Abstract:
A valve drive for an internal combustion engine may include a cam shaft, a cam follower, and an adjusting device. The cam shaft may include at least one first cam and at least one second cam. The cam follower may be drivingly connected to the at least one first cam when in a first position and drivingly connected to the at least one second cam when in a second position. The adjusting device may include a first engagement element configured to cooperate with a first sliding guide and a second engagement element configured to cooperate with a second sliding guide. The first engagement element and the second engagement element may be adjustable between a switching position and an inactive position. The adjusting device may further include a joint actuator configured to adjust at least one of the first engagement element and the second engagement element into the switching position.

Claim (Index 1):
A valve drive for an internal combustion engine, comprising:\n a cam shaft including at least one first cam and, at least one second cam axially adjacent the at least one first cam, the at least one first cam and the at least one second cam arranged on the cam shaft in a rotationally fixed manner; and a cam follower axially adjustable between a first position and a second position via an adjusting device, the cam follower drivingly connected to the at least one first cam when in the first position and drivingly connected to the at least one second cam when in the second position; wherein the adjusting device includes an adjustable first engagement element cooperatable with a first sliding guide arranged on the cam shaft for adjusting the cam follower from the first position into the second position; wherein the adjusting device further includes an adjustable second engagement element cooperatable with a second sliding guide arranged on the cam shaft for adjusting the cam follower from the second position into the first position; wherein the first engagement element is adjustable between a switching position, in which the first engagement element cooperates with the first sliding guide, and an inactive position, in which the first engagement element does not cooperate with the first sliding guide; wherein the second engagement element is adjustable between the switching position, in which the second engagement element cooperates with the second sliding guide, and the inactive position, in which the second engagement element does not cooperate with the second sliding guide; and wherein the adjusting device further includes a joint actuator configured to adjust at least one of the first engagement element and the second engagement element into the switching position.
