| 摘要 |
A variable valve apparatus of an internal combustion engine includes a cam shaft (9), a drive cam (14) formed integrally with the cam shaft (9), and a rocker arm mechanism for transmitting an opening/closing force from an operating end portion thereof to an intake or an exhaust valve (5, 6) by receiving the opening/closing force by a drive cam opposed roller (32) brought into contact with the drive cam (14) . For displacing a lift time period, in which the drive cam opposed roller (32) receives the opening/closing force, frontward/rearward in a direction of rotating the drive cam (14), a down section of a cam lift face of the drive cam (14) is formed to be longer than an up section thereof such that a change region of a lift valve closing time point of the lift time period becomes larger than a change region of a lift valve opening time point thereof.
