IC engine with camshaft separate from camshaft wheel - makes use of radial drive lever to connect shaft with the wheel

摘要

The arrangement of a camshaft and a camshaft drive wheel is accommodated in a housing in an IC engine. The camshaft (10) and the camshaft drive wheel (15) are mounted independently of each other. A radial drive lever (14) is fitted at the end (13) of the cam shaft and engages a modulator ring (16) on the wheel which is displaceable in both directions relative to the shaft by an amount (a). USE/ADVANTAGE - Cam shaft arrangement which enables the characteristics of the IC engine to be varied during the running of the engine.
