Abstract
An improved slant axis rotary mechanism including a housing defining a chamber, a shaft journalled in the housing and having an angular eccentric within the chamber and a rotor within the chamber and journalled on the eccentric. The eccentric includes a radially outwardly extending thrust collar located between the ends of the eccentric. The rotor includes a hub and a peripheral flange and is defined by a centerpiece including the flange and part of the hub and having a bearing pad embracing one side of the thrust collar. An intermediate piece is secured to the centerpiece on one side thereof and has a bearing pad embracing the other side of the thrust collar. A pair of covers each defining part of the hub, are respectively secured to the centerpiece and to the intermediate piece and partially cover the latter.
