Abstract:
A valve train assembly includes valves having a valve stem; a main camshaft having main cams corresponding to the valves; main rocker arms corresponding to the valves; an auxiliary cam arranged on the main camshaft; at an auxiliary cam follower following the auxiliary cam, the auxiliary cam follower being movably arranged on a main rocker arm between a first and second position; and a latch on a main rocker arm for locking the auxiliary cam follower in the first position. A rotatable control rod controlling the latch is between the first and the second positions. The control rod includes a transmission element configured to convert torque in the control rod into a control force to control movement of the latch.

Claim (Index 1):
A valve train assembly comprising:\n a plurality of valves each having a valve stem; at least one main camshaft with a plurality of main cams, at least one main cam corresponding to each of the valves; a plurality of main rocker arms, each of the main rocker arms corresponding to one of the valves and having a valve stem actuation portion, a pivot axis parallel to the at least one main cam shaft and a main cam follower for following the corresponding one of the main cams, wherein the valve stem actuation portion, the pivot axis and the main cam follower are arranged along a length of a corresponding one of the main rocker arms and at a distance from each other; at least one auxiliary cam arranged on the at least one main camshaft; at least one auxiliary cam follower for each of the at least one auxiliary cam and for following the at least one auxiliary cam, wherein the respective at least one auxiliary cam follower is movably arranged on one of the main rocker arms between a first position and a second position; a latch arranged on a respective one of the main rocker arms for locking the at least one auxiliary cam follower in the first position, and at least one rotatable control rod for controlling the respective latch between the first position and the second position, and wherein the at least one control rod comprises for the respective latch a transmission element, the transmission element configured to convert torque in the at least one control rod into a control force tangential to the at least one control rod to control movement of the latch between the first and second position.
