Abstract
A variable displacement compressor has a crank chamber defined in a housing. A drive shaft is arranged in the housing. A piston is accommodated in the cylinder bore. A swash plate is connected to the piston to convert a rotation of the drive shaft. A retainer surface is arranged in the housing and extends substantially perpendicular to the axis of the drive shaft. A restricting mechanism is arranged between the swash plate and the retainer surface. The restricting mechanism receives the swash plate and restricts movement of the swash plate when the inclination of the swash plate decreases.
