Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner capable of compactly storing vertically (hereinafter, stand storage).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a vacuum cleaner that can be stored in a stand, for example, as shown in FIG.
A suction hose 51 detachably connected to the cleaner main body 50; and a suction port 52 connected to the suction hose 51.
Includes a retractable suction pipe 53 that can be attached to the lower surface of the cleaner main body 50. In addition, this vacuum cleaner has a U-shaped transporting shape so that the cleaner main body 50 can be carried upright after the indoor cleaning is completed, or can be carried with the suction pipe 53 attached to the cleaner main body 50. Handle 5
4 are formed.

[0003]

However, in such a vacuum cleaner, as shown in FIG. 4, when the suction pipe 53 is contracted, the suction hose 51 is greatly relaxed in a C-shape in the upper space of the main body 50 of the cleaner. Get out. For this reason, the suction hose may be in the way, and it may be difficult to store the product in a gap such as a closet or a corner of furniture. Also, in this case, if you leave it indoors, not only does it look bad,
Part of the body may be caught by the suction hose and the vacuum cleaner may fall over.

[0004] In view of the circumstances described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner that can be compactly stored in a stand.

[0005]

The vacuum cleaner of the present invention comprises:
A vacuum cleaner main body, a suction hose detachably connected to a suction port of the vacuum cleaner main body, and a suction pipe connecting the suction hose and a suction tool, wherein the suction pipe includes: A holding tool having a locking portion locked to the formed locked portion is provided, a handle is formed at a connection portion of the suction hose to the cleaner body, and a holding portion holding the suction hose at the handle is provided. It is characterized by having been formed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a vacuum cleaner according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of the vacuum cleaner of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the vacuum cleaner in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, an electric vacuum cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a cleaner main body 1, a suction pipe 2, and a suction hose 3, and prevents the suction hose 3 from loosening. Holding section A for holding.

The cleaner body 1 has a built-in electric blower and a dust collecting portion (both not shown), and a dust collecting bag is detachably mounted on the dust collecting portion. A suction port 4 communicating with the dust collecting portion is opened at a front portion of the cleaner body 1,
The connection part 5 of the suction hose 3 is detachably connected.
On the other hand, a caster 6 and a pair of wheels 7 are attached to the front lower surface and the rear lower surface of the cleaner body 1, respectively.
The cleaner body 1 can freely move on a floor or the like. Further, since a locked portion (recess) 8 is formed in front of the lower surface of the cleaner main body 1, the suction pipe 2 connected to the suction hose 3 is provided with a holder provided on an inner cylinder 12 described later. The locking portion (hook) 10b of 10a is detachably attached to the concave portion 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes a clamp switch for engaging a suction tool 14 described later.

The suction pipe 2 includes an outer cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 1.
1 and an inner cylinder 12 slidably disposed in
The clamp switch 13 is released so that it can be expanded and contracted, and the suction tool 14 at the tip is detachably connected. Reference numeral 15 denotes a grip for operating the suction pipe 2 for cleaning.

The holding section A is formed on a carrying handle 16 formed on the connection section 5. In the present invention,
The structure of the suction hose 3 is not particularly limited as long as it can prevent and reduce the slack of the suction hose 3, and can be set as appropriate.
A hose fitting part 17 is formed at the lower part of the tube 6, and a pair of holding claws 18 can be formed so that the fitting part 17 holds the suction hose 3. It is preferable that the inner wall surfaces of the fitting portion 17 and the holding claws 18 have a semicircular shape substantially equal to the outer diameter of the suction hose. With such a semicircular shape, a part of the suction hose 3 bent in a U-shape can be smoothly attached to and detached from the fitting portion 17 with one touch by utilizing the elasticity of the holding claw 18.

In this embodiment, since the suction hose holding means including the fitting portion and the holding portion is provided on the handle of the attachment, the number of parts and the number of processes are reduced, and the increase in production cost is suppressed. be able to.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention,
By holding a part of the suction hose by the suction hose holding means, it is possible to prevent the suction hose from being loosened in the storage state of the stand, so that a compact stand can be stored. And since the exterior is clean even in the room, it looks good. The present invention is particularly effective when the retractable suction pipe is stored in a stand in a contracted state.
