  • Patent number: 10190284
    Abstract: A boom for a working machine, the boom including a main body formed by connecting upper parts of a left and right pair of sidewall parts to each other through a top wall part, and connecting lower parts of the left and right side wall parts to each other through a bottom wall part, the boom being provided with a partition inside the main body and in a longitudinal middle of the main body. A hydraulic hose is inserted in a hole within the partition. The partition includes a lower plate part that is welded to the bottom wall part, as well as a vertical plate part that is raised from the lower plate part and welded to the sidewall parts. The hose hole is formed from the vertical plate part to the lower plate part via a bending part between the vertical plate part and the lower plate part.
