FIG. 1 is a perspective view from above showing a rocker arm according to an embodiment of our new design.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view from below, showing the rocker arm of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a plan view from above, showing of the rocker arm of FIGS. 1-2.
FIG. 4 is a plan view from below, showing the rocker arm of FIGS. 1-3.
FIG. 5 is a side elevational view from a first side, showing the rocker arm of FIGS. 1-4.
FIG. 6 is a side elevational view from a second side, showing the rocker arm of FIGS. 1-5.
FIG. 7 is an elevational view from a first end, showing the rocker arm of FIGS. 1-6; and,
FIG. 8 is an elevational view from a second end, showing the rocker arm of FIGS. 1-7.
The features are shown in the various figures. The broken lines shown in the views depict environmental subject matter only and form no part of the claimed design.
This is a unique design for engine rocker arms that are designed to fit around an obstruction.
