Zusammenfassung:To provide a chain tensioner which generates proper thrust force while following tension change and fluttering of a chain.SOLUTION: A chain tensioner includes: a cylindrical cylinder 9 in which one end is opened and the other end is closed; a cylindrical plunger 10 which is supported so as to be slidable in an axial direction by an inner periphery of the cylinder 9 and in which an insertion end inserted into the cylinder 9 is opened or a protruding end protruding from the cylinder 9 is closed; a return spring 33 which biases the plunger 10 in a direction such that the plunger 10 protrudes from the one end of the cylinder 9; a pressure chamber 18 which is formed in the cylinder 9 so that a volumetric capacity changes in conjunction with axial movement of the plunger 10; a check valve 20 which allows oil flow from an interior of the plunger 10 into the pressure chamber 18; an oil supply passage 31 which introduces the oil from the outer side of the cylinder 9 to the inner side; and an auxiliary spring 34 which has elastic force smaller than that of the return spring 33 and biases the plunger 10 in the direction such that the plunger 10 protrudes from the one end of the cylinder 9.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】チェーンの張力変化やばたつきに追随して適切な推力を発生するチェーンテンショナとする。【解決手段】一端が開口し他端が閉じた筒状のシリンダ9と、シリンダ9の内周で軸方向に摺動可能に支持されシリンダ9内への挿入端が開口しシリンダ9からの突出端が閉塞した筒状のプランジャ10と、プランジャ10をシリンダ9の一端から突出する方向に付勢するリターンスプリング33と、プランジャ10の軸方向移動に伴って容積が変化するようにシリンダ9内に形成された圧力室18と、プランジャ10の内部から圧力室18へのオイルの流れのみを許容するチェックバルブ20と、シリンダ9の外側から内側へオイルを導入する給油通路31と、リターンスプリング33よりも小さい弾性力を有しプランジャ10をシリンダ9の一端から突出する方向に付勢する補助スプリング34とを備えるチェーンテンショナとした。【選択図】図3
