Abstract:
1. A working machine comprising: a lower propelling body; a support base supported by the lower propelling body; an equipment installation area provided on the support base to allow equipment to be installed therein; a pipe extending from the equipment installation area; a guard which covers the equipment installation area and has an opening for leading out the pipe therethrough; and a clamp configured to support the pipe and having a shape capable of closing up the opening, the clamp including: wherein one of the pair of clamping members that is at a side of the opening closest to said edge in said specific direction includes a shield plate portion aligned in the specific direction with an accommodating region of the opening, the accommodating region accommodating the at least one support element fully in a cross direction perpendicular to the specific direction, wherein the shield plate portion consists of a single plate component having a shape continuously extending in the specific direction, wherein the single plate component has a dimension in the specific direction that is greater than the dimension of the at least one additional support element in the specific direction, the dimension of the single plate component in the specific direction allowing the single plate component to entirely close up the remaining region of the opening by itself over the whole remaining region in the cross section in both a first state where only the at least one support element is arranged in the opening and in a second state where the at least one support element and the at least one additional support element are arranged together in the opening, and a dimension in the cross direction that is greater than a dimension of the opening in the cross direction.
