  • Patent number: 11692464
    Abstract: A valve timing adjustment device includes: a housing member; a vane rotor that includes vanes and is securely coupled to a driven shaft and is rotatable relative to the housing member when the vane rotor receives a pressure of hydraulic oil introduced into hydraulic chambers; a fixing member that fixes the vane rotor to the driven shaft; and a bearing section that rotatably supports the housing member. The housing member includes a winding section that is formed at an outer peripheral surface of the housing member. A transmission member is wound around the winding section.

  • Patent number: 11193398
    Abstract: A friction member is clamped between a driven shaft of an internal combustion engine and a vane rotor and includes an oil passage hole. The oil passage hole communicates between a first oil passage of the driven shaft a second oil passage of the vane rotor. Each of positioning arrangements includes a primary engaging portion of the vane rotor and a secondary engaging portion of the friction member. The positioning arrangements are configured to limit relative rotation between the vane rotor and the friction member in a communicating state where the first oil passage and the second oil passage are communicated with each other through the oil passage hole.
