Abstract
A VVA apparatus includes a control rod controlling position of each of supports that are held for movement within a plane perpendicular to a shaft axis of a driving shaft. The supports have intermediate members, each being drivingly connected between a driving sleeve and a driven hollow camshaft. Spaced cam brackets hold the hollow cams, respectively, on a cylinder head of an engine. The control rod has eccentric cams at predetermined spaced portions for driving connection with the supports, respectively. A control rod holding structure includes a base portion fixed to the cylinder head and bearing portions extending from the base portion. The bearing portions of the control rod holding structure hold the control rod at locations in the vicinity of the predetermined spaced portions where the eccentric cams are.
