Abstract: A shoe housing 3 is connected to and rotatable together with an input shaft. A vane rotor 9 is connected to an output shaft and accommodated in shoe housing 3 so as to cause a rotation within a predetermined angle with respect to shoe housing 3. Vane rotor 9 and shoe housing 3 cooperatively define hydraulic chambers 10, 11, 12 and 13 whose volumes are variable in accordance with a rotational position of vane rotor 9 with respect to shoe housing 3. A locking member 7 is accommodated in vane rotor 9 and shiftable in a direction parallel to a rotational axis common to shoe housing 3 and vane rotor 9. And, an engaging bore 20, formed on a front plate 4 secured to shoe housing 3, receives locking member 7 through a tapered surface. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to provide a control apparatus for varying a rotational or angular phase between the input and output shafts, while adequately maintaining the durability of the apparatus with a simple configuration easy to manufacture and suitable for downsizing without causing hammering noises or increasing operational resistances.

Abstract translation: 靴壳体3与输​​入轴连接并与其一起旋转。 叶片转子9连接到输出轴并且容纳在鞋壳3中，以便相对于鞋壳3旋转预定角度。叶片转子9和鞋壳3协同地限定液压室10,11,12和 13，其体积根据叶片转子9相对于鞋壳体3的旋转位置是可变的。锁定构件7容纳在叶片转子9中，并且可沿与鞋壳3和叶片转子共同的旋转轴线平行的方向 并且，形成在固定到鞋壳体3的前板4上的接合孔20通过锥形表面接收锁定构件7。 利用这种布置，可以提供一种用于改变输入和输出轴之间的旋转角度或角度相位的控制装置，同时以容易制造的简单构造充分保持装置的耐久性，并且适合于小型化而不引起锤击噪声或 增加操作电阻。
