Abstract

A recess is provided in the wrap of a stationary scroll in the vicinity of a terminal end thereof on the side of a suction chamber, so that an orbital scroll can be prevented from collision against the stationary scroll, thereby avoiding breakage of both scroll wraps and occurrence of noises. Further, with the provision of another recess in the orbital scroll wrap in the vicinity of a terminal end thereof, the orbital scroll can be prevented from colliding against the stationary scroll, thereby preventing breakage of both scroll wraps and occurrence of noises.
