  • Patent number: 9181675
    Abstract: A working mechanism (4) takes a traveling stance by a way that left and right boom cylinders (9, 10) are expanded to rotate a tip end of a first boom (5) to the rear side and a positioning cylinder (11) is compressed to rotate a tip end of a second boom (6) to the lower side. In the traveling stance of the working mechanism (4), a front surface plate (23A) of a right front housing cover (23) is inclined along a tilting angle (?) of the left and right boom cylinders (9, 10), and the front surface plate (23A) of the right front housing cover (23) is arranged in a position of lining with front ends (9A1, 10A1) of tubes (9A, 10A) in the left-right direction forming the respective boom cylinders (9, 10).

  • Publication number: 20150259888
    Abstract: A counterweight (9) provided on a rear side of an upper revolving structure (3) is formed as a block body in which a boundary position between a rear surface (9B) and the upper surface (9C) is a projected curved surface (9E) which is curved with a projected arc shape. A rear camera device (11) mounted on the upper surface (9C) of the counterweight (9) is arranged on the upper surface (9C) of the counterweight (9) and in a state protruding rearward toward the projected curved surface (9E) of the counterweight (9). On the other hand, a cover member (19) covering a gap (18) formed by the projected curved surface (9E) is provided between the projected curved surface (9E) of the counterweight (9) and a rear part lower surface (12F) of a mounting plate (12) of the rear camera device (11).
