A device for controlling the variation of the opening and closing times and durations of a valve ( 8 ) comprises an elastic means ( 18 ) acting upon an assembly consisting of a lever device ( 1 ) and a valve stem ( 11 ) not in the closing direction but in the opening direction of the valve ( 8 ). The assembly consisting of the lever device ( 1 ) and of the opening cam ( 5 ) and the closing cam ( 6 ) fulfils a dual function, one for opening the valve ( 8 ), the other for moving it back for its closure. The control device, which comprises a device for offsetting the angular position of the cam position relative to the crankshaft, allows to control the opening and closing duration of the valve ( 8 ) over a very wide range extending, for opening, from 210° to 350° of crankshaft rotation approximately, by varying the valve opening and closing times independently of each other. It is applicable to a wide range of engines.
