Abstract
The present invention relates to a spring supporting structure of a linear compressor which is capable of reducing the horizontal length of the compressor by reducing the overall length which adds the length of an inner resonance spring to the length of an outer resonance spring by placing at least three inner resonance springs and outer resonance springs so as to cross each other to the cylindrical direction vertical to the center line of a inner/outer spring supporters placed between an inner stator assembly and an outer stator assembly fixedly formed on a frame elastically installed inside of a casing in order to make the magnet assembly perform the linear reciprocating motion, and placing the part of the elastic region of the certain inner resonance spring so as to overlap with the elastic portion of the adjacent outer resonance spring.
