Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner having a storage box for accessories.

Conventional configurations and their problems Conventionally, vacuum cleaner bodies have often had a low center of gravity type, which has a lower height relative to its width and lowers the center of gravity of the body because it provides good stability during movement. However, in order to carry this type of main body by hand, it was advantageous to provide the handle portion on the upper front side, which would make it easier to carry because the side surface of the main body would be less likely to hit the body during movement. In addition, the low center of gravity vacuum cleaner mentioned above can be stored stably by holding the handle and rotating it 90 degrees using the rear wheel as a fulcrum, with the handle upright using the protrusion and the rear wheel as support. .

A storage box for accessories that is effective for use in combination with the main body of a vacuum cleaner having the features described above has not been provided in the past.

Purpose of the invention The present invention aims to provide a storage box of a new form that is easy to use in combination with this low center of gravity vacuum cleaner main body.

Composition of the invention The invention consists of a main body of a vacuum cleaner, which has a height lower than its width, and a handle part that has a handle in the width direction at the upper end of the front surface; A storage box with an upward opening is disposed on the side of the main body in an upright position, and two hooks having the same shape as the handle of the handle are provided on one side of the opening end of the storage box. The storage box is provided with a notch in between, and the hook part is engaged with the handle to connect the storage box to the main body in a detachable manner, improving usability. It's a diagram.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 show the appearance of the main body 7 of the vacuum cleaner with a low center of gravity according to this embodiment. It is a front cover having a handle portion 10 and a hose connection hole 12, and is integrally connected with a buckle 13.

As shown in the figure, the handle portion 10 is formed at the upper end of the front cover 9 and has a handle 11 in the width direction of the main body. Although the main body 7 is not shown, it has an internal configuration similar to that of a general vacuum cleaner.

The main body 7 in this embodiment can be easily erected by holding the handle portion 10 and rotating it 90 degrees using the rear wheel 3 as a fulcrum, as shown in FIG. It has good stability because it is supported by .

Next, the structure of the storage box 14 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The storage box 14 has an opening 15 in the upper part, and hook parts 16 having the same cross-sectional shape as the handle 11 of the handle part 10 are formed at two places on the side surface A17 with a notch 24 between them. A support portion 18 is provided on the dovetail bottom surface. Further, the storage box 14 is formed with a low stepped portion 19 so as not to hit the protruding portions of the buckle 13 and the like of the main body 5. The accessories include a hose 20 as shown in Figure 4.
Sufficient volume is secured to accommodate the extension pipe 21, floor nozzle 22, and gap nozzle 23.

In the above configuration, the storage box 14 is attached to the main body 7 as shown in FIG. That is, with the main body 7 in an upright position, the hook part 16 is hooked onto the handle part 10 from above and fixed integrally.
At this time, the height of the main body 7 and the storage box 14 are the same, so they will not tilt even on the floor, and the main body 7
Since the side surface A17 of the storage box 14 is placed opposite to the top surface, the handle portion 10 is located almost in the center, so that the main body 7 and the storage box 14 are not tilted when carried in the hand. Can be carried at the same time.

Furthermore, since the storage box 14 abuts on the upper surface of the body 8 at a location (not shown) that is not related to the operation buttons such as the buckle 13, the operation function of the main body 7 is not impaired.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, the main body of the vacuum cleaner with a low center of gravity has morphological features (1. The handle is formed at the upper end of the front surface to make the main body easy to carry. 2. The main unit and the storage box are integrated into one, ensuring stability even when installed or when being carried. It can provide a good storage box form.

To explain this content in more detail with reference to Figure 6, in the installed state, the contact width L with the floor surface is L ₁ as shown in a when only the main body is connected, and L as shown in b when a storage box is added. ₂ and L ₂ > L ₁ , so the stability increases even more. Also, when carrying the main body alone, the center of gravity is G ₁ as shown in c, and the main body is slightly tilted, but if a storage box is added, the center of gravity is G ₂ as shown in d due to the weight of the storage box itself. The main body and storage box are kept in a horizontal position, making it easy to carry, and the accessories inside the storage box do not spill out from the opening, allowing it to be placed on the floor as it is, making it easy to operate. It is convenient and can be done smoothly. In addition, a notch is formed between the two hooks on the storage box, so you can securely grasp the handle on the vacuum cleaner body, and insert your hand into the handle from the main body side. Even if it is crowded, the hook part will not come off inadvertently, allowing accurate transportation.
