Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A valve timing control apparatus includes a driving-side rotation member, a driven-side rotation member, a first lock mechanism selectively achieving a first lock state in which a relative rotation phase of the driven-side rotation member relative to the driving-side rotation member is locked at an intermediate lock phase and a first lock release state, and a second lock mechanism selectively achieving a second lock state in which the relative rotation phase is locked at one of a most advanced angle phase and a most retarded angle phase and a second lock release state, the driven-side rotation member being rotatable relative to the driving-side rotation member by a first clearance angle in the first lock state, the driven-side rotation member being rotatable relative to the driving-side rotation member by a second clearance angle in the second lock state, the second clearance angle being smaller than the first clearance angle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A valve timing control apparatus comprising: a driving-side rotation member rotating in synchronization with a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine and including an axis; a driven-side rotation member arranged at a radially inner side of the driving-side rotation member and rotating about the axis of the driving-side rotation member in synchronization with a camshaft for opening and closing a valve of the internal combustion engine; a fluid…
