A rotational cam can be disposed on a camshaft rotationally driven by a
crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. A swing cam can be swingable
through the rotational cam. The swing cam has a rotational cam abutment
portion which contacts the rotational cam and transmits driving force
from the rotational cam to the swing cam. An abutment portion displacing
mechanism can be provided for displacing the rotational cam abutment
portion to change a relative distance between the rotational cam abutment
portion and a center axis of the swing shaft. Changing the relative
distance allows changing a lift and the like of a valve.
