Switchable finger lever

A switchable finger lever (1) for a valve train of an internal combustion engine, said finger lever (1) comprising an inner lever (2) comprising on an underside (3) on one end (4), a support (5) for a gas exchange valve and on another end (6), a contact surface (7) for a head of a support element, said inner lever (2) comprising on the one end (4), outer arms (8) which are pivotable relative to the inner lever (2), which outer arms (8) extend in direction of the another end (6) while flanking outer walls (9) of the inner lever (2) and comprise on upper sides (10), contacting surfaces (11) for high lift cams, a coupling device (12) comprising a coupling slide (13) for simultaneously connecting the outer arms (8) to the inner lever (2) being seated in a section of the another end (6) in the inner lever (2), wherein the coupling slide (13) is seated in an oblong hole (14) extending transversely through the inner lever (2) as also in longitudinal direction of the finger lever (2), the coupling slide (13) comprises two end portions (15) which protrude beyond the outer walls (9), and for effecting coupling [high valve lift], the coupling slide (13) can be displaced with the two end portions (15) towards the one end (4) partially in or under entraining surfaces (16) of the outer arms (8) ending in this region, whereas for effecting uncoupling, the coupling slide (13) can be displaced out of the entraining surfaces (16) towards the another end (6), and wherein at least one restoring spring (17) likewise extends in a region of the another end (6) between the inner lever (2) and the outer arms (8).
