Abstract

See full text

A castellation assembly (600) can comprise a first toothed body (601) comprising a first toothed end (611) and a biased end (610) comprising a projecting lever (615). The projecting lever can be configured to extend out from the biased end and contact an actuation lever throughout a travel of the first toothed body. The second toothed body can comprise a base (620) and a second toothed end (621) configured to mesh between or stack against the first toothed end. A castellation spring (630) can be configured to push the first and second toothed body apart. An actuator assembly (40) can actuate the castellation assembly and comprise an actuating lever assembly (50) configured to reciprocate between a contacting position against the projecting lever and a clearance position spaced from the projecting lever. A rocker arm (100) in a valvetrain can be controlled for variable valve actuation thereby.
