  • Patent number: 10690385
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an annular groove and an elastic portion are formed at an end portion of a main bearing on a side facing a cylinder chamber. An annular groove and an elastic portion is formed at an end portion of the sub-bearing on a side facing the cylinder chamber. A depth of the annular groove of the main bearing is formed larger than that of the sub-bearing. An outer peripheral surface of the elastic portion of the main bearing is formed in a straight shape so that thicknesses of a base portion and a tip portion of the elastic portion are the same. An outer peripheral surface of the elastic portion of the sub-bearing is formed in a tapered shape so that a thicknesses of a base portion of the elastic portion is larger than that of a tip portion of the elastic portion.
