Abstract
A valve lifter for compressor valves includes a carrier, and a plurality of fingers secured thereto, the fingers including a retaining element co-operating with the carrier so as to provide a positive fit. At least one retaining element incorporates a positioning element that established its position relative to the carrier, and a fixing element that snaps into position in the installation position on the carrier. It is preferred that the fingers be of long glass fiber reinforced polyamide, which permits a simple and secure connection of the fingers to the carrier that does not settle.
