Abstract
An arrangement for coupling two components of an internal combustion engine that are arranged movable relative to each other is provided, in particular, for switching multi-stage valve drives, with at least one coupling element () arranged to be movable in one of the components for coupling with the other component to be coupled. Here, at the contact point between the coupling element () and the component to be coupled, a force acting on the coupling element () during coupling is introduced at an angle relative to the coupling direction () of the coupling element ().
