[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a main body containing a dust collecting chamber and an electric blower, a handle rotatably mounted on an upper part of the main body, and A suction tool having an opening is provided, and the suction tool is provided with a holding portion for holding the handle during storage.

[0007] With the above configuration, the handle can be held by the holding portion provided on the suction tool when the handle is stored, and the stability when the stand is stored is improved.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A main body containing a dust collecting chamber and an electric blower, a handle rotatably mounted on an upper part of the main body, and a suction tool having an opening on a lower surface, wherein the suction tool holds the handle when stored. Since the holding section is provided, the stability when the stand is stored is improved.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a first handle portion having a handle provided on an upper portion of a main body, and a second handle portion rotatably attached to the first handle portion via a joint. Since the second handle portion can be rotated more freely, it can be easily held by the holding portion provided on the suction tool when the handle is stored.

[0010]

(Embodiment 1) A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

1 to 3, a main body 13 having a dust collecting chamber 10, a cord winding device 11, and an electric blower 12 built therein.
In addition, a first handle 14 and a second handle 15 rotatably mounted on the upper part of the main body 13 are provided. The first handle 14 is provided with a bearing 17 having a shaft hole 16 on the front side of the main body 13. Also, the first handle 1
A fitting hole 20 is provided inside the four ends, and a buckle 19 urged by a spring 18 to be engaged with the second handle 15 is provided.

The second handle 15 is provided with a bearing portion 22 having a long shaft hole 21 on the front side of the main body 13. A fitting shaft 23 is provided at the tip of the second handle 15, and a groove 24 for engaging with the buckle 19 of the first handle 14 is provided on the outer surface of the fitting shaft 23.

The bearing portion 17 of the first handle 14 and the second
The bearing portion 22 of the handle 15 is connected via a joint 25 having shafts 25a and 25b.

A suction tool 26 having an opening is provided on the lower surface of the main body 13, and the suction tool 26 is connected to the main body 13 so as to rotatably clamp a connection pipe 27. Further, a holding portion 28 having an upper opening for holding the distal end of the second handle 15 is provided on the outer shell in front of the suction tool 26.

The operation of the above configuration is as follows.

In use, the fitting hole 2 of the first handle 14 is
0 and the fitting shaft 23 of the second handle 15 are fitted. At this time, the buckle 19 of the first handle 14 and the second handle 15
The groove 24 on the outer surface of the fitting shaft 23 is engaged. Here, by unlocking the buckle 19, the first handle 14 and the second handle 15 can be separated.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the joint 25 pivots about 180 ° toward the front side of the main body 13 about the shaft 25a around the shaft hole 16 of the bearing portion 17 provided in the first handle 14 as a fulcrum. Further, since the long hole 21 of the bearing portion 22 provided in the second handle 15 is connected to the shaft 25b of the joint 25, the second handle 1
5 rotates about 180 ° to the front side of the main body 13 in the same manner as the joint 25, and the tip of the second handle 15 can be held by the holding portion 28 provided on the outer shell in front of the suction tool 26. If the user tries to rotate the main body 13 back and forth in this state, the second
Since the tip of the handle 15 is held by the locking portion 28 of the suction tool 26, the main body 13 does not rotate, that is, the stability of the main body 13 is improved.

Further, the suction tool 26 is fixed and the second handle 1
5 When the tip is pulled out to the upper side of the main body, the shaft 25b of the joint 25 is
Can be displaced within the range of the long hole 21 of the bearing portion 22 provided on the second handle 15 so that the holding of the handle 15 and the suction tool 26 can be disengaged, and the holding provided on the suction tool 26 with a simple configuration. The operation of holding and disengaging the second handle 15 can be easily performed by the portion 28.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
The handle can be held by the holding portion provided on the suction tool when the handle is stored, and a cleaner with improved stability when the stand is stored can be provided.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the first handle portion and the second handle portion provided on the upper portion of the main body are rotatably attached via the joint, so that the suction tool is stored when the handle is stored. Can be easily held and disengaged by the holding portion provided in the above.
