Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve spring used in a valve operating mechanism of an internal combustion engine for a vehicle such as an automobile.
  • a coil valve spring 1 used in a valve operating mechanism of an internal combustion engine is formed like a frustum.
  • the upper and lower surfaces of the valve spring 1 are flat to contact the lower surface of a retainer 2 and the upper surface of a cylinder head 3 respectively, as shown in Fig. 3.
  • a diameter of an uppermost winding is smaller, so that a horizontal distance with a tubular portion of the retainer 2 becomes smaller.
  • the valve spring 1 vibrates in a lateral direction owing to surging, so that an inner circumferential edge 1a vigorously comes in contact with an inner corner 5 between the tubular portion 2a and a receiving surface 2b, thereby causing wear.
  • wear thereon is unsuitable.
  • the numerals 6, 7 and 8 denote a poppet valve, a valve guide and a pair of cotters respectively.
  • valve spring in an internal combustion engine, said valve spring comprising a coil which is tapered upward, an upper surface of the coil being formed flat, a terminal end of said coil extending in a tangential direction to go away from an axis of the coil.
  • the terminal end of the coil extends away from the axis of the coil, thereby decreasing possibility of contact of the inner circumferential edge with a retainer to keep wear at minimum.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the first embodiment of the present invention, in which the uppermost surface 4 of a frusto-conical valve spring 1 is flat, and a terminal end 9 extends in a tangential direction to go away from an axis of the valve spring.
  • a distance between an inner circumferential edge 1a and a tubular portion 2a of a retainer 2 is increased, thereby decreasing possibility that the terminal end 9 comes in contact with a corner 5 between the tubular portion 2a and a receiving surface (not shown) and keeping wear thereon at minimum.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the second embodiment of the present invention, in which a terminal end 9 extends at almost the same curvature as the lowermost portion of a valve spring 1, thereby improving yield of the valve spring 1.
