Linear compressor

A linear compressor, comprising:

• a shell having a cylindrical shape and a horizontal central longitudinal axis;
• a fixing bracket provided on an inner circumferential surface of the shell;
• a compressor body accommodated in the shell in a state of being spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the shell to compress a refrigerant;
• a support connected to the fixing bracket to support the compressor body;
• and
• a coupling member that connects the support to the fixing bracket, wherein the support includes:
• a plate spring;
• and
• a buffer coupled to an edge of the plate spring, and wherein the fixing bracket includes:
• a fixed surface fixed to the shell;
• and
• a coupling surface bent from an end of the fixed surface and extending toward a center of the shell, wherein the coupling member is inserted into the coupling surface.

• and
• a buffer coupled to an edge of the plate spring, and wherein the buffer includes:
• a first portion that contacts a first surface of the plate spring and the coupling surface;
• a second portion that contacts a second surface which is a surface opposite to the first surface of the plate spring;
• and
• a third portion that connects the first portion to the second portion, wherein the plate spring is spaced a thickness of the first portion from the coupling surface.
