PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a function of air vent to a relief valve, and to achieve simplification, the reduction of weight and the reduction of the size of a chain tensioner. SOLUTION: A plunger 13 is installed into a cylinder chamber 12 in a housing 11, a valve mounting hole 30 making a pressure chamber 22 communicate with the outside is provided on the outer peripheral upper part of the housing 11, the relief valve 31 is installed therein, and a fastening screw 36 is fitted to a female screw 30a on the inner periphery of the valve mounting hole 30, and the relief valve 31 is fixed. A passage 38 is formed on the outer periphery of a valve sleeve 32 so as to make a screw space formed of a screw fitting part of the female screw 30a and the fastening screw 36 communicate with the pressure chamber 22. A spring washer 39 is installed between the fastening screw 36 and the housing 11. The pressure chamber 22 and the outside are made to communicate with each other through a separation part 39a of the spring washer 39 and the screw space of the screw fitting part and the passage 38, and air in the pressure chamber 22 is delivered. When pressure in the pressure chamber 22 is higher than set pressure, the pressure is delivered by the relief valve 31. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
