Abstract: A maximum inclination setting projection comes into contact with a rotary support in a region closer to a point corresponding to a top dead center than an imaginary two-part dividing plane, thereby establishing a maximum angle of inclination of a cam plate. Thus, a hinge mechanism is not required to support any proportion of a compressive load in the region closer to the point corresponding to the top dead center than the imaginary two-part dividing plane when the cam plate is in its maximum angle of inclination. Bulbous parts of guide pins do not come in contact with halves of cylindrical inside surfaces of guide holes closer to the rotary support, and there is made a clearance between the bulbous part of the guide pin and the guide hole and between the bulbous part of the guide pin and the guide hole, interrupting transmission of the compressive load between them.

Abstract: In a swash plate type compressor, a rotational shaft makes a piston reciprocate through a swash plate. A suction valve plate is connected to an eccentric portion of the shaft and caused to orbit around an axis of the shaft by rotation of the shaft.

Therefore, the valve plate substantially orbits about the shaft axis without rotating and opens and closes the suction port. A relative velocity between the valve plate and the end wall when the valve plate orbits without rotating is smaller than when the valve plate only rotates.
