PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate connection of operating rods of a working machine.SOLUTION: The working machine includes: an operating rod being dividable into at least a first partial rod and a second partial rod a connecting member being fixable to the first partial rod and having an insertion hole into which the second partial rod can be inserted a locking member swingably supported by the connecting member and an energizing member for energizing the locking member in one direction. The locking member has a protrusion part protruding to the inside of the insertion hole, and the outer peripheral surface of the second partial rod has an engagement hole to be engaged with the protrusion part. In the axial direction of the insertion hole of the connecting member, the protrusion part of the locking member is located at an inverse position to an opening of the insertion hole viewed from a swinging central shaft of the locking member.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 作業機の操作棹の連結を容易にする。【解決手段】 作業機は、少なくとも第1部分棹と第2部分棹に分割可能な操作棹と、第1部分棹に固定可能であるとともに第2部分棹が挿入可能な挿入穴を有する連結部材と、連結部材によって揺動可能に支持されたロック部材と、ロック部材を一方方向に付勢する付勢部材とを備える。ロック部材には、挿入穴の内部に突出する突出部が設けられており、第2部分棹の外周面には、突出部と係合する係合穴が設けられている。そして、連結部材の挿入穴の軸方向に関して、ロック部材の突出部は、ロック部材の揺動中心軸から見て、挿入穴の開口とは反対側に位置する。【選択図】図11
