摘要

A piston for a swash plate type compressor including a head portion which includes a cylindrical body portion whose open end is closed by a closure member, and an engaging portion which is formed integrally with the head portion on the side remote from the open end and which engages a swash plate of the compressor, wherein: the body portion includes a hollow cylindrical section whose inner circumferential surface is provided with a plurality of axially extending reinforcing projections, each of which protrudes from the inner circumferential surface in a radially inward direction of the hollow cylindrical section and which extends in a direction parallel to a centerline of the hollow cylindrical section over a substantially entire axial length thereof, the closure member being fixed to the body portion such that the closure member is held in abutting contact with an end face of each of the reinforcing projections on the side of the open end of the body portion.
