PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reciprocating motion work machine with which an intermediate plate does not need to be fixed to a housing and positions of the intermediate plate and an eccentric cam can be aligned easily when detaching the eccentric cam.SOLUTION: The reciprocating motion work machine includes an intermediate plate 46 that is disposed between a lower blade and an upper blade 12 and between a lower eccentric cam and an upper eccentric cam 38, and the intermediate plate includes a passing hole 46a through which the upper eccentric cam can pass. When a blade assembly is released from the housing, the intermediate plate can move along an arc-shaped moving path 47 at a passing position where the upper eccentric cam can pass through the passing hole.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】中間プレートをハウジングに固定する必要がなく、偏心カムを取外すときに中間プレートと偏心カムの位置合わせが容易である往復動作業機を提供する。【解決手段】本発明による往復動作業機は、下ブレードと上ブレード12の間に且つ下偏心カムと上偏心カム38の間に配置される中間プレート46を有し、中間プレートは、上偏心カムが通過可能な通過孔46aを有する。ブレード組立体がハウジングから解放されているとき、中間プレートは、上偏心カムが通過孔を通過可能な通過位置に弧状の移動経路47に沿って移動可能である。【選択図】図7
