Abstract
A device (22) is adapted to couple a finger follower (14) and a hydraulic lash adjuster (18) for use in a valve train (10) of an engine. The hydraulic lash adjuster (18) includes a plunger (34) having a longitudinal axis. The finger follower (14) includes a pocket (30) for receiving the plunger (34) and a protrusion (54) proximate the pocket (30). The device (22) includes a first portion (66) having an outer peripheral edge (70) and an inner peripheral edge (74), which defines a first aperture (82) configured to receive the plunger (34). The inner peripheral edge (74) of the first portion (66) includes at least one radially inwardly-projecting tang (86) configured to frictionally engage the plunger (34) to substantially axially secure the first portion (66) to the plunger (34). The device (22) also includes a second portion (78) coupled to the first portion (66) and extending substantially non-parallel to the first portion (66). The second portion (78) includes an inner peripheral edge (98) defining a second aperture (102) configured to receive the protrusion (54) on the finger follower 14).
