Abstract

In a scroll compressor, an anti-rotation mechanism is interposed between a back surface of an end plate of an orbiting scroll member and a flat surface of a frame facing the back surface. A seal mechanism or a thrust bearing portion is provided on the surfaces of a disc member of the anti-rotation mechanism which are maintained in contact with the back surface of the end plate of the orbiting scroll member and the flat surface of the frame.
