Patented Novalz, 1929 A errzoaefny n.' Rien,oruisafrrrnn carinii, MICHIGAN l VVALVE 'mirante Application medfmvemberiz, 192s. seriai No. swf/43. -V
I Thisinvention relates to valve tappets for internal combustion engines, and its principal object'is to increase 'the'eliiciency of such tappets and to .overcome certain objectionable features now present therein. .It is well known that valve tappets employ an adjustment stud for engagement with the stem of the valve with which the tappet is used, and that considerably difficulty has been experienced in. forming the .threadedbore for the adjustment stud intrue alignment with theA axis of the tappet, the result'being that fre- `quentlyy the stem is tilted slightlyand the contacting end ofl thel stud instead of being vat perfect right angles to lthel axis of the stem is slightly inclined, so that its `entire .end does not contact with the end of the valveV stem.
Furthermore, it Vhas been -Observed that when the lock nut, usually employed in con. nection with the adjustment stud, is screwed up tightly against the end of the tappet stem, the wall surrounding; the threaded portion thereof becomes bulged outwardly, and although this bulged portion is very slight, yet it interferes with the perfect operation of the tappet and the valve, because valve tap-V pets are fitted fairly close in the guides in which they are held andthe bulged, portion causes `the. sternA of the tappettobear unequally in the guide and'vprevents it from moving freely therein because of the friction between th'ebulgedportion and the guide.
Y In accordance withV the present invention, I
have overcome these yvarious diliicul'ties and have provided `a tappet whereinthe adjust` ment stud is held in exact cor-'axialv alignment with vthe tappet andthe possibility of bulg-` ing is eliminated.' ,j L* y.'
'With these and otherv objectsand ladvantages in view, the A.invention consists in a valve tappet having :an adjustment stud vthreadedly secured in the head portion ofthe tappet and extending-oi1tthrough an opening in the stem end.' Itfurther yconsists in a tappet in whichithebore inthestem end of the tappet is unprovided withfany screw threads for the adjustmenty stud, :whereby the ossibility ofpb'ulging, when pressure is applied thereto by a lock nut,'is eliminated.
It further consistsvin a 'tappet having airel`1 inforcingv element for the neckthe heady of the tappet;vv
-It further consists in the severalnovel-features hereinafter fully set forth and claimed.

The, stern portion is preferably I formedof a steel rodV bored: ont to provide the thin walled main portion, andY also bored out 'at the end opposite thehead to forma' stud receiving unthreaded bore 11.'
