Abstract
Abstract A rotary compressor comprises a rotor, a cylinder having an inner surface slidably contacting the rotor at one or more portions thereof, side plates disposed on both sides of the cylinder for supporting a rotor driving shaft, and axial insert type discharge valves disposed inside the cylinder. The cylinder includes an inner cylinder having an inner surface slidably contacting the rotor, and an outer cylinder surrounding the whole of the outer periphery of the inner cylinder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A rotary compressor comprising: a rotor; a cylinder having an inner surface slidably contacting said rotor at one or more portions thereof; side plates disposed on both sides of said cylinder for supporting a rotor driving shaft; one or more compression chambers defined by said rotor, said cylinder and said side plates; axial openings formed in said cylinder; and axial insert type discharge valves disposed inside said axial openings, wherein said cylinder includes an inner cylinder having an inner surface slidably contacting said rotor, and an outer cylinder surrounding the whole of an outer periphery of said inner cylinder, said inner cylinder and said outer cylinder are inseparably connected with each other, said axial openings each include an inner surface defined by said inner cylinder and said outer cylinder, and said inner cylinder is formed with discharge bores for providing communication between said axial openings and said compression chambers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A rotary compressor comprising: a rotor; a cylinder having an inner surface slidably contacting said rotor at one or more portions thereof; side plates disposed on both sides of said cylinder for supporting a rotor driving shaft; one or more compression chambers defined by said rotor, said cylinder and said side plates; axial openings formed in said cylinder; and axial insert type discharge valves disposed inside said axial openings, wherein said cylinder includes an inner cylinder having an inner surface slidably contacting said rotor, and an outer cylinder surrounding the whole of an outer periphery of said inner cylinder, said inner cylinder and said outer cylinder are inseparably connected with each other, said axial openings each include an inner surface defined by said inner cylinder and said outer cylinder, and said inner cylinder is formed with discharge bores for providing communication between said axial openings and said compression chambers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
