ABSTRACT:
A variable displacement compressor includes a hinge mechanism having a pair of support arms integrally formed with and protruding from the drive plate, and guide pins which connect the swash plate with the support arms. Each support arm is formed having a unshaped cutaway portion defining a channel for supporting ball portion of the hinge mechanism. The ball portion pivotably secured in the channel portion of the support arm, is attached to guide pin which in turn connects to a bracket protruding from the swash plate. The ball portion transmits pressure & rotational forces generated by the pistons and rotational force of the drive plate respectively. The forces cause the ball portion of the hinge mechanism to impinge upon pre selected surface area of the u-shaped support arm. By impinging on these preselected surface areas of the u-shaped support arm, the ball portion will not disengage from the channel portion of the support arm. Moreover the shape of the support arm increases the motility of the ball portion and associate guide pin secured within the support arm. The guide pin is slidably inserted into either the support arm or the swash plate, and is rotatably supported by means of the support arm.
