Abstract

A surface cleaning apparatus comprises a cyclone wherein the cyclone chamber is openable along a line that extends axially along the cyclone chamber sidewall.

Claims (20)

  1. CLAIMS:
    1 . A surface cleaning apparatus comprising: (a) an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet; (b) a cyclone bin assembly provided in the air flow path, the cyclone bin assembly comprising a cyclone chamber, a cyclone air inlet, a cyclone air outlet, a cyclone axis of rotation, an axially extending cyclone chamber sidewall extending between first and second axially opposed ends; and, (c) a suction motor provided in the air flow path, wherein the cyclone chamber sidewall has a first portion that is moveably mounted with respect to a second portion of the cyclone chamber sidewall between a closed position in which the first and second portions meet at a first juncture and a second juncture and an open position in which the cyclone chamber is opened, and wherein the first juncture extends at an angle to a plane that is transverse to the cyclone axis of rotation.
  2. 2. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first juncture extends generally axially.
  3. 3. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first portion is pivotally mounted to the surface cleaning apparatus about a pivot axis and the pivot axis extends through the cyclone chamber.
  4. 4. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 wherein the cyclone air outlet is provided at the first opposed end and the second opposed end comprises an end wall that is moveable with the first portion.
  5. 5. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 wherein the cyclone air outlet comprises a screen and the screen is moveably mounted with respect to one of the sidewall portions.
  6. 6. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 5 wherein the screen is pivotally mounted to one of the sidewall portions.
  7. 7. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 5 wherein the screen is removable after the first portion is moved to the open position.
  8. 8. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cyclone air outlet is provided at the first opposed end, the cyclone air outlet comprises a screen, the second opposed end comprises an end wall and the surface cleaning apparatus further comprises a generally axially extending member provided in the cyclone chamber at the opposed end.
  9. 9. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 wherein the cyclone air outlet is provided at the first opposed end and the second opposed end comprises an end wall that is moveable mounted with respect to the first and second portions.
  10. 10. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 9 wherein the end wall is pivotally mounted to one of the first and second portions.
  11. 11. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first portion is pivotally mounted to the surface cleaning apparatus about a pivot axis and the pivot axis extends generally axially.
  12. 12. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 1 wherein the pivot axis is positioned external to the cyclone chamber.
  13. 13. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 1 wherein the pivot axis comprises a piano hinge.
  14. 14. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 1 wherein the pivot axis is aligned with the cyclone axis of rotation.
  15. 15. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 1 1 wherein the pivot axis extends through the cyclone chamber and each of the first and second portions comprises an axial cylindrical segment.
  16. 16. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 15 wherein the first juncture extends generally axially.
  17. 17. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 2 wherein the second juncture that extends generally parallel to the first juncture and is angularly spaced around the cyclone chamber from the first juncture, whereby the first portion is axially translatable with respect to the second portion.
  18. 18. A surface cleaning apparatus comprising: (a) an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet; (b) a cyclone bin assembly provided in the air flow path, the cyclone bin assembly comprising a cyclone chamber, a cyclone air inlet, a cyclone air outlet, a cyclone axis of rotation, an axially extending cyclone chamber sidewall extending between first and second axially opposed ends; and, (c) a suction motor provided in the air flow path, wherein the cyclone chamber sidewall has a first axially extending portion that is moveably mounted with respect to a second axially portion of the cyclone chamber sidewall between a closed position in which the first and second portions abut and an open position in which the cyclone chamber is opened.
  19. 19. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 18 wherein the first axially extending portion of the sidewall is pivotally mounted to the surface cleaning apparatus about a pivot axis and the pivot axis is generally transverse to the cyclone axis of rotation.
  20. 20. The surface cleaning apparatus of claim 19 wherein the cyclone air outlet is provided at the first opposed end, the pivot axis is provided at the first opposed end, the cyclone air outlet comprises a screen and the screen is moveably mounted with respect to the second axially extending portion of the sidewall.
