Description

  The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner.

  The conventional method of storing an electric vacuum cleaner is to place the vacuum cleaner body on the floor and fit the locking part of the pipe to the locked part provided on the vacuum cleaner main body. There is a stand storage that stores the vacuum cleaner so that the pipe stands upright.

  However, if the hose is long enough for comfortable use of the vacuum cleaner, the hose is greatly inflated in the conventional stand storage, which deteriorates the appearance and expands the storage space. There was a problem to do.

  In order to solve such a problem, a hose is provided with a locking tool, and an extension tube is provided with a locked tool. There was a thing which was made to store (for example, patent documents 1).

JP-A-2-98329

  However, in the conventional vacuum cleaner described in Patent Document 1 described above, the hose bends in an unintended direction when the vacuum cleaner is stored, and thus there is a problem in that the storage shape is not slim and the appearance is impaired. . In addition, since the user bends his / her waist to store the hose during storage, there is a problem that the burden on the body is heavy.

  The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric vacuum cleaner that can be stored easily and can be stored in a narrow width.

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the vacuum cleaner of the present invention includes a vacuum cleaner main body, a hose connected to the vacuum cleaner main body, an extension pipe, and a floor suction connected to the extension pipe. An electric vacuum cleaner having a tool and a suction grip portion , wherein the suction grip portion has a first tube body connected to one end of the extension tube and a second tube connected to one end of the hose. A body, a hose stopper is arranged on a part of the hose, and a locked portion for locking the hose stopper is formed at a rear end of the first tube body. When the floor is stored with the rear of the cleaner body facing the floor, it can be stored with the hose locking tool locked to the locked part , and the user can bend his or her waist. You can easily store the vacuum cleaner without having to do this, and you can realize a narrow and slim storage form by suppressing the bending of the hose. Can.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention can provide an electric vacuum cleaner that can be easily stored without bending over when storing the electric vacuum cleaner and can have a narrow storage form with a good appearance.
