Abstract
A piston type compressor having a drive plate (swash plate), wherein sliding friction between the drive plate and shoes is reduced and the compressor is made smaller by slidably attaching the shoes engaged with spherical ends of pistons to a shoe holding plate formed with guide grooves in the radial direction and supporting the shoe holding plate by the drive plate through a thrust bearing. The drive plate is connected to an arm of the shaft side through a double slide link mechanism to enable it to be supported by only a front end of the front housing.
