Abstract:
A variable nozzle unit is used in a turbine having a gas inflow passage which is sandwiched between a first flow passage wall surface and a second flow passage wall surface facing each other and through which a gas flowing from a scroll flow passage into a turbine impeller flows. The variable nozzle unit includes nozzle vanes, each of which is rotatably supported on both sides thereof by the first flow passage wall surface side and the second flow passage wall surface side and pivots about a pivotal axis parallel to the rotational axis of the turbine impeller in the gas inflow passage. An end face of the nozzle vane is formed with a cut face that is located closer to a leading edge than the pivotal axis, is cut out such that a gap between the cut face and the second flow passage wall surface is greater than other regions, and intersects the leading edge.

Claim (Index 2):
The variable nozzle unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the nozzle vanes are biased toward the one flow passage wall surface in a direction of the pivotal axis during driving of the turbine.
