Electrolytic plating, electroless plating, lubricant coating, phophatizing or hardening is applied on at least a second sliding surface with a second shoe in the side opposite to the compression space.
Abstract:
An aqueous phosphoric bonding solution consists essentially of phosphoric acid, a source of magnesium ions, and a leachable corrosion inhibitor. The bonding solution is stable with respect to inorganic metal particles, such as aluminum, which are admixed to the bonding solution for the preparation of a coating slurry. Metal parts coated with the coating compositions have very satisfactory properties such as heat and corrosion resistance.

Abstract:
In order to enhance the seizure resistance of a swash plate, which is the sliding part of a swash-plate type compressor, copper alloy is flame-sprayed on the swash plate. Depending upon the necessity, the following control of structure/composition: (a) a mixed structure is provided such that atomized bronze powder, which is melted during flame spraying, and an unmelted atomized structure are mixed; (b) Pb is not contained or contained slightly in the melted structure: (c) Sn, P, Al, Ag, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Zn, Pb and/or Bi is added to the copper; (d) hard matters are added to copper alloy; and, (e) an intermediate layer of Ni or the like is formed between the flame-sprayed layer and the substrate, is carried out.
Abstract:
A swash plate type compressor having a cylinder block with cylinder bores disposed parallel to the axis of the cylinder block. A rotary shaft rotatably mounted within the cylinder block carries an aluminum swash plate. The swash plate is fixed to the rotary shaft and has two facial surfaces and an end surface. The facial surfaces have a coating of between 0.0005 inches to 0.002 inches of a heat curable, cross-linked polyfluoro elastomer bonded directly to the aluminum, a lubricious additive and a load bearing additive. A piston reciprocally fitted within the cylinder bore contains shoes which slideably intervene between the piston and the swash plate facial surfaces and reciprocate the pistons by rotation of the swash plate. The coating on the swash plate permits the use of slow silicon alloy aluminum without the need of metal plating or high finish polishing.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine is provided having pairs of separately designated combustion and exhaust cylinders for implementing a two-stage exhaust system which derives work from the combustion gases of the combustion cylinders. The piston within each exhaust cylinder is timed by the engine's crankshaft to lead its corresponding combustion cylinder's piston by roughly a 30 to 90 degree crankshaft angle. Ignition of a combustible fuel mixture within the combustion cylinder produces combustion gases. The expansion of the combustion gases drives the combustion piston during a power stroke, and are expelled from the combustion cylinder during an exhaust stroke. The combustion gases exit the combustion cylinder via a fluidic passage to the exhaust cylinder. The combustion gases are received by the exhaust cylinder at the start of its piston's intake stroke. The timing between the combustion and exhaust piston is such that the combustion gases exert a force upon the exhaust piston during its intake stroke. From there, the combustion gases are expelled from the exhaust cylinder during its piston's exhaust stroke.
Abstract:
A swash-plate type compressor having a housing, a drive shaft rotatably supported by the housing, a swash-plate slantly secured on the drive shaft, and a plurality of pistons fitted in a cylinder bore formed in correspondence to each of the pistons parallelly to the drive shaft and provided with a pair of concave spherical surface formed therein. Each of the pistons is engaged with the swash-plate via a pair of shoes of substantially semi-spherical shape. The shoe has a convex spherical surface which is in sliding contact with the concave spherical surface of the piston and a flat-side surface which is in sliding contact with the swash-plate. The flat-side surface consists of a chamfered surface annularly formed on the outer portion thereof and a centrally left substantially flat surface with a diameter as large as about 60-90% of that of the whole flat-side surface. The substantially flat surface is formed into an extremely gentle convex surface with a height less than 15 .mu.m at the peak located in the center thereof. The whole surface of the shoe is covered by a solid lubricating film.
