Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a storage case for a vacuum cleaner that stores the vacuum cleaner main body in a horizontal state.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a storage case for a vacuum cleaner that stores a vacuum cleaner main body and accessories for the vacuum cleaner is a simple box, and the opening of the box is shaped like a box. The main body of the vacuum cleaner was placed and supported using a simple frame.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the case of the conventional vacuum cleaner storage case as described above, the area supporting the vacuum cleaner body is small, so the vacuum cleaner body does not fit inside the parts storage case. There is a problem with falling inside. Another problem is that it is inconvenient to store the vacuum cleaner in an upright position or take it out of the storage case by holding the handle provided at the front of the vacuum cleaner. There is also.

[Means for solving the problems] In order to solve the above problems, the configuration of the present invention is as follows.
In a storage case for a vacuum cleaner that stores a vacuum cleaner body equipped with a front handle in a substantially horizontal position, the storage case includes a lower case with an upper opening for storing accessories, and a lower case placed on the lower case. and an upper case with an upper opening for storing the vacuum cleaner main body, and the bottom part of the upper case holds the rear wheels of the vacuum cleaner main body stored in the upper case and guides them to the rear side. A flat guide part descending from the top toward the rear is provided along both side walls of the upper case, and an opening of a predetermined width is formed between the two guide parts to form a flat guide part on the bottom surface of the upper case. The locking portion is provided at the upper part of the lower case with a locked portion to which the locking portion is engaged and detached, and the upper case is removably placed on the lower case.

[Function] With the above configuration, when storing the vacuum cleaner body, hold the front handle, hold the vacuum cleaner body upright, and place the rear wheels on the guide section of the upper case, and the guide section will descend toward the rear. As a result, the rear wheels roll on the guide part, and the vacuum cleaner body falls forward, becomes horizontal, is held by the guide part, and is stored in the upper case.

In this way, since the vacuum cleaner body is held by the flat guide portion, it will not fall into the lower case.

In addition, the caster (front wheel) provided at the front central part of the vacuum cleaner body fits into the opening of a predetermined width between the guide parts, so the caster does not get caught in the direction of the guide part and does not get caught in the guide part. There is no. That is, when the vacuum cleaner body is stood up on the guide part, the vacuum cleaner body naturally falls forward and is housed in the upper case, making it very easy to store the cleaner body.

To remove the vacuum cleaner from the storage case, pull it up by the front handle, the rear wheels will move along the guide, and the vacuum cleaner will stand up and be removed from the upper case. The vacuum cleaner body can be easily taken out.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the vacuum cleaner storage case according to this invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 6, 1 is a vacuum cleaner main body, which is composed of a vacuum cleaner main body 3, a vacuum cleaner storage case 4, and the like. A vacuum cleaner storage case 4 that houses a vacuum cleaner main body 3 having a handle 2 at the front is composed of an upper case 5 with an open top and a lower case 6 with an open top. At the bottom of the upper case 5, there is a flat guide part 8 on both sides that descends from the front to the rear and has a predetermined width in order to hold and guide the rear wheels 7 provided on the vacuum cleaner body 3 to the rear side. The guide portion 8 is provided along the walls 5a and 5b, and a recess 9 in which the rear wheel 7 engages is provided at the rear of the guide portion 8.

Further, a clamp button 11 is attached to the front part of the upper case 5 to operate a stopper (locking part) 10, and when the upper case 5 is placed on the lower case 6, the stopper 10 is activated. The lower case 6 is configured to engage with an engagement hole (locked portion) 12 provided in the lower case 6 to firmly connect both cases. Therefore, it is necessary to set the height and position of the guide portion 8 so that the upper case 5 and the lower case 6 can be connected. Further, an opening 13a having a predetermined width is formed between the guide portions 8 at the center of the bottom of the upper case 8. A vertical wall 13b extending in the front-rear direction and having a predetermined height is provided at one end (end on the opening 13a side) of the lower surface of each of the guide parts 8.
It is integrated with. And vertical wall 13
By placing the upper case 5 on the front wall 6a and rear wall 6b of the lower case 6, as shown in FIG.
is placed on the lower case 6.

21 is a front side wall provided integrally with the vertical wall 13b, and a rear side wall (not shown) is also provided at the rear of the vertical wall 13b. These vertical walls 13b
The lower part of the space 13 surrounded by the side wall 21 and the like is open, so that the space 13 and a region 16 of the lower case 6, which will be described later, are continuous.

The lower case 6 in which the engagement hole 12 is provided has two
Three areas 15, 1 are divided by three partition plates 14, 14.
6 and 17, and the width between the two partition plates 14, 14 substantially matches the width of the space 13. Further, the lower part of the lower case 6 is closed by a bottom plate (not shown).

The configuration of this embodiment has been described above, and the operation will be explained next.

Place the vertical wall 13b of the upper case 5 on the front and rear side walls 6a and 6b of the lower case 6, place the upper case 5 on the lower case 6, and insert the stopper 10 into the engagement hole 1.
2 to form the storage case 4 (see Figure 2). Hold the front handle 2 and stand the vacuum cleaner body 3 upright. In this state, move the rear wheel 7 onto the guide part 8 inside the storage case 4. When the rear wheel 7 is placed on the guide portion 8, the guide portion 8 is lowered from the front toward the rear.
The vacuum cleaner main body 3 is rolled over, and the rear wheels 7 engage with the recesses 9, so that the vacuum cleaner main body 3 naturally lies down and is stored in a horizontal state (see FIG. 3). In this case, since the caster K provided at the front central part of the vacuum cleaner body 3 enters the opening 13a between the guide parts 8, the caster K will be attracted to the guide part 8 regardless of the direction of the caster. There is no need for manual operation to orient the caster K to the front.

In this way, when the vacuum cleaner main body 3 is stood up on the guide part 8, the vacuum cleaner main body 3 naturally falls forward and is stored horizontally in the upper case 5, so that it can be stored easily. is very simple.

When taking out the vacuum cleaner main body 3 from the parts storage case 4, lift the handle 2, the rear wheels 7 will pass through the guide part 8, and the vacuum cleaner main body 3 will be in an upright position and can be lifted as is. (See Figure 4) Also, since the lower case 6 is divided into three areas 15, 16, and 17, for example, in the figure, area 15 contains a paper bag filter (not shown), which is an accessory for a vacuum cleaner, If a hose, an extension pipe (not shown), etc. are stored in the area 16, and a floor brush 18, a rotating brush 19, etc. are stored in the area 17, dirt attached to the floor brush 18, etc. can be removed from other accessories. This prevents the paint from sticking to the surface and making it dirty (see Figure 6).

By the way, the storage case 4 is divided into a lower case 6 and an upper case 5, so when transporting the storage case 4 from a factory etc., the upper and lower cases 5 and 6 can be separated and packed into smaller sizes, which is extremely convenient. It's convenient.

[Effect] As explained above, according to the present invention, by standing the vacuum cleaner main body on the guide part and tilting it forward, the vacuum cleaner main body is guided by the guide part and stored in the upper case. So its storage is very easy. Furthermore, since the vacuum cleaner main body is held by the flat guide portion, it will not fall into the storage case. Furthermore, since the storage case is divided into a lower case and an upper case, when transporting the storage case from a factory or the like, the upper and lower cases can be separated and packed into smaller sizes, which is very convenient.
