Abstract
A variable displacement swash plate type compressor which incorporates a swash plate slidably mounted on a drive shaft, the swash plate having side walls that taper toward one another for constant point contact with a ball bearing of an associated piston which results in a smaller required diameter for the swash plate and smoother operation of the compressor over prior art structures.
