Abstract: In a swash plate type compressor in which a shoe (3) is interposed between a swash plate (5) and a reciprocally movable piston (2), a concave curved surface (21a) is made at an end of the piston to have an elliptical portion with an elliptical shape in cross section. The shoe has a convex spherical surface inserted into the concave curved surface and reciprocally moves the piston in accordance with a rotation of the swash plate.

Abstract: A compressor includes a housing having a first casing which encloses a compression mechanism and a second casing releasably attached to one end of the first casing. The second casing supporting a pair of bearings which in turn rotatably support a drive shaft. The first one of the bearings is positioned adjacent the first casing and the second bearing is spaced therefrom toward the driven end of the drive shaft. A sealing mechanism is disposed about the drive shaft and between the bearings for sealing the compressor housing and preventing refrigerant or lubricating oil from leaking therefrom.The second bearing includes a gripping mechanism on the outermost radial surface thereof. The gripping mechanism is preferably an annular groove formed in the outermost radial surface of the bearing. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the casing which supports the bearing from the bearing before pulling the bearing off of the shaft.

Abstract: A scroll-type refrigerant compressor unit is provided in which any deflections and undesired vibrations of the moving parts are prevented by a simple construction and in which the orbiting scroll member is prevented from rotating by a simple mechanism. The disk rotor having the drive pin is mounted on an inner end of a drive shaft which is rotatably mounted through the front end plate of the compressor housing. The disk rotor is rotatably supported on the inner surface of the front end plate through a thrust bearing. The orbiting scroll member is rotatably mounted on the drive pin. The orbiting scroll member has a radial flange integrally formed with the scroll member, the flange is supported on the disk rotor through a thrust bearing. Therefore, the drive shaft, the disk rotor, the drive pin and the orbiting scroll member are supported without undesired deflection and vibration during operation.
