Connecting element ( 10 ) retains cam follower ( 2 ), which actuates gas-exchange valve ( 4 ) of an internal combustion engine, on support element ( 6 ). Support element ( 6 ) has spherical end ( 7 ) on cylindrical section ( 22 ) and on which cam follower ( 2 ) is mounted, so as to be pivotably movable in the direction of gas-exchange valve ( 4 ) about center of rotation ( 9 ). Connecting element ( 10 ) has elastically deformable projections ( 21 ), which proceed from central webs ( 19 ), parallel to the pivot axis of cam follower ( 2 ) such that connecting element ( 10 ) is connected to cylindrical section ( 22 ) in a frictionally-engaging manner. Projections ( 21 ) are embodied as lugs ( 20 ) which angle away from central webs ( 19 ) and extend in a direction pointing away from cam follower ( 2 ), so that projections ( 21 ) are elastic in shape.
