Abstract

PURPOSE:To erect a handle as soon as a duct collecting bag is closed after the dust collecting bag is changed, and to save trouble for erecting the handle in housing a cleaner main body by detaining the dust collecting cover and the handle at the time of opening the dust collecting cover. CONSTITUTION:After a dust collecting bag is changed, when a dust collecting cover 3 is erected roughly vertically against a cleaner main body, a detaining part 9 formed in a supporting arm 4 of the dust collecting cover 3 is pressed against an inner wall of a handle 12. As a result, the supporting arm 4 is deformed a little, and the dust collecting cover 3 and an engaging part 14 of the handle 12 are engaged more surely. Also, a friction coefficient of the dust collecting cover 3 and the handle 12 becomes larger than a friction coefficient of the handle 12 and the cleaner main body, the dust collecting cover 3 and the handle 12 are detained frictionally, and at the time of closing the dust collecting cover 3 again, the handle 12 is erected roughly vertically against the cleaner main body. Accordingly, as soon as the dust collecting cover 3 is closed, the handle 12 is erected. Therefore, after the dust collecting bag is changed, at the time of carrying the cleaner main body in order to put it in, it is unnecessary to erect the handle 12, and housing workability of the cleaner main body is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

A vacuum cleaner body 1 has a dust collecting chamber 2 for storing a dust collecting bag (not shown) in the front and an electric blower storing chamber for storing an electric blower in the rear (not shown). There is. Three
Is a dust collecting lid that covers the upper part of the dust collecting chamber 2 so as to be openable and closable, and has a supporting arm 4 at the rear end of the dust collecting lid 3. 5 and 6 are integrally formed. The dust collecting lid 3 has an inner support shaft 6 rotatably sandwiched between an upper case 7 and a case cover 8 which form a part of the cleaner body 1.

Reference numeral 9 is a locking portion integrally formed inside the support arm 4 of the dust collecting lid 3, and when the dust collecting lid 3 is opened,
The handle 12 is pressed against an inner wall of the handle 12 described later to frictionally lock the handle 12 to the support arm 4, and the support arm 4 is elastically deformed outward so that the outer support shaft 6 and the handle 12 can be securely engaged with each other. It is like this.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an accommodating portion lid which covers a component accommodating chamber (not shown) formed on the upper part of the dust collecting lid 3 so as to be openable and closable, and accommodating accessory components such as a gap attachment in the component accommodating chamber. It is like this. An arm 11 is formed at the rear end of the housing cover 10, and is rotatably locked to an inner support shaft 5 formed on the support arm 4 of the dust collection cover 3.

Numeral 12 is a handle which is arranged on the upper surface of the cleaner body 1 so as to be erected on the electric blower housing chamber side so as to be housed in a housing recess 13 formed on the upper surface of the cleaner body 1. By engaging the engagement portion 14 formed on the handle 12 with the inner support shaft 5 and the outer support shaft 6 of the support arm 4, the arm 11 of the storage chamber cover 10 is rotated. It is rotatably supported.

After the cleaning is completed, the dust collecting lid 3 is opened and the dust collecting bag (not shown) is replaced. At this time, when the dust collecting lid 3 is erected substantially perpendicular to the cleaner body 1, the engaging portion 9 formed on the support arm 4 of the dust collecting lid 3 is pressed against the inner wall of the handle 12. As a result, the support arm 4 is slightly deformed to more securely engage the dust collecting lid 3 and the engaging portion 14 of the handle 12, and the friction coefficient between the dust collecting lid 3 and the handle 12 is increased. And the coefficient of friction between the cleaner body 1 and the dust collector lid 3 and the handle 12 are frictionally locked to each other, and when the dust collector lid 3 is closed again, the handle 12 is removed.
Stands almost perpendicular to.

Therefore, at the same time when the dust collecting lid 3 is closed, the handle is
Since the 12 stands up, it is not necessary to raise the handle 12 when transporting the cleaner body 1 for storage after replacing the dust collecting bag, and the workability of storing the cleaner body 1 is improved.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The same parts as those in the first embodiment will be described below.
The same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted.

Reference numeral 15 is a handle disposed on the dust collecting lid 3 side of the vacuum cleaner body 1 so as to be up and down freely, and is rotatable on support shafts 5 and 6 formed on a support arm 4 of the dust collecting lid 3. It is installed in.

Reference numeral 16 is a locking portion formed on the upper case 7 forming a part of the cleaner body 1, and when the dust collecting lid 3 is opened, the handle 15 standing upright together with the dust collecting lid 3 is The friction coefficient between the handle 15 and the cleaner body 1 becomes larger than the friction coefficient between the handle 15 and the dust collecting lid 3 by being pressed against the locking portion 16.

After cleaning, the dust collecting lid 3 is opened and the dust collecting bag (not shown) is replaced. At this time, when the dust-collecting lid 3 is erected substantially vertically to the cleaner body 1, the handle 15 is erected together with the dust-collecting lid 3, and the handle 15 is pressed against the locking portion 16 formed on the upper case 7. It

As a result, the coefficient of friction between the upper case 7 and the handle 15 becomes larger than the coefficient of friction between the handle 15 and the dust collecting lid 3, so that the handle 15 frictionally engages the upper case 7, that is, the cleaner body 1. When the dust collection lid 3 is stopped and closed again, only the dust collection lid 3 falls down, and the handle 15 is held in a state of standing upright substantially vertically to the cleaner body 1.

Therefore, it is not necessary to raise the handle 15 when the vacuum cleaner body 1 is transported for storage after the dust bag is replaced, and the workability of storing the vacuum cleaner body 1 is improved.

[0025]

According to the present invention, after the dust bag is exchanged, the handle can be erected simultaneously with closing the dust cover.
It is possible to save the trouble of raising the handle when carrying and storing the main body of the vacuum cleaner, and to improve the storage workability.
