A generally spherical sleeve (12) is axially slidably disposed on the drive shaft of a variable displacement compressor, a journal (14) is disposed on the sleeve, and a swash plate is tightly disposed on the journal. For achieving a reliable pivotal movement of the journal (14) relative to the sleeve, first and second parallel flat surfaces (250,256) are provided at diametrically opposed portions of the sleeve. Third and fourth parallel flat surfaces (300,306) are formed on diametrically opposed portions of an inner wall of a generally cylindrical bore defined in the journal (14). The sleeve is disposed in the generally cylindrical bore of the journal in such a manner that the first and second parallel flat surfaces slidably abut against the third and fourth parallel flat surfaces respectively. Pins (130,136) are used for connecting the sleeve and the journal to permit the pivotal movement of the journal relative to the sleeve on flat instead of curved surfaces in conventional compressors. <IMAGE> |
