Device for coupling two valve activating levers of an internal combustion engine with at least one carrier body (1) mounted on the internal combustion engine, wherein at least one hollow shaft (2) in which oil of the internal combustion engine is stored is attached to the carrier body, and a coupling pin (9) is supported parallel to the hollow shaft (2) in each of the valve activating levers (4a, 4b) and is spring loaded on one side and loaded by pressurized fluid on the other side in such a way that the coupling pin (9) connects or releases the valve activating levers (4a, 4b), wherein control of the pressurized fluid that is taken advantageously from the oil circuit of the internal combustion engine is realized by at least one electromagnetically activated valve (14) and wherein the supply of pressurized fluid is realized by channels (13) that are provided in the carrier body (1) or carrier bodies of the internal combustion engine.
Device for coupling two valve activating levers of an internal combustion engine, comprising at least one carrier body mounted on the internal combustion engine, at least one hollow shaft in which oil of the reciprocating piston internal combustion engine is stored is mounted on the carrier body, a coupling pin that is supported parallel to the hollow shaft in first and second valve activating levers, that is spring loaded on one side and loaded by pressurized fluid on the other side such that the coupling pin connects or releases the first and second valve activating levers to each other, and at least one electromagnetically activated valve to control the pressurized fluid taken from an oil circuit of the internal combustion engine, and supply of the pressurized fluid to the coupling pin is provided via channels that are provided in the at least one carrier body of the internal combustion engine.
