A valve timing control device includes a driving side rotational member
synchronously rotatable with a crankshaft of an internal combustion
engine, a driven side rotational member synchronously rotatable with a
camshaft that controls an opening and closing operation of valves of the
internal combustion engine, a retarded angle chamber, an advanced angle
chamber, a fluid supply and discharge mechanism, a lock mechanism for
locking the relative rotational phase at a predetermined lock phase, a
phase displacement restriction mechanism switching the relative
rotational phase between a restricted state and an unrestricted state,
the phase displacement restriction mechanism includes a recess portion
and an insertion member so as to achieve the restricted state and the
unrestricted state, and a retention mechanism for retaining the phase
displacement restriction mechanism in the unrestricted state in which the
insertion member is retracted from the recess portion.
