DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an attachment for holding an accessory, which is suitable for a vacuum cleaner, especially for a small-sized handy type.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in general household vacuum cleaners,
Accessories such as extension tubes, gap nozzles, and spare paper bags were housed in a case where the main body of the vacuum cleaner fitted as a lid.

In a small-sized handy type vacuum cleaner,
In the past, the power rate was low, so the extension pipe was not used, and it was used for a different purpose from general vacuum cleaners.In recent years, however, due to the improvement in suction power, the extension pipe has been connected to a normal vacuum cleaner. It can be used as well. However, this type of handy type vacuum cleaner is characterized in that it is small, convenient to carry, and inexpensive, and from this, the use of such a case has never been considered. , Accessories are stored in a different place or stored together in a storage bag so that they can be carried around.
When necessary, they should go to the storage area or take them out of their storage bags and use them.

[0004]

In the above-described conventional method for storing accessories, when a case that fits into the main body of the vacuum cleaner is used, it takes time and effort to prepare at the start of use and to store it after use. There is a problem that the convenience is poor, and since the overall dimensions including the case are large, there is a problem that the vacuum cleaner itself is bulky to store, and this case causes a cost increase. .

Also, if accessories are stored separately from the main body of the vacuum cleaner, it is necessary to go to the storage area one by one when necessary, which is not only time-consuming, but also requires separate accessories in some cases. And there is also a risk of loss.

When accessories are stored together in a bag, the risk of loss is reduced, but when it is necessary to use the vacuum cleaner, go to the place where the bags are placed or clean the bags. It had to be carried with the main body of the machine, which also had the problem of lack of convenience.

[0007] The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.
And hold the accessories of the vacuum cleaner integrally outside the main unit.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an attachment for holding.
