A swash plate type variable displacement compressor includes a cylinder block defining a cylinder bore. A housing is fixed to the cylinder block and defines a crank chamber. A drive shaft is rotatably supported by the housing and the cylinder block. A swash plate is supported by the drive shaft in the crank chamber and is inclinable with respect to the axis of the drive shaft. A piston is accommodated in the cylinder bore so as to define a compression chamber in the cylinder bore and is coupled to the swash plate. A control mechanism includes a bleed passage for controlling the pressure in the crank chamber. The compressor is formed such that lubricating oil in the crank chamber is discharged into at least one of the suction chamber, the discharge chamber and the compression chamber while the inclination angle of the swash plate is substantially a maximum inclination angle.

A process of production of a compressor shoe superior in durability and reduced in manufacturing cost, wherein a process of quenching the shoe is performed in a vacuum, inert gas, or modified gas so as to prevent oxidation of the chrome and manganese of the surface of the material or the quenching process is performed after forming an antioxidation film on the surface of the material to prevent the oxidation of the chrome and manganese.

A single headed swash plate type compressor including, a housing with a crank chamber and cylinder bore, pistons arranged in cylinder bores, and a swash plate driven by a drive shaft. Each of the pistons has at one end thereof a bearing having axially spaced first and second bearing portions and an axially extending third portion interconnecting the first and second bearing portions. Shoes are slidably arranged between the swash plate and the first and second bearing portions for converting rotational movement of the swash plate into reciprocal movement of the pistons. An oil communication hole is arranged in and extends through the second bearing portion for fluid communication between the groove of the second bearing portion on the side remote from the cylinder bore and the crank chamber.

A piston type compressor compresses gas with a plurality of pistons reciprocated in a casing in accordance with the rotation of a drive shaft supported in the casing. The compressor comprises a plurality of casing components disposed along an axis of the drive shaft and mated with one another for forming the casing. A mechanism suppresses bending moment generated in one of the casing components when the casing components are fastened along a direction parallel to the axis of the drive shaft.

An improved scroll type compressor is disclosed. A moveable scroll is eccentrically connected to a rotary shaft and opposed to a fixed scroll for forming a compression chamber. The moveable scroll performs an orbital movement about an axis of the rotary shaft without rotating about its own axis. With the orbital movement, the moveable scroll reduces the volume of the compression chamber and compresses coolant gas therein. A fixed wall is disposed adjacent to the moveable scroll on the opposite side from the fixed scroll. The fixed wall receives a reaction force of the compressed gas applied to the moveable scroll. First elements disposed between the fixed wall and the moveable scroll transmit the reaction force from the moveable scroll to the fixed wall. Second elements are disposed independently from the first elements between the fixed wall and the moveable scroll for determining the orbit of the moveable scroll.

A scroll type compressor includes a fixed scroll having a fixed spiral element and a fixed end plate, and an orbiting scroll is revolvable without rotating itself in opposition to the fixed scroll. The orbiting scroll includes an orbiting spiral element and an orbiting end plate. A plurality of compression chambers, of which volumes are decreased in response to the revolution of the orbiting scroll, are defined between the scrolls. A discharge port opens to the discharge chambers. The thicknesses of initiating sections of the fixed and orbiting spiral elements are designed larger than those of remaining sections thereof. Sealing members having a spiral shape are slidably interposed between the fixed and orbiting end plates of the fixed and orbiting scrolls, and the initiating sections of the fixed and orbiting spiral elements are in opposition to the respective end plates. The cross sectional area of an initiating section of the sealing member, which is integrally movable with at least the orbiting scroll, is larger than that of remaining section thereof. The sealing member is capable of covering a part of the discharge port.

A continuously variable capacity swash plate type refrigerant compressor having a cylinder block defining therein a plurality of front and rear cylinder bores arranged around an axis of rotation of a drive shaft supported in the cylinder block, front and rear refrigerant suction chambers in front and rear housings attached to the ends of the cylinder block, an angularly inclined swash plate mounted on the drive shaft to be integrally rotated therewith and to be pivotable about a pivoting center to change an angle of inclination thereof, double-headed pistons reciprocated in the front and rear cylinder bores by the rotation of the swash plate in such a manner that the top dead center of the pistons in the rear cylinder bores is constantly set at a fixed position, front and rear suction passageways to suck the refrigerant before compression into the front and rear suction chambers, and a suction reducer for reducing a suction of the refrigerant gas by the rear suction passageway during the small capacity operation of the compressor to thereby generate a pressure differential between the front and rear suction chamber and obtain a flow of the lubricant contained refrigerant gas from the front suction chamber toward the rear suction chamber, while lubricating movable elements at the front side of the compressor.
