Abstract
A valve timing control device has a purge path arranged at a vane of a rotor provided with a valve. The purge path communicates a retardation side oil hydraulic pressure chamber with an accommodation hole. Oil pressure in the retardation side oil hydraulic pressure chamber is supplied through the purge path to the accommodation hole to generate oil pressure acting to delay a release operation.
