The vacuum cleaner connecting elbow shown in Patent Document 1 is required to be matched to the shape of the mouthpiece in order to use it attached to the rear of the mouthpiece. The shape of the mouthpiece differs depending on each manufacturer and model, and therefore lacked versatility.
Further, although this connection pad is a product independent of the mouthpiece, the attachment means for attaching to the mouthpiece and the hose is complicated, and the operability is not good.
The wiping and cleaning vacuum cleaner nozzle shown in Patent Document 2 requires a dedicated suction body because the dust cloth holder is housed in the suction body, and is not usable for a commercially available vacuum cleaner at all because of its low versatility. There were drawbacks.
The cover of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece shown in Patent Document 3 not only weakens the suction force to cover the suction part of the mouthpiece, but also wipes before dust collection with a cover in front of the suction part. Will be done.
As a result, the dust is pushed out to the front of the mouthpiece, so that there is a great disadvantage that the original dust collection amount cannot be obtained.
The present invention has been made to eliminate such drawbacks, and has a simple structure and is easy to attach to the suction body. The original dust collecting force of the vacuum cleaner is utilized as it is. The object is to provide a wiper for a vacuum cleaner that can be cleaned with dust.
