A reciprocating compressor comprises a reciprocating motor (30) disposed
in a casing (10), and generating a driving force; a compression unit (40)
for sucking, compressing, and discharging gas by the driving force of the
reciprocating motor (30); a resonant spring unit (50) for providing a
reciprocating movement of the reciprocating motor (30) with a resonant
movement; and at least two spring supporting frame (22,23) by which the
resonant spring unit (50) is supported, wherein one of the spring
supporting frames (22) is inserted into another spring supporting frame
(23) for being coupled with each other. Accordingly, since an initial
location of the piston (42) can be readily adjusted, a production process
is simplified in producing a reciprocating compressor, and thus its
productivity can be improved.
