Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a valve timing variable mechanism of an internal combustion engine which can suppress the release of the engagement of a second piston and an end part in a state that an engagement object of the end part of a spring is switched to the second pin from a first pin.SOLUTION: When a rotor relatively moves to a housing 4 in a direction separating from an intermediate lock position to a retardant side, an engagement object of an end part 28b of a spring 28 is switched to a second pin 30 from a first pin 29. Even if the end part 28b tries to move to a direction in which engagement with the second pin 30 is released, that is, a vertical direction of (b) in a state that the engagement object of the end part 28b is switched to the second pin 30, the movement of the end part is regulated by a front bush 27. This regulation results from the fact that the front bush 27 is formed so as to extend up to a position corresponding to the second pin 30 described as above when the end part 28b is engaged with the second pin 30, and the rotor relatively moves to the housing 4 to the most retardant side. 【課題】スプリングの端部の係合対象が第1ピンから第2ピンに切り替わった状態のもとで、その第2ピンと上記端部との係合が解除されることを抑制できる内燃機関のバルブタイミング可変機構を提供する。【解決手段】ハウジング4に対しロータが中間ロック位置から遅角側に離れる方向に相対移動すると、スプリング28の端部28bの係合対象が第1ピン29から第2ピン30に切り替わる。端部28bの係合対象が第2ピン30に切り替わった状態のもとでは、同端部28bが第2ピン30との係合を解除する方向、すなわち(b)の上下方向に動こうとしても、その動きがフロントブッシュ27によって規制される。これは、端部28bが第2ピン30に係合し、且つ、ハウジング4に対しロータが最遅角側に相対移動したとき、上述したように第2ピン30に対応する位置までフロントブッシュ27が延びるよう形成されているためである。【選択図】図5
