Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner that is used by connecting a hose, an extension pipe, and a floor nozzle to the vacuum cleaner body.

Conventional technology Conventionally, this type of vacuum cleaner was developed in U.S. Pat.
The configuration shown in the publication was common.

The configuration will be explained below based on the drawings.

In Fig. 8, 1 is a vacuum cleaner body (hereinafter referred to as the main body) that has a built-in electric blower, dust collection bag (none of which are shown), etc.
It has a front wheel 2 and a rear wheel 3 for running at the bottom.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a handle for carrying the main body 1, which is located at the upper front part of the main body 1 and is formed to protrude forward.

5 is a hose connected to an intake port (not shown) provided at the front of the main body 1, and an extension pipe 6. It is used by connecting the floor nozzle 7.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such conventional vacuum cleaners, the handle 4 is formed to protrude forward, the main body 1 is long and large, and the handle 4 does not come into contact with furniture, pillars, etc. during use. They were not easy to use because they were easily damaged and were difficult to route.

Furthermore, the handle 4 was at the same height as the main body 1, and it was necessary to bend down to hold the handle 4, which was also poor in usability.

In addition, it is difficult to dispose of the hose 6 and extension tube 6 when taking them off or storing them during or after use, and normally the hose 6 and extension tube 6 are left as they are. You can place the extension tube 6 on the floor, or put the hose 6, extension tube 6. The floor nozzle 7 has to be disconnected and stored in a closet, which is difficult to use and requires a lot of effort.

The present invention solves these conventional problems, and
This provides a vacuum cleaner that is easier to use.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a rotatable handle at the front upper part of the vacuum cleaner body so that the handle can be fixed when it is positioned upward. , an extension tube holder is provided on either the handle or the extension tube.

Function The present invention has the above-described structure, and the handle is rotatable and can be fixed at the top to make the handle easy to hold.The extension tube can also be held in the handle, and the handle can be attached to the handle of the vacuum cleaner body. , hose, and floor nozzle are connected, the extension tube can be propped up and held.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 7, 10 is the main body of the vacuum cleaner, and this main body 1o has a dust collection chamber 12 in which a dust collection bag 11 is removably built in on the front side, an electric blower 13 on the rear side, and a cord winder. A lower main body 16 forming a main body chamber 14 containing a device (not shown), etc., and an upper main body 16 covering the main body chamber 14. It consists of a dust lid 17 that covers the dust collection chamber 12.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a handle disposed on the front upper part of the main body 10, which is normally used for carrying the main body 10.

A front cover 19 is arranged at the front of the dust collection chamber 12 and fixed to the lower body 16, and has a suction port 21 to which a hose 20 is connected.

Reference numerals 22 and 23 are front wheels and rear wheels for movement disposed at the bottom of the lower body 16.

At the end of the hose 20 is an extension tube 24. A floor nozzle 26 is connected, and when in use, the tip of the hose 20 is held and the floor nozzle 26 is moved to suck in dust. At this time, the main body 10 is pulled around via a hose 20.

The handle 18 is rotatably supported on the dust cover 1, and the handle 18 can be fixed when the handle 18 is positioned upward.
A locking protrusion 26 is formed on the dust cover 8, and a recess 27 is formed on the dust lid 17.

Further, the handle 18 can be rotated and stored in the dust lid 17, so that the main body 1o does not become large due to the arrangement of the handle 18.

The dust lid 17 is detachably attached to the upper part of the dust collection chamber 12.

Although not shown in this embodiment, the dust cover 17
may be rotatably locked to the lower body 16.

2B is an extension tube holder detachably attached to the handle 18;
The holding portion is formed in a substantially C-shape and is capable of holding the extension tube 24 in a detachable manner.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, this extension tube holder 28 is used to attach a hose to the main body 10 when storing the main body 10 in an upright position after use, when cleaning the telephone or the surrounding area. 20. You will be able to release your hands with the extension tube 24 and floor nozzle 26 connected, but leave the extension tube 24 connected as is.
By leaning the hose 20 against the handle 18 that has been rotated upward and attaching the extension tube 24 to the extension tube holder 28, you can smartly attach the hose 20 and the extension tube 24. The floor nozzle 25 can be treated and the vacuum cleaner can be used immediately.

In addition, when cleaning the corners of the room or the tops of shelves, etc., the suction nozzle is converted to another suction nozzle, but as shown in FIG. 6, the floor nozzle 26 is attached to the extension pipe holder 28 and moved together with the main body 1o. It is possible.

Note that the extension tube holder 28 is attached to the extension tube 24,
It can also be detachably attached to the handle 18.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a rotatable handle is provided on the front upper part of the vacuum cleaner body and can be fixed when rotated upward. By attaching an extension tube holder to the pipe and arranging the handle to hold the extension tube, you can attach the extension tube to the handle of the main body and hold the extension tube with the hose, extension pipe, and floor nozzle connected to the main body. It can be used for storage, or when taking your hand off the hose while on the phone, etc., and can be used immediately. In addition, the hand is held at a high position, so there is no need to bend down, improving usability.

Furthermore, since the handle is rotatable, the main body can be made smaller, and when carrying the main body, the main body can be rotated while holding the handle, so there is no need to loosen the grip, and when putting the main body down, there is no need to loosen the grip. The handle is always located upwards, and the next time you pick up the handle, you don't have to bend over too much, making it ergonomically excellent and of great practical value.
