Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an upline vacuum cleaner and is intended to expand the scope of use of the vacuum cleaner itself.

In general, this type of vacuum cleaner, as shown in FIG.
It is composed of a suction port body 3 connected to the vacuum cleaner body 1, and a handle pipe 4 having one end fixed to the vacuum cleaner body 1 and having a grip portion 5 at the other end. Since the structure is not such that it can be easily separated, the vacuum cleaner main body 1 cannot be used alone, resulting in a narrow scope of use.

This proposal was made in view of these points,
The vacuum cleaner main body 1 can be easily separated from the suction port body and the handle pipe, and for example, by connecting another small suction port etc. to the separate vacuum cleaner main body air intake port, the vacuum cleaner main body can be used as a hand-held electric cleaner. The feature is that the range of use has been expanded by making it possible to use it alone as a vacuum cleaner.

The embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 will be described in detail below. Reference numeral 11 denotes a vacuum cleaner main body which is equipped with a filter, an electric blower (none of which are shown), etc., and a dust collection case 12 that can be attached and detached. A main body handle 13 is disposed on the main body. 14
is a suction port body, and a connecting pipe 15 is connected to the rear part of the body so that the vertical angle can be freely adjusted. 16 is a handle pipe with sufficient length, and a grip part 17 is attached to the tip of the pipe.
form.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a joint in which fitting holes 19 and 20 of different diameters are arranged side by side, and the fitting hole 19 is used to fit onto the connecting pipe 15, while the fitting hole 20 is fitted with the handle pipe 16 to connect the pipe. 16 is supported on the suction port body 14 side, and the connecting pipe 15 has its tip 15a.
protrudes an appropriate amount onto the upper surface of the joint 18. Then,
The cleaner body 1 is attached to the tip 15a of the connecting pipe 15.
The airflow from the vacuum cleaner flows from the suction port body 14 to the connecting pipe 15, the suction port, the inside of the dust collection case 12, and the airflow from the vacuum cleaner.
After passing through a filter and an electric blower, it is discharged from the rear of the machine. 21 is a locking member attached to the handle pipe 16, and 22 is a hook-shaped piece formed at one end of the main body handle 13, which is locked when the suction port of the vacuum cleaner main body 11 is fitted to the tip of the connecting pipe 15 from above. It engages with the member 21 at the same time and supports the cleaner body 11.

In the above configuration, when normally used as an upright vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleaner main body 11 is
The intake port is fitted into the tip 15a of the connecting pipe 15, and the hook-shaped piece 22 is engaged with the locking member 21, and the second
Connect as shown. This connected state is reliably maintained by the weight of the vacuum cleaner main body 11, eliminating the need for complicated fixing means, and the vacuum cleaner main body 11 is in a stable state by being supported at two points, upper and lower.

Therefore, the cleaning work is performed by appropriately tilting the cleaner body 11 and the handle pipe 16 with respect to the suction port body 14,
It is something to do.

Next, when using the vacuum cleaner main body 11 alone,
Hold the main body handle 13 and lift the vacuum cleaner main body 11, and use the main body 11 by separating it from the suction port body 14 and the handle pipe 16 as shown in the third figure. As an example of independent use, it is conceivable to directly connect another small-sized suction port (not shown) to the suction port of the vacuum cleaner main body 11 and use it as a hand-type vacuum cleaner.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the state of connection of the vacuum cleaner main body 11 (fitting of the intake port and the tip of the connecting pipe 15, engagement of the locking member 21 and the hook-shaped piece 22) is defined as the main body 11.
Although it is maintained by its own weight, it is also possible to add a clamping mechanism to more securely maintain the bonded state.

Furthermore, if the vacuum cleaner main body 11, suction port body 14, and handle pipe 16 are made separable from each other, and the handle pipe 16 is constructed to be foldable, this type of vacuum cleaner can be stored more compactly. It can be measured.

As shown below, the upline type vacuum cleaner of the present invention has a vacuum cleaner body that can be freely separated from the suction port body and the handle pipe, so that the main body can be used independently, such as as a hand-type vacuum cleaner. The scope of use can be expanded. or,
The vacuum cleaner body separably fits and connects the suction port to the connection pipe of the suction port body, and at the same time engages with the locking member of the handle pipe and maintains the fitted and connected state and the engaged state by its own weight, so it is particularly It is possible to obtain a stable mounting condition without using complicated and strong fixing means, and when cleaning by holding the handle pipe, the vacuum cleaner body does not wobble from side to side with respect to the handle pipe, improving operability and workability. This is a good idea in practical terms.
