A closed type electric compressor includes a closed container and a compressor body elastically supported within the container. The body has a support frame supporting a compression section and an electric motor for driving the compression section. The support frame is formed with a pair of engaging holes facing the inner side surface of the container. A pair of stoppers are fixed to the inner side surface of the container and perpendicularly extend therefrom. Each stopper is loosely inserted into the corresponding engaging hole so as to engage the engaging hole to prevent excessive elastic deformation of the compressor body when the compressor receives large shock.
