Abstract
A balancer housing of a balancer device disposed to face an oil pan below a crankshaft of an engine, includes oil discharge bores for discharging an oil accumulated in the balancer housing with the rotation of balancer weights. The oil discharge bores are covered by baffle plates for inhibiting the turbulence of a surface of the oil stored in the oil pan. Thus, it is possible to inhibit the entrance of the oil into the balancer housing through the oil discharge bores without provision of a special cover member for covering the oil discharge bores.
