The function of the pivot device of the boat-shaped rocker arm according to the first embodiment will now be described. As shown by the solid line in FIG.
A gap B is formed at the peripheral edge portion 13a of the rocking sliding portion 13 of the boat-shaped rocker arm 6 when the valve is closed. Therefore, as shown by the imaginary line A in FIG. 2, the hollow pivotal support 3 fixed on the upper side by the receiving nut 4 is pushed by the boat-shaped rocker arm 6 and elastically deforms into a substantially elliptical shape. Therefore, the peripheral portion 1 of the rubbing portion 13 for swinging
3a comes into contact with the entire surface, and the gap B disappears. For this reason,
With the elastic deformation of the pivot support 3 due to the swing of the boat-shaped rocker arm 6, a pumping action is generated in the swing rubbing portion 13,
The lubricating oil in the rocker arm chamber 1 is smoothly introduced into the rubbing portion 13, and the lubricating performance of the swinging rubbing portion 13 is improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, at the receiving portion 15 between the pivotal support 3 and the receiving flange 4 (specifically, the receiving flange 4a), the valve opening of the hollow pivotal support 3 is performed. Since the pumping action is generated by the elastic deformation at the time of driving (see the imaginary line C), the lubricating oil can be smoothly introduced into the receiving portion 15. Further, since the striking load at the start of the valve opening drive is absorbed by the elastic deformation of the pivot support 3, the wear of the receiving portion 15 is reduced, and the wear resistance of the pivot support device is further improved. Further, with the rocking of the boat-shaped rocker arm 6, the pivotal support 3 is swept with the boat-shaped rocker arm 6 while sliding,
Since the pivotal support 3 slides with respect to the receiving tool 4, the sliding rubbing portion 13 between the receiving surface 5 of the pivotal support 3 and the pressing surface 10 of the boat-shaped rocker arm 6 has a short sliding distance. As a result, wear is reduced and durability is improved.
