Abstract
An internal combustion engine valve timing control device includes a communication passage formed in a first rotating member to communicate with a working chamber, and including a first opening. The first opening is opened to a back pressure chamber when a tip portion of a lock member is inserted in a lock hole, and is closed by the lock member when the tip portion of the lock member is out of the lock hole. A first cross-sectional area is smaller than a second cross-sectional area, wherein the first cross-sectional area is a smaller one of a minimum cross-sectional area of the communication passage and an open cross-sectional area of the first opening, and the second cross-sectional area is a smaller one of a minimum cross-sectional area of an exhaust passage and an open cross-sectional area of an opening of the exhaust passage opened to the back pressure chamber.
