Abstract
A compressor includes a member with a recess in which a reed discharge valve is disposed. The recess has a discharge hole, a fixation hole, and an annular projection formed around the discharge hole. The discharge valve includes a fixed portion, a flexible portion, and a head portion to open/close the annular projection. A protruding portion is formed at a rear end portion of the fixed portion. A first side surface of the protruding portion is designed to be substantially flush with a side surface of the fixed portion, which surface is closer to a center of the member. When the discharge valve rotates in a predetermined direction about the fixation hole after the discharge valve is disposed in the recess but before being fixed to the member, the first side surface of the protruding portion comes into contact with a side wall of the recess.
