Summary: | A hydraulic tappet including: a bottomed cylindrical body; a plunger slidably fitted in the body; a check valve mounted at one end of the plunger so that the check valve is interposed between a high-pressure chamber and an oil chamber, the high-pressure chamber being formed between a closed end of the body and one end of the plunger, the oil chamber being formed within the plunger; and a return spring mounted between the body and the plunger to bias the plunger in a direction to increase the volume of the high-pressure chamber. The return spring is disposed outwardly of the body. Thus, it is possible to decrease the volume of the high-pressure chamber to provide a reduction in size of the hydraulic tappet. |
