FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration of a rear surface portion of such an electric vacuum cleaner. As shown in the figure, the main case 21 is provided with a motor (not shown) and the like, and bearing portions 23 for rotatably holding wheels 22 for floor movement are integrally formed in a cylindrical shape on both sides of the rear portion. The hole 24 is formed through the main case 21 in and out.

In the conventional mounting structure of the wheel 22 as described above, the pawl height HI is required to be about 5 mm in order to provide the pawl 26, and the pawl 26
Rotates as the wheels 22 rotate,
It was not possible to arrange electric wires for internal wiring, which would be dangerous if it comes into contact with 26 and wears. Further, the wheel WI, the gap SI, and the wall thickness of the main case 21 cannot be thinned or narrowed due to their functions. Therefore, the size of the vacuum cleaner in the width direction has to be increased by twice the height HI of the nail, which is an obstacle to reducing the size and weight of the vacuum cleaner. Further, since the hole 24 of the cylindrical bearing portion 23 penetrates into the main case 21, exhaust air discharged from the motor flows in the direction of arrow a and passes between the hole 24 and the rotary shaft 25. It leaks to the outside. This air flow is one of the factors that increase the operating noise of the electric vacuum cleaner.
