IMPROVED HINGE MECHANISM FOR A VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR

摘要

A hinge assembly for coupling a rotor assembly to a swash plate assembly in a variable displacement compressor includes a hub integrally formed with the swash plate assembly and a pair of spaced part arms coupled to the hub and extending outwardly therefrom. Each of the arms having an aperture formed in a distal end thereof. At least one support member extending from the rotor assembly and having a slot formed therein. A hinge pin is slideably received in the slot of the at least one support member and received in the aperture of each of the arms to hingedly couple the arms to the at least one support member.
