Abstract
In a variable-capacity swash-plate type compressor, which can vary the outlet capacity by controlling an inclination angle of a swash plate, the swash plate is aligned by contacting a washer (19) with a tapered surface to the swash plate (18). Thus, in a case where a compression operation is not carried out or in a case where a compression operation is carried out at a small outlet capacity regarded as zero substantially, the noises, etc., which generate between the swash plate and a driving shaft (6), are inhibited.
