In a mechanism for actuating valves of an internal combustion engine, in place of a conventional coil spring, a holding member formed at least partly like a leaf spring is used to hold resiliently a plurality of rocker arms in position. The holding member together with a rocker shaft is fixed to a support member, for example, by means of a bolt. A holding portion of the holding member can be formed at one end or both ends of a body portion of the holding member.
