, 8a at one end portions of the rocker arms 17 at both end portions and a tappet roller 9 supported rotatably around a circumference of an intermediate portion of the support shaft 7a. When the cam follower device is built in a valve train, rotary motion of a cam 2 provided on a camshaft is transmitted to valve elements 12 constituting two inlet (or exhaust) valves by the tappet roller 9 and the pair of rocker arms 17 so as to reciprocate the two valve elements 12 axially. By this configuration, the number of components in a valve train of an engine, in which a number of at least one of inlet and exhaust valves per cylinder is two or more, can be reduced.</p> |
