Abstract
A first swash plateis coupled to a drive shaftto be rotatable integrally with the drive shaft. Single head pistonsare coupled to the first swash platevia shoesA,B. Rotation of the drive shaftrotates the first swash plate, which causes the pistonsto reciprocate and compress refrigerant gas. The first swash platesupports an annular second swash plateto be rotatable relative to the first swash platevia a ball bearing. The second swash plateis arranged between the first swash plateand the shoesB that receive a compressive load to be slidable with respect to the first swash plateand the shoesB. Therefore, the first swash plate reliably slides with respect to the second swash plate.
