DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A case where a vacuum cleaner of the present invention is applied to a canister type vacuum cleaner will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In the electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention, an electric blower 14 and the like are provided in a main body 13 formed by a lower body 11 and an upper body 12, and a dust collecting chamber for storing a dust collecting bag is formed. A case cover 16 having an opening / closing knob 15 for attaching a dust bag to the dust collecting chamber is attached to the main body 12 so as to be openable and closable, and a dust meter 17 is provided on the main body 12 and a cord reel is operated. A button 18 is provided, and a main body pipe 22 of a connection hose 21 is connected to a suction port 19 of the main body 13 by a clamp button 20 so as to be separable from the main body 13.
The lower body 11 of the lower body 11 is provided with a traveling free wheel 24 and a pair of wheels 25, the right side surface 11a of the lower body 11 is provided with a right handle 26a, and the left side surface 11b is provided with a left handle 26b.
Is provided.

In the above structure, as shown in FIG. 3, the right handle 26a and the left handle 26b have a handle body 27 made of a hard material such as plastic inside and a bumper made of a soft material such as rubber outside. The buffer portion 28 is formed.

Further, the front outer circumference 29 of the handles 26a, 26b
The curved surface (R surface) R2 is formed to be larger than the curved surface R1 of the front outer peripheral corner on the side of the suction portion 19 of the case cover 16 and / or the lower body 11 (large R, large radius), that is, R1 <R2 The curved surface R2 of the front surface outer periphery 29 is set to have an obtuse angle.

The height dimension a of the main body 13 (the sum of the height of the main body 13 and the height of the wheels provided on the main body 13 as shown in FIG. 1) a is set smaller than the width dimension b of the main body 13 ( a <b).

Next, the lifted state of the electric vacuum cleaner having the above-mentioned structure by the handle will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the right handle 26 is held by the left hand.
When the main body 13 is lifted by holding a, the upper surface of the main body 13 (the surface on which the case cover 16 is provided) can be held inward, and as shown in FIG. 5, the right hand holds the left handle 26b to lift the main body 13. When lifted, the upper surface of the main body 13 can be held inward.

Therefore, in any case, even if the handle is lifted with either the right or left hand, the main body 13 can always be held with the upper surface facing inward, and the wheel of the main body 13 or the bottom surface of the main body 13 can be held. Does not come into contact with the human body (clothes), and it is possible to reliably prevent the clothes from being soiled.

Further, the distance (dimension) between the human body and the right hand or the left hand holding the grips 26a, 26b is half (a / 2) of the height of the main body 13, and the height dimensions a to It is smaller than half the width dimension (b / 2) of the main body 13 and can be easily held.

When the vacuum cleaner is traveling forward, the case cover 16 of the main body 13 and / or the suction portion 19 side of the lower part 11 of the main body is provided with the curved surface R2 of the front outer circumference 29 of the handles 26a, 26b. / Or the curved surface R of the front outer peripheral corner on the suction portion 19 side of the lower body 11
Since it is formed on a curved surface larger than 1, the contact is soft even when it comes into contact with an obstacle, preventing the travel from being hindered and allowing smooth travel, and also preventing damage to the main body 13. It is possible to prevent the damage.

[0016]

Since the electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the wheels of the main body or the bottom surface of the main body do not come into contact with the human body (clothes) even when the main body is lifted, and the clothes are soiled. Can be reliably prevented, and it is extremely easy to carry around with a handle, and traveling on it can be performed smoothly and the main body will be damaged even if it hits an obstacle during traveling. It is possible to prevent damage without fail.
