That is, when the first lead wire pressing portion 40d presses the first lead wire L1 against the surface of the tubular body 40, the first lead wire L1 can be prevented from rising.

Thereby, when attaching the left rear side cover 48d and the right rear side cover 48f to the tubular body 40, it is possible to make it difficult to bite the first lead L1 between both covers, and the work of attaching both covers Can be improved.
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 11, in a state where both covers 48d and 48f are attached to the tube body 40, a slight clearance is provided between the first lead wire pressing portion 40d and both covers 48d and 48f. Opposite with a gap. As will be described later, a second grip 49b is formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the covers 48d and 48f.

  In the above-described state, the left rear side cover 48d and the right rear side cover 48f are joined together from the left and right directions so that the cylindrical hose pressing part 48df and the cylindrical hose pressing part 48df extend forward. One connection portion 48dfa and a second connection portion 48dfb extending rearward from the hose holding portion 48df are formed.

The hose 3 is sandwiched between the hose pressing portion 48 df and the tube body 40 and fixed so as not to be detached from the tube body 40.
Further, the first connecting portion 48dfa enters and is fixed to the recessed portion 40a extending from the branch portion 45 formed in the tube body 40 to the edge of the exhaust side opening 42 of the tube body 40, and the surface is continuous with the outer surface of the tube body 40. Leads smoothly.
The second connection portion 48 dfb is connected to the branch portion 44 by sandwiching the branch rear end 44 c of the branch portion 44 between the left rear side cover 48 d and the right rear side cover 48 f from the left-right direction.

Moreover, since the outer diameter of the site | part comprised by the pipe body 40 to which the 1st connection part 48dfa was attached, and the 1st connection part 48dfa is smaller than the outer diameter of the hose holding | suppressing part 48df, between both site | parts Thus, a step Δd2 is formed.
By making the front side of the hose holding portion 48 df narrow (squeezed portion 48 dfc), the difference in the outer diameter between the portion formed by the tube body 40 and the first connection portion 48 dfa and the hose holding portion 48 df The resulting step difference Δd2 is smoothly connected (see FIG. 12).

  In the vicinity of the branch position 45 of the hand handle body 4 configured in this way, a second grip portion 49b that is a position to be gripped by the user is formed. The second grip portion 49b is a portion extending from the rear side of the left and right side covers 48b, 48c of the hand handle body 4 to the hose pressing portion 48df (shaded portion in FIG. 1).

Thus, the hand handle body 4 is provided with the first gripping portion 49a and the second gripping portion 49b.

Further, since the second gripping portion is provided at a position close to the tube body 40, the operation can be performed at a position closer to the dust collection connection body attached to the tube body 40, and the dust collection connection body can be Easy to match the position where is falling.

  Further, referring to FIGS. 12 to 14, by configuring the periphery of the second grip portion 49 b as described above, the hand handle body 4 is moved forward while the user grips the second grip portion 49 b. Since the step Δd1 is formed between the left and right side covers 48b and 48c and the tube body 40, the gripped fingers come into contact with the rear surfaces 481b and 481c of the left and right side covers 48b and 48c. It becomes a forward stopper.

  In particular, the rear surfaces 481b and 481c of the left and right side covers 48b and 48c are inclined to the rear with respect to the tube body 40. Therefore, when the user grasps the second grip 49b, 481b and 481c are easy to contact on the surface. Thereby, it is easy to apply the force from the hand to the hand handle body 4 and the operation is easy.

  Further, when the user grips the second grip portion 49b and pulls the hand handle body 4 backward, there is a step between the hose presser portion 48df and the tube body 40 which is the second grip portion 49b. Since Δd2 is formed, the hand comes into contact with the hose pressing portion 48df (squeezed portion 48dfc) and becomes a backward stopper.

  Further, since the second grip 49b is located in the vicinity of the branch position 45, when the user grips the second grip 49b, a hand is placed at the gap between the tube 40 and the branch 44. Will enter. Thereby, the lower surface of the branch part 44 can hold | maintain the upper surface of a hand, and operation of the hand handle body 4 becomes easier.

Furthermore, in a state where both covers 48d and 48f are attached to the tube body 40, the first lead wire pressing portion 40d and both covers 48d and 48f are opposed to each other with a slight clearance.
As a result, even if a force is applied to the second grip portion 49b and both the covers 48d and 48f are bent, the first lead wire pressing portion 40d receives the both covers 48d and 48f. The line is not pushed strongly against the covers 48d and 48f.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the positional relationship of each part and the front / rear / up / down / left / right orientations are determined by setting the hand handle body 4 and the tube body 40 from the intake side opening 41 to the bending position 43 in a horizontal state (state shown in FIG. 4).
