Abstract
A latch assembly comprises a latch pin configured to reciprocate in a latch bore. The latch pin comprises a main body comprising a first plug end, a second plug end, and a clearance between the first plug end and the second plug end. The latch pin is configured to selectively move in the latch bore. A rocker arm assembly can comprise the latch assembly. An outer arm can be configured to rotate about a rocker shaft and comprise the latch bore. An inner arm can at least be partially disposed within the outer arm and configured to rotate. When the latch pin is in the activated position, the inner arm is configured to transfer force to the outer arm via the latch pin. When the latch pin is in the deactivated position, the inner arm is configured to move in the clearance and in the lost motion gap.
