PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shock absorbing structure for an idler, enabling to absorb the shock of the rollers of a roller chain during first abutting on idler sprockets when engaging therewith while maintaining the function for a long period. SOLUTION: In the shock absorbing structure for the idler 1, one approximately radial oil supply hole 2c is provided in a supporting shaft 2, and the supporting shaft 2 is fixed to an engine block (a fixed body) 9 in the state that the oil supply hole 2c is positioned to be directed to a position where the rollers 5 first abut on the standard-toothform idler sprockets 3 when engaging therewith. The idler sprockets 3 have a plurality of approximately radial oil jet nozzles 3b whose outlets are opened to tooth bottoms 3a, opposed to the oil supply hole 2c in the radial direction. The oil supply hole 2c is communicated with an oil pump (an oil supply source) 11 through an oil storage part 10. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
