The biasing force of the leaf spring 27 causes the latching means 25 to lock in the locking direction X. The power of work. Since the locking shaft portion 30 is about 3 to 5 mm longer than the locking bearing portion 29, the distal end portion of the locking shaft portion 30 is 3 to 5 mm from the end portion of the locking bearing portion 29 due to the urging force of the leaf spring 27. It protrudes about 5 mm.

  Similarly, the lock release button 28 protrudes from the opening provided in the filter cover 11 by the urging force of the leaf spring 27. The protruding dimension of the locking release button 28 from the opening is set to be not less than the maximum dimension at which the tip of the locking shaft 30 protrudes from the end of the locking bearing 29, for example, 5 mm when protruding 5 mm. This is the operation dimension of the lock release button 28.

  The leading end portion of the locking shaft portion 30 that protrudes about 3 to 5 mm from the end portion of the locking bearing portion 29 by the urging force of the plate spring 27 enters the locking portion 26 provided in the upper case 2. The filter cover 11 and the upper case 2 are locked and fixed so that the filter unit 23 is accommodated between the filter cover 11 and the upper case 2 (see FIG. 4).

  After that, when using the vacuum cleaner 100, the dust collector 8 must be attached, but even if you forget to lock the filter cover 11 and the upper case 2, the dust collector 8 can be locked. It has come to be.

  FIGS. 11A to 11D are operation diagrams of the locking means in which the main part of the section around the locking means 25 is enlarged. As shown in FIG. 11A, an inclined shape portion 31 is provided on the lower side of the distal end portion of the locking shaft portion 30 toward the locking portion 26. When the filter cover 11 is pushed in the locking direction Y without operating the locking release button 28, the inclined portion 31 comes into contact with the corner 39 of the side wall 38 where the locking portion 26 is provided.

When the filter cover 11 is further pushed in from the contacted state, the corner portion 39 of the side wall 38 provided with the locking portion 26 is inclined while resisting the urging force of the leaf spring 27 as shown in FIG. The shape portion 31 slides, and the locking means 25 moves in the locking release direction while resisting the urging force of the leaf spring 27. Then, as shown in FIG. 11C, the distal end portion of the locking shaft portion 30 is pushed in the locking direction while contacting the side wall 38.

  When the locking shaft portion 30 comes to the place where the locking portion 26 is provided, the locking shaft portion 30 enters the locking portion 26 by the urging force of the leaf spring 27 as shown in FIG. Thus, the filter cover 11 and the upper case 2 are locked.

  Thus, when the filter cover 11 is pushed in, the filter cover 11 and the upper case 2 are locked, but the dust collector 8 is provided with push ribs 33 as shown in FIG. The push-in rib 33 is provided at a position in contact with the corner portion in the vicinity where the locking means 25 of the filter cover 11 is provided from above in a state where the dust collector 8 is attached.

  Therefore, if the dust collector 8 is to be mounted in a state where the filter cover 11 is not locked, the pushing rib 33 contacts the corner portion in the vicinity where the locking means 25 of the filter cover 11 is provided during the mounting. Therefore, the filter cover 11 is pushed in the locking direction by the pushing rib 33.

  Then, since the locking means 25 has the above-described configuration, even if the filter cover 11 is not locked, if the dust collector 8 is attached at the time of use, the operation of attaching the dust collector 8 is performed. Among them, the filter cover 11 is also locked, and the filter cover 11 is easily and reliably locked at almost the same timing as when the dust collector 8 is attached to the main body 1.

  Here, the filter cover 11 is described as being locked by attaching the dust collector 8 when the filter cover 11 is not locked (forgotten). Even when the filter cover 11 is properly locked by hand before the dust collector 8 is attached, the filter cover 11 can be easily locked by pushing it in.

  When the filter cover 11 is released from the locked state as described above, the lock release button 28 is operated in the direction opposite to the lock direction X against the urging force of the leaf spring 27. However, since the lock release buttons 28 are provided so as to operate independently as a pair, only one of them can be released from the locked state. Therefore, from both sides, the operation is simultaneously performed so that the lock release button 28 is grasped with a finger or the like.

  As a result, the respective locking shaft portions 30 slide in the locking bearing portions 29, and the distal end portions of the locking shaft portions 30 move in the direction in which they are removed from the locking portions 26. The locking dimension between the distal end portion of the locking shaft portion 30 and the locking portion 26 is about 3 to 5 mm in which the distal end portion of the locking shaft portion 30 protrudes from the end portion of the locking bearing portion 29. As described above, the operation dimension of the locking release button 28 is set to be equal to or larger than the maximum dimension in which the tip end portion of the locking shaft portion 30 protrudes from the end portion of the locking bearing portion 29, for example, 5 mm or more when protruding 5 mm. It is released reliably.

  If the lock release button 28 is grasped and lifted up from the released state, the filter cover 11 is about 90 degrees rearward about the rotation shaft 32 as shown in FIG. 7B. It can be easily opened at an angle, and the filter unit 23 can be taken out.
