Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a lightweight and highly rigid roller rocker arm at low cost. CONSTITUTION:In order to form both opposing sidewalls 6 and 6 to support a roller shaft with the central wide parts, a pivot contact wall 7 to connect base end sides of both the sidewalls 6 and 6 to each other and a valve stem contact wall 8 to connect the tip sides of both the sidewalls 6 and 6 to each other, an element molding material is formed by bending a single metal plate by means of press molding. The pivot contact wall 7 and the valve stem contact wall 8 in this element molding material are formed in an H shape cross section by bending both edges of the element molding material by means of the press molding, and holes 11 and 11 to support a roller shaft are provided in the central parts of both the sidewalls 6 and 6, so that a roller rocker arm 13 can be formed. In the roller rocker arm 13, the central part between both the sidewalls 6 and 6 is put in a vertically opened condition, so that weight reduction becomes possible and rigidity can also be heightened due to the H shape cross section. Roller rocker arm manufacturing cost can also be reduced by adopting the press molding.
