Abstract
A compressor may include a compression mechanism, a driveshaft, and a lever. The compression mechanism may include orbiting and non-orbiting scroll members meshingly engaging each other. The driveshaft may include an eccentric crank pin engaging the orbiting scroll member such that rotation of the driveshaft about a first axis causes orbital motion of the orbiting scroll relative to the non-orbiting scroll. The lever may be mounted for rotation with the driveshaft about the first axis and may be rotatable relative to the driveshaft about a second axis.
