Abstract:
A valve timing control device includes: a gear part whose proximal end portion is formed integrally with an outer peripheral surface of a housing body, and around which a timing chain is wound for crankshaft torque transmission; and a vane member fixed to one end portion of a camshaft and is configured to rotate relatively inside the housing body, and including vanes on an outer periphery of a rotor, wherein the vanes define a retard oil chamber and an advance oil chamber. A raised portion is formed in which an outer surface between the outer peripheral surface of the housing body and one side surface of the proximal end portion of the gear part facing a front plate is inclined downward toward the front plate.

Claim (Index 1):
An internal combustion engine valve timing control device comprising:\n a housing body having a cylindrical tubular shape, and including a plurality of shoes, wherein the shoes project from an inner peripheral side of the housing body; a plurality of gear parts, wherein each of the gear parts includes a proximal end portion formed integrally with an outer peripheral surface of the housing body, and wherein a transmission member is wound around the gear parts for crankshaft torque transmission; a vane member configured to be fixed to a first axial end portion of a camshaft, and mounted rotatably in the housing body, wherein the vane member includes a plurality of vanes, and wherein each of the vanes is configured to separate a space between corresponding adjacent two of the shoes into a retard hydraulic chamber and an advance hydraulic chamber; a rear plate enclosing a first axial end opening of the housing body, wherein the first axial end opening faces the camshaft; a front plate enclosing a second axial end opening of the housing body, wherein the second axial end opening is opposite to the first axial end opening, and farther from the camshaft than the first axial end opening; and a raised portion formed at least between the outer peripheral surface of the housing body and a first lateral surface of the proximal end portion of each of the gear parts, wherein the first lateral surface faces the front plate.
