Abstract: In a fluid apparatus used as a compressor, a swing support member is constructed of a hook-type adjustable joint, and supports a swing member in capable of swinging while restricting the swing member from rotating about a center axis of a shaft of the compressor. A variable mechanism portion is constructed of a rotary member rotatable around the shaft, the swing member and the like. A slant center around which the swing member swings is made to substantially correspond to a center of gravity of the variable mechanism portion. Therefore, a slant moment, for changing a slant angle of the swing member, is not structurally generated. Accordingly, even when the compressor operates, large vibration and large noise can be prevented, thereby improving durability of the compressor.

Abstract: According to the invention, a compressor having a threaded screw connection portion formed directly on a fitting portion of the housing is provided. Since no through bolt or the like for connecting two-parts of the housing is used, the diameter of the housing can be reduced. However, in a case that a suction port and discharge port do not align with an external mounting structure, a mounting means able to slide on the housing and adjust the positions of mounting brackets at least in the direction of rotation is added.

Abstract: A piston type compressor having a drive plate (swash plate), wherein sliding friction between the drive plate and shoes is reduced and the compressor is made smaller by slidably attaching the shoes engaged with spherical ends of pistons to a shoe holding plate formed with guide grooves in the radial direction and supporting the shoe holding plate by the drive plate through a thrust bearing. The drive plate is connected to an arm of the shaft side through a double slide link mechanism to enable it to be supported by only a front end of the front housing.

Abstract: According to the invention, a compressor having a screw connection portion formed at a fitting portion of the housing is provided. As no through bolt, etc., for connecting a plurality of parts of the housing is used, the diameter of the housing becomes small. However, in a case that a suction port and discharge port do not align with some objective equipment, a mounting means able to slide on the housing and adjust the positions of mounting brackets at least in the direction of rotation is added.
