A valve opening/closing timing controlling apparatus includes a housing
member 3 rotatable together with a timing gear 110 (drive member), a
rotor member 2 rotatably assembled with the housing member 3, a vane 70
portion of the rotor member forming, within the housing member 3, a
phase-advanced oil chamber R1 and a phase-lagged oil chamber R2, the
rotor member being rotatable together with a cam shaft 10, a torsion coil
spring 55 for urging the rotor member 2 relative to the housing member 3
in a phase advancing direction, and a phase-advanced oil passage
(hydraulic circuit) 65 or a phase-lagged oil passage (hydraulic circuit)
66 a hydraulic circuit for controlling feeding/discharging of work oil to
or from the phase-advanced oil chamber R1 or the phase-lagged oil chamber
R2. The torsion coil spring 55 has one end 55a thereof fixed to the
housing member 3 and the other end 55b thereof fixed to a projection 28
provided on the rotor member 2.
