Abstract
A hinge mechanism for a variable displacement swash plate type compressor including an arm extending from a rotor and a pair of arms extending from a swash plate hub, wherein a pair of shoes are interposed between the arm of the rotor and each of the arms of the swash plate hub to facilitate a tilting of a swash plate disposed on the swash plate hub, the hinge mechanism militating against undesirable contact between the arms of the swash plate hub and the arm of the rotor.
