  • a further oil guide channel 18 is additionally arranged in the first leg 26, which passes the oil to the storage area 19 of the carrier body 21 and channel sections in the carrier body 21 via this to the storage area 20 of the contact element 28.
  • a vent channel 37 is provided, which emits a small amount of oil, for example, in the case of compression of the second piston-cylinder unit 12 to the environment of the rocker arm 6 , Additionally or alternatively, air can escape through the channel 37 of the rocker arm 6.
  • the above-described arrangement of the first and second piston-cylinder unit 11, 12 according to the invention is particularly advantageous for overhead camshaft engines 4.
