Abstract
A variable displacement type compressor having a rotary shaft, a swash plate with a through hole into which the rotary shaft is inserted for inclining movement of the swash plate, a lug plate mounted on the rotary shaft, a hinge mechanism between the lug plate and the swash plate for guiding the inclining movement of the swash plate. The displacement of the compressor varies by adjusting the inclined angle of the swash plate. The swash plate is connected through the hinge mechanism to the rotary shaft on two points and directly contacts the rotary shaft at a single contact point located on the inner periphery of the through hole.
