A vibrating compressor which may be employed in refrigerators is provided which includes an elastic mechanism designed to produce reaction against movement of a piston through a moving mechanism such as an electric motor to oscillate the piston to change the volume of a compression chamber. The elastic mechanism consists of a plurality of discs connecting at the center with the piston. Each of the discs has slits curved in a scroll fashion to form spring arms. The discs are laid to overlap each other and shifted in angular position from each other so that the arms of one of the discs coincide with the slits of adjacent one of the discs, thereby avoiding direct contact of the arms of adjacent two of the discs.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A vibrating compressor comprising:an enclosed casing;a block having formed therein a cylinder within which a piston reciprocates to change a volume of a compression chamber;a moving mechanism moving the piston within the cylinder in a first direction; andan elastic unit including a plurality of plates each of which is connected at a first portion to said block and at a second portion to the piston and each of which has formed therein at least one slit curved to define an arm which is elastically flexed to urge the piston in a second direction opposite the first direction in response to the movement of the piston through said moving mechanism, the slit of each of the plates being greater in width than the arm, the plates being disposed adjacent to each other so that the arm of each of the plates overlaps with the slit of adjacent one of the plates.
