PURPOSE:To enable a vane to be pressed against the peripheral wall of a cylinder in a stable manner, by a method wherein a leaf spring, having a holding part formed about in the same shape as the shape in cross section of the bottom of a vane slot, is located in a space in the bottom of the vane slot. CONSTITUTION:A vane is engaged with a vane slot 12 to which a rotor 2 of a vane compressor is situated, and a leaf spring 14, which energizes the vane in a protruding direction, is located in a space in the bottom of the vane slot. A holding part 14a of the leaf spring 14 is formed about in the same shape as the shape in cross section of the vane slot. Further, since a holding projection 14 is formed on the lower part of the holding part 14a, the leaf spring is reliably held. The vane is pressed through the resilient force of the leaf spring, and this enables stable running of the vane even during the starting of a compressor. |
