Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric vacuum cleaner used at home.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional vacuum cleaner of this type has a structure as shown in FIG. 6, for example.

That is, the upper part of the main body is composed of an upper main body member 1, a dust collecting lid and a handle 2, and the dust collecting lid is attached to the upper main body member 1 by an L-shaped support lever 4 having a rotating shaft 3 for allowing rotation. ing.

In the above configuration, in order to make it easier to remove the handle 2 from the dust collecting lid, the protrusion a of the rotating shaft 3 from the handle 2 must be smaller than the gap b from the support lever 4 to the handle 2. However, if the handle 2 is easily removed from the dust collecting lid, the rotating shaft 3 is easily moved, and the rotating shaft 3 is easily separated from the upper main body member 1, which poses a safety problem.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, in the conventional technique, when the grip is easily removed from the dust cover, the rotation shaft is easily moved, and the dust cover is easily disengaged from the upper main body member. On the contrary, if the serviceability is improved to make it easier to remove, the dust collection lid will be easier to come off than the upper body member, and holding the handle or the dust collection lid may cause the body to come off, causing a safety problem. There was a conflict between sex and safety.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a vacuum cleaner main body having a dust collecting chamber and the like, and a substantially L-shaped support lever having a rotation shaft, which is pivotally supported on the vacuum cleaner main body. And a handle which is hollow and has a shaft hole near the end and which is rotatably held by the dust cover. Inside the handle, a part of the support lever is provided. The rotation shaft of the built-in support lever is inserted into the shaft hole, and notches are provided on the opposite side of the rotation shaft of the support lever end, and inward projections are formed at both ends of the outer wall of the handle. Each of the rib bodies is provided so that the rib body comes into contact with the support lever when the handle is erected and is located in the notch when the handle is lying down.

Operation By adopting these configurations, the electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention has the following operation.

A notch is provided on the side opposite to the rotation axis of the support lever end, and ribs projecting inward are provided at both ends of the outer wall of the handle, and the rib is positioned inside the notch when the handle is folded down. This allows the handle to be freely removed.

Since the rib body is brought into contact with the support lever when the handle is erected, the support lever does not spread and fall off when the vacuum cleaner is lifted for carrying.

Examples Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5, the cleaner body is a lower body member 5
And the upper body member 6 are joined together, and has a dust collecting lid 7 and a handle 8 on the upper side. A rear portion of the dust collecting lid 7 is rotatably attached to the upper body member 6 by an L-shaped support lever 10 having a rotation shaft 9, and a notch is provided on the opposite side of the rotation lever 9 of the support lever 10. The part 11 is provided. Next, the handle 8 is substantially U-shaped, and a turning groove 12 is provided in the vicinity of the end portion of the inner wall, and is incorporated in the turning shaft 9 of the support lever 10. Further, a rib body 13 is provided inside the outer wall of the U-shaped end of the handle 8.

In the above configuration, in order to make it easier to remove the handle 8 from the dust-collecting lid 7, in the case where the handle 8 and the dust-collecting lid 7 are in a normal state (parallel state) (shown in FIG. 5), the rotation shaft 9 from the handle 8 is rotated. The gap B between the support lever 10 and the handle 8 is larger than the protrusion A due to the notch 11. Therefore, the support lever moves in the handle 8 and the rotation shaft 9 is easily disengaged from the rotation groove 12, so that serviceability can be improved. Next, in the case of holding the grip 8 for moving the main body or holding the dust collecting lid 7 itself (the grip 8 and the dust collecting lid 7 are vertical) (shown in FIG. 6), the grip 8 Since the rib body 13 provided at the end contacts the outer wall of the support lever 10, the support lever 10 is held by the handle 8
It becomes impossible to move inside, so that there is no fear that the rotating shaft 9 will come off from the upper body member 6, and the safety can be improved.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the vacuum cleaner according to the present invention has the following operational effects as described below.

A notch is provided on the side opposite to the rotation axis of the support lever end, and ribs projecting inward are provided at both ends of the outer wall of the handle, and the rib is positioned inside the notch when the handle is folded down. As a result, the handle can be freely removed and the serviceability at the time of repair is improved.

Further, since the rib body is brought into contact with the support lever when the handle is erected, the support lever does not spread out and fall off when lifted for carrying the vacuum cleaner, which is excellent in usability and safety. Is.
