A valve timing adjusting device includes: a first rotor rotating integrally with a crankshaft; a second rotor integrally secured to an intake or exhaust camshaft; and an engaging cavity provided in one of the first rotor and the second rotor. A lock pin is housed in a housing hole provided in the other of the first rotor and the second rotor, protruded by the energizing force of an energizing device at the time of hydraulic pressure reduction, to thus abut on the wall of the engaging cavity from an oblique direction to give a relative rotating force to the first rotor and the second rotor.

Valve timing adjusting device

A valve timing adjusting device includes a first rotor that rotates synchronously with a crankshaft of an engine; a second rotor that is relatively rotatable by a predetermined angle within the first rotor, and is secured on the end face of an intake or an exhaust camshaft; and a tension spring that acts as an assisting spring for adjusting a relative position between both the rotors.

A valve timing adjusting device includes a first rotor that rotates synchronously with a crankshaft of an engine, a second rotor that is relatively rotatable by a predetermined angle within the first rotor and is secured on the end face of an intake or exhaust camshaft, and a lock mechanism that restricts a relative rotation between the first rotor and the second rotor. The receiving hole of the lock mechanism is a stepped structure having a small part provided at the outermost located radially to the device.
