Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a top plate, which is fixed in a skirt part by caulking, hardly drop. SOLUTION: Regarding a valve lifter for an internal combustion engine which is composed into a cap type by caulking and fixing a top plate 16 in the inside of an upper end aperture of a cylindrical skirt part 12, a thick part 13, which prevents the top plate 16 from slipping out upward and functions as a shim guide for an outer shim 18, is formed in the inner circumference of the upper end aperture part of the skirt part 12. The outer circumferential edge of the top plate 16 stored in the skirt part 12 from a lower end aperture side of the skirt part 12 is shaped in the inside of the skirt part 12 by recessing the circumferential edge inward in the radius direction by plastic and inward deformation of the skirt part 12 and the top plate 16 is pinched between the inward projected part 14 with high rigidity and strength and the thick part 13 with high shear strength, so that the top plate 16 can be prevented from coming-out of the skirt part.
