1. A scroll compressor in which a scroll compression element is stored in an upper portion of a closed container having an oil reservoir for lubricating oil in an inner bottom portion thereof, is driven by a crank shaft of an electromotive element stored below the scroll compression element to compress a refrigerant gas absorbed into a compression chamber of the scroll compression element, and consists of an upper fixed scroll member having a spiral wrap formed on a mirror plate and a lower orbiting scroll member having formed on a mirror plate a spiral wrap which is orbitally engaged with the spiral wrap of the fixed scroll member to form the compression chamber, the orbiting scroll member has in a central axis portion of the under surface of the mirror plate a bush portion having an engagement hole to be engaged with an upper end portion of the crank shaft, a space formed between the engagement hole of the bush portion and the upper end portion of the crank shaft serves as an oil input port, and lubricating oil which goes up from the oil reservoir through an oil passage formed within the crank shaft by an oil pump unit is supplied from the oil input port into the compression chamber, whereinoil injection communication passages communicating with the compression chamber from the oil input port in the central axis portion are formed in the mirror plate of the orbiting scroll member;

  • and open ends on the compression chamber side of the oil injection communicating passages are made open to positions near the terminal portions of the spiral wraps for an initial-stage compression room formed by the spiral wraps of the fixed scroll member and the orbiting scroll member.
