Abstract
A structure for coupling a muffler for a linear compressor is disclosed. The structure includes a muffler including a hallow cylindrical inlet portion, and a contact portion having a predetermined area wherein one end of the inlet portion is outwardly and vertically curved, whereby one end of the inlet portion is inserted into a gas flow path of a piston, and one end of the contact portion contacts with an inner surface of the cover, and an elastic support member disposed between an inner surface of the cover and a side surface of an inner lamination for supporting one end of the muffler, for thereby stably fixing the muffler to the piston without using an additional coupling member.
