Abstract: Provided is a rotary compressor excellent in energy saving performance and reliability by improving sliding performance of a sliding portion and ensuring sealability in a working chamber. An oil groove is formed at a position facing a vane end face on an end plate. The oil groove communicates with an inside of a sealed container, and is exposed in a gap between a leading end surface of a vane and an outer peripheral surface of an annular piston formed when the leading end surface of the vane is in abutment on the outer peripheral surface of the annular piston.

Abstract: In a vertical cylindrical hermetically sealed container, a rotary compressor includes a motor unit and a compression unit below the motor unit. The compression unit includes a shaft having an eccentric portion, a piston shaped to fit into the eccentric portion, a flat plate-shaped vane pressed against an outer circumferential surface of the piston, and a cylinder that accommodates the piston and the vane and forms a suction chamber and a compression chamber. The rotary compressor stores, in the hermetically sealed container, lubricating oil of which amount causes immersion of a part of the compression unit. The rotary compressor has a hollow portion on a lower end side of the shaft, and has an oil supply diagonal hole that is inclined with respect to a rotation axis of the shaft and causes the hollow portion and an upper end of the eccentric portion to communicate with each other.

Abstract: A droplet jetting device that includes a recording head section, a pressure sensor and a regulation pump is provided. The recording head section includes a recording head that jets droplets from nozzles and records an image at a recording medium. The pressure sensor is provided at the recording head section and senses a pressure of liquid supplied to the recording head by a main pump from a main tank. The main tank is disposed at a position away from the recording head section. The regulation pump is provided at the recording head section that is smaller in scale than the main pump and regulates pressure of the liquid such that the pressure of the liquid sensed by the pressure sensor is constant.

Abstract: Ink is supplied to a supply tank from a second buffer tank, and ink is pressure-fed from the supply tank to a head. Further, ink is supplied from the second buffer tank to a recovery tank, and ink is pressure-fed from the recovery tank to the head. In both pressure-feedings, ink containing air bubbles within the head is recovered at a first buffer tank. The ink, that contains the air bubbles and is recovered at the first buffer tank, is sent to the second buffer tank via an ink flow path. A degassing section is provided on the ink flow path, and a degassing process is carried out while ink is being fed.
