Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a floor-moving type vacuum cleaner having a floor nozzle, an extension pipe, a hose and the like.

Conventional technology An electric vacuum cleaner on the floor moving side is generally connected to the main body via a floor nozzle, an extension pipe, and a hose, and an operation unit for input control and start / stop of the motor built into the main body is extended by the hose. The one provided on the pipe connection pipe side is common.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the extension pipe connecting pipe 2 of the hose 1 is integrally provided with a circuit attachment portion 3 for input control of a motor, a hand switch for starting and stopping the motor, and a handle 5. Has been.

Further, in such a configuration, since there is a distance between the handle 5 and the connecting portion A portion L1 of the hose 1, the load W of the hose 1 is increased.
When is applied to the part A, the force F1 is applied to the hand holding the handle 5 at the position of the handle 5, and the weight of the hose 1 is applied to the forward and backward movements during cleaning, and a natural holding method is required. Has been.

However, in the above-described configuration, since the mounting angle of the handle 5 is fixed, the inclination of the handle 5 and the hand squeeze are not suitable for users who are tall or short. It had to be unnatural and had to support the force F1 with an unnatural way of holding, which made it difficult to hold.

The present invention solves such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a convenient electric vacuum cleaner.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an extension pipe connecting pipe, one end of which is continuous with an extension pipe and the other end of which has a connecting portion with a hose. The extension pipe connecting pipe is branched toward the hose side, and the handle is bendable in the same plane with respect to the extension pipe connecting pipe.

Action The present invention having the above-described configuration makes it possible for a tall person or a low person to clean without changing the grip angle of the handle by making the handle rotatable.

Embodiment An embodiment of the electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the hose 7 for connecting the extension pipe 9 having the floor nozzle 8 and the like to the vacuum cleaner main body 10 includes a main body connection pipe 11 for fitting with the vacuum cleaner main body 10, and the extension pipe. It has extension pipe connecting pipes 12 which are fitted with 9 at both ends.

The extension pipe connecting pipe 12 is a circuit housing portion for housing a circuit for controlling the rotational force of a motor (not shown) mounted on the vacuum cleaner body 10 as shown in FIG.
13, hand switch 14 for starting and stopping the main unit, handle 15
have. Specifically, the rear portion of the extension pipe connecting pipe 12 is vertically branched, that is, it is branched from the extension pipe connecting pipe 12, the handle 15 is located on the upper portion thereof, and the lower portion is the connecting portion 16 of the hose 7. Has become.

Further, the handle 15 is rotatably provided in the same plane as the extension pipe connecting pipe 12 by a rotation shaft 17 provided in the vicinity of the tip end portion thereof.

In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 3, the user holding the handle 15 is, for example, a person with a short height and should hold the handle 15 at a position H2 lower than the standard handle height (about 70 to 80 cm) H1. In addition, since the handle 15 can be rotated in the direction of the arrow D by using the above-described rotation shaft 17 as the rotation axis and the handle 15 can be set to a holding angle close to the height of H1, the user having the handle 15 can move the handle 15 to It does not match the tilt angle.

Furthermore, even if the height of the handle 15 is higher than H3 and H1,
Similar to the above, there is no problem because the handle 15 rotates in the direction of arrow E.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, in the electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention, the tip of the handle is rotatably arranged on the extension pipe connecting pipe, and, for example, the height of the handle is different in height. However, since only the handle rotates about the rotation axis as an axis, it is not necessary to change the hand holding the handle. Furthermore, even when cleaning a low place such as under a desk or under a bed, the handle can be rotated to easily perform cleaning.
