Abstract
A scroll type compressor comprising mutually mating stationary and movable scroll members, a drive shaft, a counterweight, a slide key extending from the drive shaft, and a drive bush slidably fit on the slide key. The counterweight is immovably fit on the drive shaft. The slide key has a first axis offset from the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft for causing the movable scroll member to revolve around the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft, and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. In the second form of the compressor, the counterweight has a guide portion having a first axis offset from the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft for causing the movable scroll member to revolve around the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft, and a second axis. The drive bush is slidably fit on the guide portion. The drive bush is movable along the second axis of the slide key or the guide portion to a smaller extent in one direction by which the eccentricity between the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft and the longitudinal axis of the drive bush is increased, and to a greater extent in the other direction by which the eccentricity is decreased.
