Abstract:
A device for actuating at least one valve in an internal combustion engine includes a camshaft arrangement including a hollow outer shaft and an inner shaft, which is concentrically mounted inside of the outer shaft to be pivotable relative to the outer shaft. A first cam lobe is mounted on one of the inner shaft and the outer shaft in a rotationally fixed manner and a second cam lobe is mounted on the other of the inner shaft and the outer shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. The device further includes a rocker arm arrangement including a first primary rocker arm, which is arranged to follow the first cam lobe and arranged to actuate a first valve when it follows the first cam lobe. The rocker arm arrangement further includes an auxiliary rocker arm, which is arranged to follow the second cam lobe. The auxiliary rocker arm is adapted to actuate the first primary rocker arm so that an opening tune of the first valve may be extended by the auxiliary rocker arm following the second cam lobe.

Claim (Index 14):
A device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first primary rocker arm comprises a first contact portion and the auxiliary rocker arm comprises a second contact portion and wherein the first primary rocker arm and the auxiliary rocker arm are arranged in relation to one another so that the first and second contact portions may be in contact for achieving that the opening time of the first valve is extended by the auxiliary rocker arm following the second cam lobe.
