A swash-plate-type compressor of a double-headed-piston configuration, wherein: a front intake chamber is formed set apart from a swash plate chamber so as to be positioned in a narrow space between circumferentially arranged front cylinder bores; and an intake-chamber-communication path is formed in a cylinder block, the intake-chamber-communication path allowing the front intake chamber and a shaft hole to communicate. A front-bore-communication path is formed on the cylinder block, the communication path allowing each of the plurality of front cylinder bores to communicate with the shaft hole. A front rotary valve is provided on a rotating shaft in which a lead-in groove is formed. The lead-in groove allows the intake-chamber communication path and the front-bore communication path to communicate in the stated order, while the lead-in groove rotates integrally with the rotating shaft. In the compact swash-plate-type compressor any decrease in pulsation or intake efficiency is minimized. |
