Subsequently, to an end part of this handle part 11, a second pipe 13 is connected through a bellows hose 12, and at the time of cleaning a clearance, etc., cleaning is executed by detaching a second pipe 13, and installing an attachment 15 for a clearance in its tip.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an upright type vacuum cleaner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an upright type electric vacuum cleaner of this type is described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-147643 (A47L9 / 00). This vacuum cleaner connects an air intake part formed below the main body of the vacuum cleaner and a dust collection chamber formed above the main body of the vacuum cleaner with a bellows hose to clean a gap such as furniture or a high place. Removes the end of the bellows hose that is connected to the intake side and connects the end with a pipe or attachment housed in the cleaner body for cleaning.

However, according to this structure, every time the gap is cleaned, the hose must be removed and the pipe and the attachment must be attached to the tip of the hose, which is troublesome and inconvenient.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an upright electric vacuum cleaner which is easy to use.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a cleaner main body having a dust collection chamber and an electric blower storage chamber, a suction tool communicating with the dust collection chamber via an intake section, and one end of the suction section to the intake section. And a pipe having a handle portion which communicates with each other, and a part of the pipe is formed of a flexible hose.

Further, according to the present invention, a cleaner main body having a dust collecting chamber and an electric blower housing chamber, a suction tool having an intake portion which is mounted in communication with the dust collecting chamber, and one end of which is connected to the intake portion. , A first pipe forming a handle portion at the other end, a bellows hose connected to the first pipe, and a second pipe connected to the bellows hose and the other end detachably connected to the cleaner body.
And a pipe.

[0007]

According to the structure of claim 1 of the present invention, since a part of the pipe provided in the cleaner main body and having the handle portion is constituted by the flexible hose, it is possible to clean a gap or a high place of furniture. Can be easily cleaned with the tip of the pipe facing upward.

According to the second aspect of the present invention,
Since the first pipe having the handle portion provided on the cleaner body and the second pipe detachably locked to the cleaner body are connected by the bellows hose, the second pipe is used when cleaning a gap or a high place. By removing the pipe from the cleaner body, it is possible to easily clean the second pipe upward.

Further, the other end of the second pipe is detachably engaged with the cleaner body, so that air is not leaked from the second pipe while the floor surface is being cleaned by the suction tool body, and the cleaner is not removed. The decrease in suction force of the main body is prevented.

[0010]

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

Reference numeral 1 denotes a cleaner body, which has a dust collecting chamber 3 containing a dust collecting bag 2 below and an electric blower housing chamber 5 containing an electric blower 4 above. A switch 6 is provided on the upper surface of the vacuum cleaner body 1, and controls the drive of the electric blower 4. 7 is provided on the upper surface of the cleaner body 1, and is an engaging portion made of an elastic material such as rubber, and the end portion of a second pipe 13 described later is detachably press-fitted.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a floor suction tool, which is connected to the dust collection chamber 3 of the cleaner body 1 through an air intake portion 9 formed integrally with the floor suction tool 8.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a first pipe which is disposed in the cleaner body 1 and has one end communicating with the air intake portion 9.
The other end of 10 projects from the upper surface of the cleaner body 1, and a substantially arcuate handle 11 is formed at the other end. 12 is the first
The bellows hose connected to the other end of the pipe 10, 13 is a second pipe connected to the bellows hose 12, and the second pipe 13 is detachably press-fitted into the locking portion 7 of the cleaner body 1. It is like this. Reference numeral 14 denotes an attachment holder provided on the second pipe 13 so that the clearance attachment 15 and the like can be detachably mounted.

When cleaning the floor surface, when the switch 6 is pressed to drive the electric blower 4, the dust sucked from the floor suction tool 8 is accumulated in the dust collecting bag 2. At this time, the first pipe connected to communicate with the intake portion 9 of the suction tool body 8.
Although air is also attempted to be sucked in from the first pipe 10, since the tip of the second pipe 13 connected to the first pipe 10 via the bellows hose 12 is press-fitted into the elastic locking portion 7, the first pipe 10
It is possible to prevent a decrease in suction force of the cleaner body 1 due to air leakage from the cleaner.

When cleaning a gap or a high place of furniture, the second pipe 13 is removed from the engaging portion 7 of the cleaner body 1, but the handle portion 11 and the second pipe 13 are accordion hoses 12. Since it is connected with, the second pipe 13 can be easily cleaned upward when cleaning a high place, and the work of attaching and detaching a separate attachment to the pipe is omitted, and the usability is improved. .

The clearance attachment 15 housed in the attachment holder 14 may be attached to the tip of the second pipe 13 for cleaning.

[0017]

According to the structure of claim 1 of the present invention, since a part of the pipe is composed of a flexible hose, the tip of the pipe is moved upward when cleaning a gap or a high place of furniture. Can be easily cleaned towards. Therefore, the pipe integrally forming the handle for steering the cleaner main body can be used as the gap suction tool, and the labor for attaching and detaching the separate attachment can be saved and the usability is improved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention,
Since the first pipe having the handle portion provided on the cleaner body and the second pipe detachably locked to the cleaner body are connected by the bellows hose, the second pipe is used when cleaning a gap or a high place. By removing the pipe from the cleaner body, it is possible to easily clean the second pipe upward. Therefore, since the pipe integrally forming the handle for steering the cleaner body can be used as the gap suction tool, it is possible to save the labor of attaching and detaching the separate attachment and improve the usability.
