- a dust collecting receptacle is removably connected to the cyclone body for collecting dust separated from air by the cyclone stream.
- a grill assembly is disposed at an end of the air discharge port inside the cyclone body for preventing dusts from being flowing back through the air discharge port of the cyclone body, and a fine dust filtering means disposed at a downstream end of the grill assembly of the cyclone body for separating fine dusts which has not been separated by the grill assembly.
- the fine dust filtering means includes a filter mounting portion formed on the cyclone body and has an opening portion open in a direction orthogonal with respect to the air discharge port, and a filter assembly removably inserted into the filter mounting portion.
- the filter assembly includes a filter case having an external shape corresponding to a shape and structure of the filter mounting portion, and a fine dust filter connected to the filter case.
- a part of the filter case which comes in contact with the opening portion of the filter mounting portion has a packing member disposed thereon for sealing.
- a grip portion is provided on a front surface of the filter case for easy handling.
- the cyclone type dust collecting apparatus has relatively large particles of dusts separated from the drawn air by the grill assembly, and fine dusts separated secondly from air by the fine dust filtering means disposed at a downstream end of the grill assembly, it thus has less dust presented to the cleaner body. As a result, the amount of dust to be filtered at the paper filter is greatly reduced.
