A rotary compressor including an orbiting piston is disposed within a cylinder bore. A drive shaft with an attached eccentric causes the piston to orbit within the cylinder block. Rotation of the piston is prevented by a pin radially disposed on the piston and slidably engaged through a recess in the cylinder bore. A plastic pinion is interfit about the radially outward end of the pin and disposed within the recess to prevent piston rotation and reduce re-expansion volume.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 24, 1994 and granted June 9, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 24, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 24, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
