Abstract: In a valve timing adjusting device, a vane rotor includes a second supply oil passage connectable to a first supply oil passage of a second shaft. A check valve is provided between the vane rotor and the second shaft, and permits a flow from the first supply oil passage toward the second supply oil passage and prevents a flow from the second supply oil passage toward the first supply oil passage. A fixing unit is provided between the check valve and the second shaft, and fixes the check valve between the fixing unit and the vane rotor. The fixing unit includes a third supply oil passage which connects the first supply oil passage and the second supply oil passage. A filter is provided for the fixing unit and can capture foreign substances flowing through the third supply oil passage.

Abstract: In a valve timing control apparatus, a supply oil passage, which supplies hydraulic oil to advancing chambers, is formed separately from a discharge oil passage, which discharges the hydraulic oil from the advancing chambers. A spool is configured to reciprocate in a sleeve to enable and disable communication between each corresponding two of an intake oil passage, the supply oil passage, the discharge passage, and a supply and discharge passage. An isolating member is fixed to one end portion of the spool and isolates an air chamber, which is formed between the one end portion of the spool and a bottom portion of the sleeve, from each of the oil passages.

Abstract: A first housing has a first concave portion that opposes to a vane rotor, and the first concave portion has an inside diameter larger than an inside diameter of a first through hole of the first housing. A boss part of the vane rotor has a first convex portion projected into the first concave portion. A reed valve is arranged between an end surface of the first convex portion and a bottom surface of the first concave portion, and has an outside diameter larger than the inside diameter of the first through hole.
