Abstract
A variable valve mechanism includes a variable arm including a first arm and a second arm. The second arm is pivotally supported so as to be swingable by a support shaft. A position of the support shaft is a position where, during a base circle phase, in side view, a second segment connecting an axis of a roller to an axis of the support shaft is longer than a first segment connecting the axis of the roller to an axis of a camshaft, and an angle of the second segment formed with respect to a third segment connecting the axis of the roller to a swing axis of a roller arm is 60° to 120° toward the camshaft. The second arm extends from the support shaft such that a distal end portion of the second arm protrudes in between a cam and the roller.
