VARIABLE CAPACITY WOBBLE PLATE COMPRESSOR

A variable capacity wobble plate compressor includes a drive shaft arranged in a housing, bearings arranged in a portion of a cylinder block of the housing toward a crankcase within the housing for rotatably supporting the drive shaft, and a fixing member inserted into a portion of the cylinder block toward a discharge pressure chamber for fixing discharge valves in place. A high pressure-introducing passage is formed through the fixing member and extends from the discharge pressure chamber to the bearings. The high pressure-introducing passage introduces compression medium having high pressure from the discharge pressure chamber to the bearings so that the compression medium having high pressure leaks through the bearings into the crankcase.
