  • the vacuum cleaner 2 further comprises a biasing element 43 configured to bias the control member 23 towards the rest position, and a biasing member 44 configured to bias the activation member 24 towards the position inactive.
  • the biasing element 43 is formed by an elastically deformable tab which is provided on the control member 23 and which is configured to be elastically deformed when the control member 23 is moved. in the command position.
  • the elastically deformable tab can for example extend from the first gripping part 28 and be configured to bear against the main body 3 or the motor casing 12.
  • the biasing member 44 is formed by a compression spring, and the return arm 32 of the activation member 24 comprises a receiving housing 45 in which is partially housed the compression spring.
  • the biasing member 44 can for example be configured to bear on the one hand against a bottom wall of the receiving housing 45 and on the other hand against the main body 3 or the motor casing 12.
  • the motor-driven fan 13 When the motor-driven fan 13 is electrically powered, it establishes a depression in particular in the waste separation device 5 so that air and waste are sucked in through the suction duct 19. The air laden with waste then enters the waste storage container 7 via the air inlet opening of the waste separation device 5 which can for example emerge tangentially into the waste storage container 7. The air is thus rotated and the waste is centrifuged outward and this waste is collected by the waste storage container 7.
  • the air flow then flows successively through the air outlet opening of the waste separation device 5, the air inlet orifice 14 of the suction device 6 and the air discharge 15 from the suction device 6. Then, the flow of air escapes out of the main body 3 through air discharge openings 46 provided on the latter.
  • At least one, and for example each, of the first and second contacts 26, 27 comprises several conductive tracks, for example two conductive tracks, which can be obtained by screen printing or by printing .
  • at least one, and preferably each, of the control member 23 and of the activation member 24 comprises an additional contact comprising at least one conductive element, such as a pad made of conductive material or an additional conductive track which is configured to cooperate with the conductive tracks provided on the respective contact.
