Patent ID: 8418667

Claim:
A valve train of an internal combustion engine, comprising a camshaft that comprises a carrier shaft and a cam part that is locked in rotation on the carrier shaft and is arranged to be displaceable in an axial direction and has at least one cam group of directly adjacent cams of different elevations for variable actuation of a gas-exchange valve and a grooved, axial connecting link with connecting link paths, and two actuation pins that can be coupled in the connecting link paths for displacement of the cam part in the direction of the connecting link paths, the connecting link paths on the grooved axial connecting link include first and second connecting-link paths crossing on a periphery thereof, and a third connecting-link path that runs essentially equidistant to one of the first and second connecting-link paths, wherein the actuation pins are simultaneously coupleable in the first connecting-link path and the third connecting-link path, and the actuation pin coupled in the third connecting-link path forces a further displacement of the cam part in a direction of the first connecting-link path when passing through a crossing region of the first and second connecting-link paths.
