Horizontal scroll compressor having oil path extending to upper part of thrust face of compressor structure
 In a horizontal scroll compressor, a compressor structure and an electric motor, both disposed in a hermetic housing, are coupled with each other through a rotating shaft extending substantially horizontally. Lubricating oil accumulated in the bottom of the hermetic housing is supplied to a thrust face of a supporting frame of the compressor structure. To spread enough lubricating oil over the thrust face and prevent seizure and scoring of the thrust face, the lubricating oil is accumulated in a central concave part of the frame, and oil paths are provided to lead the lubricating oil to the upper part of the thrust face of the frame and to discharge excess lubricating oil from the lower part of the thrust face.
