<p>A mechanism is described for driving a cam in such a manner that a variable oscillation is superimposed on the rotation of the cam in order to vary the period during which an associated valve is opened. …<??>The mechanism comprises a gear or sprocket (16) rotatable in synchronism with the engine crankshaft and journalled in a block (18a, 18b) which is displaceable transversely to the axis of the cam (12). A slider member (36,37) is guided for linear radial movement relative to the gear or sprocket (16), and a rack (38) on the slider member is engaged by a pinion (42) coupled to drive the cam (12).</p> |
