Patent ID: 8152483

Claim:
A variable capacity compressor comprising: a rotating member fixed to a drive shaft and rotating integrally with the drive shaft; a tilting member tiltably attached to the drive shaft; a linkage mechanism that links the rotating member and the tilting member at a position corresponding to an upper dead center of the tilting member, and has a sandwich structure along a rotating direction to transfer rotation of the rotating member to the tilting member and guide a tilting movement of the tilting member; and a tilting movement guide that is provided between the rotating member and the tilting member and anterior to the linkage mechanism in the rotating direction, and guides changes of an inclination angle of the tilting member with respect to the drive shaft, wherein the tilting movement guide has a rotating member projection formed at the rotating member and a tilting member projection formed at the tilting member that contacts the rotating member projection, and the tilting movement guide has an inclined face on the rotating member projection and the inclined face is formed along movement locus of a fore-end of the tilting member projection so that, while the inclination angle of the tilting member is changed with guiding by the linkage mechanism, the tilting member projection always slidably contacts the inclined face on the rotating member projection.
