Abstract

An improved bag docking assembly (10) for aligning a vacuum bag (24) for engagement with a dirty air outlet nozzle (20) on a vacuum cleaner (12), and for retaining the vacuum bag in the position of engagement. The assembly incorporates an anchor member (36) and a mounting member (38). The anchor member serves to attach the bag docking assembly to the vacuum cleaner. The anchor member can be a substantially flat piece of plastic having a central opening (40) for closely receiving the dirty air outlet nozzle on the vacuum cleaner. The central opening can have a shoulder for engaging a rim or similar protrusion formed about the perimeter of the dirty air outlet nozzle. Additionally, protrusions (45) are located on the anchor member that align with voids (21) in the vacuum bag collar to ensure that correct alignment of the vacuum bag has been achieved.
