Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to the structure of a handle for a vacuum cleaner. [Prior art 1] As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2-136118, there is a conventional device in which a convex boss shaft is provided on the main body, a hole is made in the handle, and the weir body is fixed to the main body. There were problems with its strength and lifespan. [Problem to be solved by the invention 1] In the above-mentioned conventional vacuum cleaner, the fitting strength between the main body and the handle is
It is not very strong, and in the worst case scenario, if you hold the handle and lift it, there is a risk that the vacuum cleaner itself will fall. A first object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a vacuum cleaner that has a strong main body and a handle that are securely connected. The second object of the present invention is to make it easier to connect the main body and the handle.
An object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a vacuum cleaner. A third object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a vacuum cleaner in which the connecting member (metal shaft) between the main body and the handle is not visible from the outside. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above first objective, a fitting hole is provided in the handle portion of the vacuum cleaner body, and a fitting hole is provided in the handle of an elongated cylindrical metal rod. A member is provided to allow the handle to rotate freely through the handle, while making the metal rod invisible from the outside, and this member is also provided with a through hole for the metal rod to pass through.
This member is securely fixed to the main body with screws or the like, and the handle is securely fixed to the main body by passing both ends of the metal rod through fitting holes provided in the main body. In order to achieve the second objective, several vertical ribs are provided inside the member, grooves are provided in the ribs, and when a metal rod is passed through the member, it enters the grooves one after another and acts as a guide. , which improves ease of assembly. In order to achieve the third object, a hollow cylindrical horizontal boss is provided in the handle portion, and the metal rod passes through the hollow portion so that the metal rod is not visible from the outside. [Function] The U-shaped handle located at the top of the vacuum cleaner body has holes large enough to fit an elongated metal rod near the tips on both sides. is rotatable. Also, in this state, the metal rod is visible from the outside, so a member is provided between the U-shaped handles to hide the metal rod. A hole is also provided in the member for the metal rod to fit through, and the two parts, the handle and the member, are inserted into the metal rod, and both ends of the metal rod are passed through the fitting holes provided on the main body side, so that the handle and the main body are attached. It has a structure that allows - By fixing the force member and the main body with screws, etc., the strength of the attachment between the handle and the main body is increased. Furthermore, when a metal rod is passed through a handle or a fitting hole of a member, grooves are provided in several lips on the inside of the member, so that the metal rod functions as a guide while fitting into the recesses. On the other hand, since the metal rod passes through a hollow post rib provided on the handle, the metal rod is not visible from the outside. (Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 shows a main body case of the vacuum cleaner, which has a U-shaped handle 2 at the top of the case. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the handle 2 has a fitting hole 5 for fitting the elongated metal rod 4 near its tip. The handle 2 is rotatable with the metal rod 4 as the rotation axis, and when lifting the vacuum cleaner body, raise the handle 2 upwards by 90' and hold it, or conversely, lay it down horizontally as shown in Figure 1. It has a structure in which the handle 2 can be stored.On the other hand, in order to hide the metal rod 4, a cover 3 is provided as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 is a top view and a side view of the member. , the metal rod has a fitting hole 6 and is fitted as shown in FIG. 2. FIG. is for screwing the member 3 and the main body case 1, and the groove 7 provided in the vertical rib 9 serves as a guide when the metal rod 4 is inserted.Handle 2 and the member 3 to the main body case L, first pass the metal rod 4 through one side of the fitting hole 5 of the handle 2, then pass it through the fitting hole 6 of the part 3, and then through the guide groove 7. Fitting hole 6 on one side
and finally into the fitting hole 5 of the handle 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the metal rods on both sides of the handle 3 have a length of several hemlocks. By passing the projecting portion of the metal rod 4 through two fitting holes provided on the main body case side, it is fixed as shown in FIG. 6 (view of the main body case from below). - The force member 3 is fixed to the main body case 1 with screws 9 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, a hollow boss rib 10 is provided so that the metal rod 4 is not visible when the handle 2 is rotated 90 degrees upward. I try not to.

【Effect of the invention】

According to the present invention, since it is configured as described above, the following effects can be achieved. (1) According to the vacuum cleaner of claim 1.2, it is possible to provide a vacuum cleaner with strong attachment strength between the handle and the main body. (2) According to claim 3, the handle and the main body are attached by providing a rib that serves as a guide for the metal rod, thereby making assembly easier and simpler. (4) According to claim 4, since the rotating shaft is hidden in the central part of the boss, the appearance is not spoiled.
