Patent ID: 6997153

Claim:
A device for the variable actuation of the charge-cycle valves in reciprocating piston engines consisting of a housing, a cam mounted in the housing in a turning joint and whose rotating motion is derived from the crankshaft, an output element, which is mounted in the housing in a turning joint and which transmits the motion to a charge-cycle valve, and an intermediate element, which is mounted in the housing in a turning joint and which is connected with the cam through an output element and a cam joint, wherein the cam joint between the intermediate element and the output element comprises, at the intermediate element, a section that forms a stop notch and a control section, the section-that forms the stop notch is formed by a circular arc, whose center is identical with the center of rotation of the turning joint between the intermediate element and the housing, and is characterized in that the position of the cam joint can be changed by means of a shift in the position of the cam joint in relation to the turning joint, wherein this change in the position of the cam joint in the area of the valve stop notch, reflects a shift of the cam joint along the section of the contour of the intermediate element that forms the stop notch.
