Claim:
A compressor comprising: a shell; a compression mechanism contained within said shell and including a compression member supported within said shell, said compression member including a passage extending radially through a radially outer surface of said compression member; and a sealing apparatus contained within said shell and including a first seal member and an actuator, said first seal member including a pivot region that pivotally couples said first seal member to a structure contained within said shell that is rotationally fixed relative said compression member, said pivot region fixing said first seal member from rotation about said radially outer surface, said first seal member being movable from a first position wherein a sealing portion of said first seal member is in a sealing engagement with said surface, generally preventing a fluid flow through said passage, and a second position wherein said sealing portion of said first seal member is displaced radially outwardly from said surface, generally allowing fluid flow through said passage, said actuator engaged with said first seal member and configured to selectively displace said first seal member between said first and second positions.
