Abstract
Abstract A refrigerant compressor for automobile air-conditioning system is disclosed. The compressor comprises a front end plate member and a cylindrical casing attached to an end surface of the front end plate member. A polygonal shaped portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the front end plate member and a plurality of projections are formed on an opposite end of the housing from the polygonal shaped portion. The end surfaces of the projections are aligned on the same plane with each end surface of polygonal shaped portion. The end surfaces of the projections and the polygonal shaped portion have tapped holes for attaching mounting brackets. Therefore, a variety of suitable mounting arrangements can be used to mount the compressor and the mounting angle of the compressor can be adjusted.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
201 words
in a refrigerant compressor for an automobile air-conditioning system, a housing comprising a front end plate member and a separate casing removably connected to an end surface of said front end plate member, a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port being formed at fixed locations on said casing, means for adjusting the mounting angle of said compressor to accommodate the connection of said fluid inlet and outlet ports to the air-condition system in various engine compartments, said adjusting means including a polygonal shaped mounting portion with a plurality of first tapped holes and a plurality of second tapped holes, said polygonal shaped mounting portion being formed on one of said front end plate member and said casing and having more than five outwardly facing flat faces each disposed along a different plane, one of said first tapped holes being formed in each of said faces, the other of said front end plate member and said casing having said plurality of second tapped holes to be aligned with the tapped holes formed in said faces whereby the mounting angle of the compressor can be easily adjusted by the rotation of said compressor to rotatively position said faces and said ports.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
