Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a vacuum cleaner equipped with a storage case for dust collection hoses, pipes, etc.

For example, some vacuum cleaners are equipped with a storage case that houses dust collection tools such as a dust collection hose, a dust collection pipe, and a floor brush. After storing the dust collector in the storage case, the vacuum cleaner itself can be placed on top of the storage case, and they are removably connected with a clamp or the like, so they can be carried together. It's becoming possible. In other words,
A carrying handle is provided on the upper surface of the vacuum cleaner body, and the storage case is carried along with the vacuum cleaner body by grasping the handle.

However, when the vacuum cleaner with the above structure is carried by holding the handle, for example, if the storage case is hit against furniture, etc., the impact causes the vacuum cleaner body and the storage case to connect. There was a problem where the clamp could come off, causing the storage case to fall off.

This invention was devised based on these circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a vacuum cleaner that can reliably prevent the storage case from falling off and has excellent safety.

In other words, this idea has a carrying handle protruding from each of the storage case and the vacuum cleaner body.
Each of these handles is characterized in that it is formed with a gripping portion that is overlapped with each other when the vacuum cleaner main body is placed on the storage case. For example, the entire device can be carried by holding the grips on each handle at the same time.

An embodiment of this invention will be described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, 1 is a storage case made of synthetic resin.
This storage case 1 has a box shape with an open top.
Dust collection tools such as a dust collection hose, a dust collection pipe, and a floor brush are housed inside.
A vacuum cleaner main body 2 can be placed on the upper side of the storage case 1. In other words, this vacuum cleaner main body 2 is also box-shaped like the storage case 1, and its lower end is fitted into the storage case 1 and attached to the support edges 3, 3 formed on both inner surfaces of the storage case 1. It is gaining support. Moreover, 4, 4 is the rear wheel of the vacuum cleaner main body 2, and 5 is the same front wheel. Note that relief notches 6, 6 for the rear wheels 4, 4 are formed in the support edges 3, 3, and the dust collection hose is connected to a hose connection port 7 on the top surface of the vacuum cleaner body 2. It's getting old.

A case handle 8 for carrying is provided on the front side of the storage case 1 and projects diagonally upward and forward. This case handle 8 consists of a pair of arm parts 9, 9 and a grip part 10 that connects these arm parts 9, 9, and the case handle 8 is formed integrally with the storage case 1.

On the other hand, a main body handle 11 is also protruded from the front side of the vacuum cleaner main body 2, and this main body handle 11 is also composed of arm parts 12, 12 and a grip part 13 like the case handle 8.

In this embodiment, when the vacuum cleaner main body 2 is placed on the storage case 1, the main body handle 11 of the vacuum cleaner main body 2 is inserted into the case handle 8 of the storage case 1 as shown in FIGS. When fitted, the grip portion 13 of the main body handle 11 is placed on a support stepped portion 14 protruding from the inner surface of the grip portion 10 of the case handle 8. That is, the gripping parts 10 and 13 are horizontally superimposed.

Further, a clamp 15 is integrally formed on the grip portion 10 of the case handle 8. This clamp 15 has a so-called self-hinge structure, and presses down the grip portion 13 of the main body handle 11 from above to connect the handles 8 and 11 to each other, that is, to connect the storage case 1 and the vacuum cleaner main body 2 to each other. Furthermore, the storage case 1 and the vacuum cleaner body 2 are connected not only by the clamp 15 on the front side, but also by forming an engaging protrusion 16 on the rear edge of the storage case 1, as shown in FIG. In addition, an engagement recess 17 is formed at the lower rear end of the cleaner body 2, so that the engagement protrusion 16 and the engagement recess 17 provide a connection on the rear side.

According to the vacuum cleaner according to the above embodiment, when the vacuum cleaner body 2 is placed on the storage case 1, the grip portions 10, 13 of the handles 8, 11
Since they overlap each other, this is called grip part 1.
0 and 13 can be held together to carry the entire vacuum cleaner. Therefore, even if the storage case 1 should hit furniture or the like during transportation, the storage case 1 will not fall off, and the storage case 1 and the vacuum cleaner body 2 can be securely and safely connected to each other. Can be carried.

Furthermore, since the clamp 15 is provided on the gripping part 10 of the case handle 8, the gripping part 10,
13 together, this clamp 1
You will have to grasp every 5 pieces. Therefore, the clamp 15 will never come off when the entire vacuum cleaner is being carried, resulting in even greater safety.

Furthermore, the clamp 15 has the grip portion 10,
Since it can be operated with one hand holding the vacuum cleaner 13, the storage case 1 and the vacuum cleaner body 2 can be easily connected and separated, which also has the advantage of being easy to handle.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the clamp 15 is not limited to the grip part 10 of the case handle 8, but also the main body handle 1.
It may be provided on the first gripping portion 13 side, and furthermore, it may be provided on the fourth gripping portion 13 side.
As shown in the figure, there is no problem even if the clamp 15 itself is not provided.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, each handle 8, 11
A similar effect can be obtained by overlapping the gripping parts 10 and 13 in the vertical direction.

As explained above, this invention has a carrying handle protruding from each of the storage case and the vacuum cleaner body, and these handles overlap each other when the vacuum cleaner body is placed on the storage case. Each part has its own parts. Therefore, the entire device can be carried by gripping the grip portions of each handle at the same time, which prevents the storage case from falling off, resulting in excellent safety and reliability.
