Abstract:
A valve operating system that includes a plurality of cam assemblies that are coupled for rotation about a rotary axis. Each of the cam assemblies has a control link and a first cam member. Each of the control links has a link body, which forms a majority of the control link, and that extends parallel to the rotary axis. Each of the first cam members is coupled to one of the control links for axial movement therewith along the rotary axis between first and second positions to alternate between first and second cam profiles, respectively.

Claim (Index 16):
A valve operating system ( 10 ) comprising:\n a cam tube ( 12 ) that is rotatable about a rotary axis ( 28 ); a plurality of cam assemblies ( 14 ), each of the cam assemblies ( 14 ) having a control link ( 30 ) and a first cam member ( 32 ), each of the control links ( 30 ) having a link body ( 36 ) that forms a majority of the control link ( 30 ), the link body ( 36 ) extending parallel to the rotary axis ( 28 ), the link bodies ( 36 ) being received in the cam tube ( 12 ), each of the first cam members ( 32 ) being mounted on the cam tube ( 12 ) and coupled to a corresponding one of the control links ( 30 ) for axial movement therewith along the rotary axis ( 28 ), each of the first cam members ( 32 ) having a first cam configuration ( 50 ) and a second cam configuration ( 52 ), the first cam configuration ( 50 ) having a first predetermined lift profile, the second cam configuration ( 52 ) having a second predetermined lift profile that is different from the first predetermined lift profile, wherein each of the cam assemblies ( 14 ) is slide-able along the rotary axis ( 28 ) between a first position, in which the first cam configurations ( 50 ) are positioned in associated activated locations and each of the second cam configurations ( 52 ) are offset along the rotary axis ( 28 ) from their associated activated location, and a second position, in which the second cam configurations ( 52 ) are positioned in the associated activated locations and each of the first cam configurations ( 50 ) are offset along the rotary axis ( 28 ) from their associated activated location; and a plurality of actuator segments ( 110 ), each of the actuator segments ( 110 ) extending about a portion of a circumference of the cam tube ( 12 ), each of the actuator segments ( 110 ) being non-rotatably but axially slidably coupled to the cam tube ( 12 ) and axially fixed to an associated one of the control links ( 30 ), each of the actuator segments ( 110 ) defining first and second ramp profiles ( 150 ,  152 ) that extend in a circumferential direction about the actuator segment ( 110 ), the first ramp profile ( 150 ) having a first ramp section ( 170 ) and a second ramp section ( 172 ) that is offset axially along the rotary axis ( 28 ) from the first ramp section ( 170 ), the second ramp profile ( 152 ) having a third ramp section ( 180 ) and a fourth ramp section ( 182 ) that is offset axially along the rotary axis ( 28 ) from the third ramp section ( 180 ).
