Patent ID: 7533642

Claim:
A finger lever of a valve train of an internal combustion engine, said finger lever comprising: an inner lever and an outer lever, the inner lever having two side walls connected through a transverse portion, the transverse portion being at one end of the inner lever and the other end of the inner lever pivotally connected to the outer lever the inner lever having a valve stem support at the other end of the inner lever, a separate component fixed to the transverse portion, the separate component having a complementary cavity for a head of a support element and a reception for a coupling element, the reception being a longitudinal counterbore for housing the coupling element, the counterbore having a central region of a first cross-section and a second region having a second cross-section larger than said first cross-section the coupling element movably mounted in the reception and movable in a longitudinal axis of the finger follower for coupling the inner lever to the outer lever for achieving different cam lifts, the coupling element being biased in the counterbore by a biasing element in the second region wherein the cavity, the reception, and the coupling element are made as a single assembled unit, as a separate component from the inner lever after the bias element is received in the second region.
