Abstract
Abstract A round plate shape shoe for incorporation into a swash plate type compressor as an operative engaging element intervened between a rotatable swash plate and a reciprocal piston is structured to have a first flattened face slidably contacting the swash plate and a second face opposite to the first flattened face, the second face being formed with a recess for receiving a ball bearing, which has a spherical shape portion complementary with a part of the ball bearing and a round bore portion with a bottom. The spherical shape portion of the recess is concentric with the round bore portion.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
213 words
A shoe generally formed in a round shape and incorporated into a swash plate type compressor for transmitting an axial force from a rotating swash plate secured to a drive shaft, via a ball bearing, to a piston of a compressor which applies an axially reciprocal compression effect to a refrigerant within a cylinder bore of the compressor, comprising: a first flattened face slidably contacting said swash plate while said swash plate rotates with said drive shaft; a second face opposite to said first flattened face, said second face being formed with a recess for receiving therein said ball bearing, said recess having a spherical shape portion complementary with a part of said ball bearing and a round bore portion with a bottom thereof, said bottom of said round bore portion being a spherical surface, said round bore portion having a diameter between 40 and 85% of the diameter of said spherical shape portion at said second face, the thickness of said shoe between the bottom of said round bore portion and said first flattened face being in the range of 0.5 to 2 millimeters, said spherical shape portion being concentric with said round bore portion and wherein there is no connecting passage between said round bore portion and said first flattened face.
