Conventional vacuum cleaners are well known as so-called vacuum cleaners.

Electric appliances and vacuum cleaners have an intake port on the front of the main body.
A dust collection chamber having a filtration filter is attached in communication with this suction port, and a suction blower motor and an exhaust port are provided behind the dust collection chamber. One end of a flexible hose is connected to the intake port.

Various cleaning tools such as a floor brush are attached to the other end.

A conventional vacuum cleaner is configured as described above, and when the blower motor is operated, an air flow is generated from the intake port to the exhaust port, and the air containing dust sucked from the cleaning tool at the narrow end of the hose is transferred from the hose to the intake port. Enter the dust collection chamber through the mouth. and,
Only air is exhausted from the waste pit to the outside via the blower motor. In this process, 11! Dust is filtered and accumulated in the dust collection chamber.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional vacuum cleaner as described above, since the hose is separate from the vacuum cleaner, there is a problem in that a dedicated storage case is required to store the hose.

This invention was made to solve the above problems, and not only can a single hose be used for multiple purposes, but also eliminates the need for a dedicated storage case to store the hose. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hose storage device for a vacuum cleaner.

[Means to solve the problem]

A hose storage device for a vacuum cleaner according to the present invention.

One end of the hose is connected to the intake port, the other end is connected to the exhaust port, or one end is connected to the intake port and the other end is connected to the exhaust port. 1. A storage chamber for storing the hose is provided at the rear of the main body. It was established.

[Effect]

In this invention, the hose is connected to the intake port or the exhaust port, so when one end of the hose is connected to the intake port, air is sucked from the other end of the hose, and when the other end of the hose is connected to the exhaust port, air is sucked from the other end of the hose. Once the air has been exhausted from one end of the hose, if one end of the hose is connected to the intake port and the other end is connected to the exhaust port, the air discharged from the exhaust port will be sucked through the intake port and a circulating air path will be formed. Also.

Because there is a hose storage room at the rear of the main unit.

After use, the hose is stored in this storage chamber.
