[0015]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body case, which forms a ventilation space 2 through which air sucked from a bellows hose 11 described later passes, and the ventilation space 2 includes an electric blower storage chamber 15 of a hinge portion 9 described later and the main body. It communicates with the exhaust port 3 formed on the side surface of the case 1. Reference numeral 4 denotes a storage chamber formed on one side surface of the main body case 1, in which attachments such as an extension pipe 5 connected to a bellows hose 11, which will be described later, and a floor suction tool 6 are arranged in a plane and stored.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a shaft support portion formed on the other side surface of the body case 1 opposite to the side surface on which the exhaust port 3 is formed, and rotatably supports a lid case 8 described later.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a lid case, in which a hollow hinge portion 9 formed at one end is rotatably supported by a shaft supporting portion 7 of the main body case 1, and the storage chamber 4 of the main body case 1 is openably and closably closed. It is designed to be completed. Reference numeral 10 is a hose reel that is rotatably built in the lid case 8 and has its rotation axis arranged substantially horizontally, around which a bellows hose 11 is wound.
Numeral 10 is biased in a direction to wind up the bellows hose 11. Reference numeral 12 denotes a storage portion formed at the other end opposite to the hinge portion 9 of the lid case 8 and having a outlet 13 for the bellows hose 11 and a handle formed at the end portion of the bellows hose 11. It is designed to receive the part 14. Reference numeral 15 is a dust collecting chamber provided above the hinge portion 9, and 16 is an electric blower storage chamber provided below the dust collecting chamber 15 and having an electric blower 17 built therein. Reference numeral 18 denotes a connecting pipe that connects the bellows hose 11 and the dust collecting chamber 15 to each other.

When cleaning, the lid case 8 is rotated, the bellows hose 11 is pulled out from the hose outlet 13, and the extension tube 5 stored in the storage chamber 4 of the main body case 1 is rotated.
Also, the floor suction tool 6 is connected to the handle portion 14 of the bellows hose 11 for cleaning. At this time, the sucked air passes through the bellows hose 11, the connecting pipe 18, the dust collection chamber 15, the electric blower storage chamber 16, and the ventilation space 2 and is exhausted from the exhaust port 3. Since the lid case 8 is rotatably supported by the main body case 1, the lid case 8 is rotated in the direction in which the bellows hose 11 is pulled out as the cleaning location is moved during cleaning.
Since the hose outlet 13 faces in the direction in which the bellows hose 11 is pulled out, the bellows hose 11 can be pulled out easily and the usability is improved.

Further, since the lid case 8 can be cleaned simply by rotating it in the lateral direction, an object can be placed on the upper part of the main body case 1, and the space can be effectively used.

Further, since the bellows hose 11 is constructed so as to be wound in the vertical direction, the lid case 8 can be made thin, and the storage chamber 4 of the main body case 1 is provided with a flat attachment for the floor suction tool 6 and the like. The main body case 1 can also be made thin by arranging them side by side and storing them. Therefore, the entire vacuum cleaner can be made thin, and the aesthetic appearance is not impaired when it is installed indoors.

Further, the dust collecting chamber 15 is provided in the hinge portion 9 of the lid case 8.
Also, since the electric blower storage chamber 16 is arranged vertically, the bottom area of the main body case 1 can be made small, and the space can be saved and the entire vacuum cleaner has a thin shape. In addition, the strength of the hinge portion 9 is improved.

[0023]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the lid case is rotated in the cleaning direction during cleaning, it is easy to pull out the bellows hose and the usability is improved.

Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, by storing the attachment such as the floor suction tool in the storage portion of the main body case, the attachment can be easily replaced and the usability can be improved.

Further, according to the third aspect of the present invention, since the dust collecting chamber and the electric blower are vertically arranged in the hinge portion of the lid case, the bottom area of the entire cleaner can be reduced, and the cleaner can be installed indoors. Even if it does not spoil the appearance, the strength of the hinge portion is improved.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the bellows hose is housed in the lid case in a vertically wound manner, the lid case can be thinned and the entire vacuum cleaner can be thinned. However, it does not spoil the aesthetics.
