Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a storage case for use in general households.

BACKGROUND ART A conventional vacuum cleaner with a storage case of this type has a structure as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

That is, a floor nozzle 1, a hose 2, an extension pipe 3,
The storage case 5 for storing the paper bag set 4 and the like has been designed to be as compact as possible with as little extra space as possible in consideration of cost.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, users do not put the above-mentioned storage parts in efficiently. For example, when they put them in as shown in Fig. 5, the connecting pipe part 1a of the floor nozzle 1 Being pushed by the lower case 6, pressure is applied in the direction of arrow A, which pushes the hose 2 and tries to expand the storage case 5. At this time, storage case 5
Because polypropylene, which is inexpensive and lightweight, is used, the overall rigidity is weak, and it spreads in the direction of arrow B, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

The present invention solves these conventional problems and provides a vacuum cleaner in which deformation of the storage case is prevented as much as possible.

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is to form ribs that come into contact when the main body is attached on the short sides of the storage case, and to move the long sides outward. It is formed into a curved shape.

Effects The effects of this technical means are as follows. In other words, when the main body is attached to the storage case, the storage case is expanded in the longitudinal direction,
This applies pressure that tends to move inward in the width direction, and suppresses pressure that tends to expand from the inside.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In Figures 1 to 3, 7 is the main body of the vacuum cleaner;
A lower body case 8, an upper body case 9, and a dust collection lid 10 constitute an outer shell. 11 is a front wheel, and 12 is a rear wheel. Reference numeral 13 denotes a rectangular storage case with an open top, and a rotatable buckle 14 is provided on the front side of the case. The claw 14a formed on this buckle 14 is connected to a hook portion 8 of the lower main body case 8 of the main body 7 attached to the upper open portion of the storage case 13.
It is designed to be locked to a. Also, the rear side is
A claw 13a formed on the storage case 13 is latched onto a hook 8b formed on the main body case 8. A rear wheel storage portion 13b for storing the rear wheel 12 is formed on the rear side of the storage case 13. Inside the storage case 13 are a floor nozzle 15, a hose 16,
It contains an extension tube 17, a paper bag 18, etc. 13c
is a rib formed in the rear wheel storage portion 13b of the storage case 13, which corresponds to the outer diameter portion 12a of the rear wheel 12 when the main body 7 is attached to the storage case 13.

In the above configuration, the outer diameter portion 12a of the wheel 12
As shown in FIG. 2, there is a slight overlap with the rib 13c (dimension A in the figure), so the rib 13c is pushed rearward by the rear wheel 12. Therefore,
The width direction of the storage case 13 tends to move inward as shown by the dashed line in FIG. Therefore, even if the storage case 13 tends to expand in the width direction due to the way the storage components are inserted, the above-mentioned effect can prevent the storage case 13 from expanding. In addition, regarding prevention of deformation of the case,
Possible countermeasures include increasing the overall rigidity or making the storage space larger so that the storage parts do not spread out no matter how they are placed, but in the case of the former, the material of the storage case 13 could be changed from the current polypropylene to ABS. If you change to something like this, not only will the material cost increase, but it will also become heavier and less convenient to use. Also, even if the wall thickness is increased, the above problem will occur. The same is true for the latter,
In addition, transportation costs and other costs will increase, making the product expensive.

Effects of the invention As described above, the vacuum cleaner according to the invention of the present application has
By forming a rib on the short side of the storage case that comes into pressure contact with a part of the vacuum cleaner body, and curving the long side outward, the storage case is the same size as the conventional case, but it can be adjusted depending on how the storage parts are inserted. The storage case can be prevented from spreading out, making it easy to use and highly durable.
