Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner for use in general households.

Configuration of the conventional example and its problems The conventional example will be explained below. In Figs. 1 and 2, attachment parts such as a gap nozzle 101 and a shelf nozzle 102 are stored in a main body case upper part 103, and a storage lid is placed to cover them. The storage lid 104 is rotatable at the rear part of the storage lid 104 by a hinge part 105 provided on the main body case 103, and the storage lid 104 is provided at the front central part of the storage lid 104. A knob 106 is provided to be pulled with a finger when opening and closing, and claws 107 made of resin elastic material formed on the storage lid 104 are provided on both sides of the knob 106, and these claws 106 are latched to the upper body case 103. When the main body is placed upright as shown in FIG. 2, if it is placed with a slight impact, the impact causes the storage lid 104 made of resin to deform instantaneously as shown by the broken line. Therefore, the claw 106 is also deformed,
It was inconvenient to use because the storage lid 104 would open due to lack of attachment, and the attachments inside would fall out.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional vacuum cleaner and provides an easy-to-use vacuum cleaner.

Structure of the Invention In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention has the following features:
There is an attachment storage area such as a gap nozzle and a shelf nozzle formed on the top surface of the main body case, and this attachment storage area can be opened and closed. and a storage lid provided with a claw that engages with the locking part to maintain the closed state, and from both side walls of the storage lid, ribs having a step part in the middle are formed in the front-rear direction, On the other hand, on both sides of the attachment housing portion of the main body case, grooves in the front-rear direction are provided, into which the ribs are fitted, and which have a step in the middle corresponding to the step.

Therefore, when an impact is applied to the storage lid, the ribs formed from both side walls of the storage lid and the stepped portions of the grooves formed on both sides of the attachment storage portion come into contact to prevent the storage lid from deforming. .

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS The embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Figures 3 to 6, 1 is the bottom of the main body case, and on the front side there is a dust collection part 3 that stores a paper bag 2.
A dust-containing lid 4 is disposed on its upper surface. The rear part of the dust-containing lid 4 is secured to the upper body case 6 by a claw 5 formed on the dust-containing lid 4, and the front part is secured to the main body case upper part 6 by a buckle 8 rotatably fixed to the intake port cover 7. is hooked and locked. Reference numeral 10 denotes an intake port gasket, which is fixed between the lower body case 1 and the intake port cover 7. Reference numeral 11 denotes an electric blower, which is sandwiched between a lower main body case 1 and an upper main case case 6 via a support rubber front 12. On the top 6 of the main body case,
A gap nozzle 13 and a shelf nozzle 14 are housed, and a storage lid 15 is disposed to cover the upper part of the nozzle.The rear part is rotatably held on the main body case 6 by a hinge part 16, and the front part is A claw 17 made of an elastic resin material is formed on the storage lid 15 and is engaged with a hole 18 formed on the top 6 of the main body case. Said claw 17
are provided in two places, and 19 is the storage lid 15.
This is the knob that you can hook your fingers on when opening the door. Reference numeral 20 denotes a rib formed on both side walls of the storage lid 15 in the front-rear direction, and a stepped portion 22 is provided in the middle.

On the other hand, grooves 21 in the front-rear direction are formed on both sides of the upper body case 6, into which the ribs 20 are fitted when the lid is closed. A stepped portion 23 is also provided in the middle of this groove 21, so that these stepped portions 22 and 23 are in contact with or come close to each other when the storage lid 15 is closed. 24 is a rear wheel, and 25 is a front wheel. 26 is a cord winding button which stops and starts the rotation of the cord reel 28 via a brake lever 27.

In the above configuration, the knob 1 of the storage lid 15
When the lid 9 is pulled up, the claw 17, which is a resin elastic body, is deformed, and the claw 17 is removed from the hole 18, and the storage lid 15 is opened and rotated about the hinge part 16. next,
When inserting the storage lid 15, press the upper part of the grip part 19 of the storage lid 15, and the claw 17 will be deformed by the action of the resin elastic body, as shown in FIG. 5, in the same way as when removing it. The claw 17 is locked. next,
As shown in FIG. 2 of the conventional example, when the main body is placed with the rear part facing down, the step 22 of the rib 20 formed on the storage lid 15 and the main body case 6 as shown in FIG. Since the groove 21 formed in the groove 21 is almost in contact with the stepped part 23, the storage lid 15 is prevented from shifting at the rear, so that the claw can be easily removed without causing deformation as shown in FIG. 17 does not come off, so the storage lid 15 never comes off.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, even if the main body is placed upright, which is often done when storing the main body in a closet or cleaning stairs, The storage lid does not open, which eliminates problems such as the attachments falling out when the storage lid opens, which is very effective.
