A compressor includes a drive shaft, a housing, an annular rotor, and cradles. The rotor has cradle windows. The rotor can rotate within the rotor chamber together with the drive shaft while being in sliding contact with the housing at the circumferential surface. The cradles are provided in the cradle windows to be pivotable about pivot axes. When pivoting, the cradles maintain the compression chambers in an airtight state by being in contact with the housing at pivoting ends of the cradles, the pivoting ends extending along the direction parallel to the axis. The rotor chamber includes an outer operation chamber located on the outside of the rotor, and an inner operation chamber located on the inside of the rotor. The cradles, and the outer operation chamber and/or the inner operation chamber form the compression chambers, the volumes of which are varied by the rotation of the rotor.

A cylinder-rotation-type compressor includes a discharge valve that is disposed in a cylinder and configured by a reed valve, a valve body portion that closes a discharge hole provided in the cylinder, and a support portion that couples the valve body portion with a fixing portion fixed to the cylinder. A shape of the valve body portion and a shape of the support portion are substantially symmetrical with respect to a line segment extending in a radial direction of a rotating axis. The valve body portion is disposed on a radially outer side of a connection portion of the fixing portion and the support portion.
