| (54) | Boom of a working machine |
| (57) A main front boom member (second boom member) (8) includes a pair of side plates
(20) configured to sandwich a distal end of a main boom member (first boom member)
(6) from both sides of the main boom member in a horizontal direction at base ends
of the side plates. The pair of side plates are connected to each other in the horizontal
direction by a rigid member (23), and a closed cross-section portion is defined by
the rigid member and the side plates. Side-plate extending sections are formed by
extending the side plates from the connection-pin insertion sections in a direction
away from the boom connection pin (horizontal shaft). A cylinder attachment part,
through which a cylinder supporting pin (27) extends, is connected to the side-plate
extending sections. The cylinder supporting pin supports one end of the boom cylinder
such that the boom cylinder (11) is rotatable. At least a portion of the cylinder
supporting pin is disposed closer to the main boom member (6) than the closed cross-section
portion in a linear direction connecting the boom foot pin (first-boom member base-end
pin) and the horizontal-shaft insertion sections.
