Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention is an electric vacuum cleaner in which a suction hose to which a floor suction device is attached via a continuous pipe can be simply stored while connected to the main body of the vacuum cleaner. Regarding vacuum cleaners.

(Example) Conventional technology As a technology prior to the present invention, for example, Utility Model Application No. 63-64
Publication No. 346 discloses a vacuum cleaner in which a suction hose, a connecting pipe, and a floor suction device are kept connected, and a holder provided on the connecting pipe is held in a holding part of the vacuum cleaner body for simple storage. It is shown. In this prior art, in order to prevent the suction hose from wobbling in the simply stored state, an engaging body provided in the middle of the suction hose is configured to engage with a bent pipe of the suction hose.

However, since the engaging part that engages the engaging body is formed into a bent tube that becomes a hand-held operation part during actual use, the engaging part becomes a hindrance and is difficult to hold when the vacuum cleaner is actually used. Become,
In addition to impairing usability, the engaging body provided on the flexible suction hose must be engaged with the engaging portion fixedly formed on the bent pipe of the suction hose, making it difficult to connect the suction hose to the connecting pipe. It has the drawbacks of cumbersome joint work and poor usability.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention provides a vacuum cleaner with a simple structure in which a suction hose, a connecting pipe, and a floor suction device are held in the vacuum cleaner body in a connected state for simple storage. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vacuum cleaner that can prevent the suction hose from sagging, thereby providing good usability and easy storage.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The vacuum cleaner of the present invention is one in which the suction hose, the connecting pipe, and the floor suction device are held in the vacuum cleaner body while the suction hose, the connecting pipe, and the floor suction device are connected, and the connecting pipe is held in the vacuum cleaner body. It is formed by a pipe body and a pipe cover, and a long groove is formed in the longitudinal direction between the pipe body and the pipe cover, and the suction hose has a distal end that surrounds the connecting pipe and slides into the long groove. It is characterized in that an engaging body having an engaging piece that is movably fitted is attached.

(e) Effect With the above configuration, in the simple storage state, the connecting pipe to which the floor suction tool and the suction hose are connected is held in the vacuum cleaner body, and the suction hose is held in place when the engaging piece of the engaging body is connected to the connecting pipe. By engaging and fitting the tip into the long groove, it becomes difficult to come off from the connecting pipe and is reliably engaged with the connecting pipe. Moreover, since the tip of the engagement piece is slidably fitted within the range of the long groove, the middle part of the suction hose can be easily engaged at any position within the range of the long groove. The degree of freedom in engaging the suction hose with the connecting pipe is increased, and the work of engaging the suction hose with the connecting pipe can be easily performed.

(f) Examples Hereinafter, the vacuum cleaner of the present invention will be explained based on examples shown in the drawings.

(1) is a canister-type vacuum cleaner body that has a dust collection chamber with a top opening in the front and an electric blower in the rear, and is equipped with a dust collection lid (2) that opens and closes the top opening. lid(
2) A suction port (3) is provided at the center of the upper surface.

(4) is a suction hose that is detachably connected to the suction port (3) of the vacuum cleaner body (1), and is a flexible hose pipe (
5) has a suction port connecting tube (6) bent to have a dogleg shape in cross section, which is inserted into and connected to the suction port (3); They each have a tube (8).

(9) is the floor suction tool, (10) is the suction hose (4)
This is a connecting pipe that connects the bent pipe (8) and the floor suction device (9). This connecting pipe (4) needs to be wired in order to supply power to the rotating electric motor of the rotating brush built into the floor suction device (9), so the lead wire ( 12) is wired, and a pipe cover (13) covering this lead wire (12) is attached to the pipe body (11). A sliding notch is formed in the longitudinal direction between the pipe body (11) on one end side of the connecting pipe (10) and the pipe cover (13) by cutting out the edge of the pipe cover (13). A long sliding groove (15) is formed between the hole (14) and the outer surface of the pipe body (11). Furthermore (16
) is the pipe body (
11) A click protrusion for positioning protrudes from the outer surface.

(17) is a holder made of elastic synthetic resin such as polypropylene that is attached to the connecting pipe (10);
The holder (17) is attached to the holding hole (18) of the vacuum cleaner body (1).
It has a retaining piece (19) that is retained by the retainer.

(20) is an engaging body made of elastic synthetic resin such as polypropylene, which is attached to the middle part of the hose pipe (5) of the suction hose (4>); C-type hose pipe mounting fixing part (2
1), and a C-shaped engagement piece (22) that surrounds the connecting pipe (10) and fits into the connecting pipe (10). This C-shaped engagement piece (21) is connected to the connecting pipe (
10), its tip (22a) is fitted into the long groove (15), thereby making it difficult for the engaging body (20) to come off from the connecting pipe (10) and ensuring reliable engagement. It looks like this. The tip (228) of the Kiraniko is slidable within the range of the long groove (15), and the C-shaped engagement piece (22) of the engagement body 20> is slidable within the range of the long groove (15).
) Since it can be fitted in any position, the suction hose (4
) to the long groove part (15) of the connecting pipe (10).
The suction hose (4) can be easily engaged at any position within the range of Engagement work can be done easily.

When using the vacuum cleaner, connect the suction port connection pipe (6) of the suction hose (4) to which the floor suction device (9) is attached via the connecting pipe (10) to the suction port of the vacuum cleaner body (1). (3)
At this time, since the bent pipe (8) is not provided with a hose attachment member, etc., the cleaning work is carried out by holding the handle (7>) of the bent pipe (8>).

On the other hand, when the vacuum cleaner is not in use, the vacuum cleaner main body (1) is placed in an upright position with the rear surface (1a) of the vacuum cleaner main body (1) facing the floor, and the latch holding piece of the holder (17) is (19) is latched and held in the holding hole (18), and the suction hose (
4) of the engaging body (20) attached to the C-shaped retaining piece (22
) to the connecting pipe (10), the suction hose (4) can be easily stored with it connected to the vacuum cleaner main body (1). At this time, the C of the engaging body (20)
The mold engagement piece (22) can be easily engaged at any position within the long sliding groove (15), so the suction hose (4) can be easily engaged. In this state, the suction hose (4) is engaged with the connecting pipe (10) and can be securely prevented from sagging, making it easy to move the vacuum cleaner body (1) in the simple storage state.
1) will not fall over.

(g) Effects of the invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has a simple configuration, and
In a state where the suction hose is prevented from sagging, the suction hose to which the floor suction tool is attached via the connecting pipe can be easily stored while being connected to the vacuum cleaner body. Furthermore, the engaging body that engages the suction hose with the connecting pipe can be engaged at any position within the long sliding groove of the connecting pipe, making the engaging work easy and providing good usability. Moreover, it is possible to obtain a vacuum cleaner that can be easily stored.
