A valve opening/closing timing control device, including: a drive-side rotating body rotating synchronously with crankshaft; a driven-side rotating body arranged coaxially with the drive-side rotating body and rotating synchronously with a camshaft in an internal combustion engine; a partition section provided to at least one of the drive-side rotating body and the driven-side rotating body so as to partition a fluid pressure chamber into a retard chamber and an advance chamber; a seal member preventing leakage of a working fluid between the retard chamber and the advance chamber; and a biasing member engaging with the seal member by a biasing force caused by elastic deformation and biasing the seal member from the partition section side towards the drive-side rotating body side or the driven-side rotating body side.

Valve closing/opening timing control device

A clutch mechanism includes rotation operating unit for rotating a second rotational member integrally with a first rotational member, the rotation operating unit includes a collar member installed near the second end of the operating spring, and at least one braking member rotatably disposed generating biasing force containing an element in a radial direction relative to a circumferential slidable contact surface of the collar member. The braking member includes an engaging portion configured to engage the second edge of the operating spring therewith.
