伸長状態への操作が面倒である欠点があった。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an upright type vacuum cleaner has a problem that it cannot be stored in a closet because the handle is long and tall, and in order to solve the problem, the handle is formed to be bendable and stored. An electric vacuum cleaner in which the handle is bent so that the height of the electric vacuum cleaner can be stored in a closet has been proposed in JP-A-57-9430 (A47L 9/32). In this conventional technology, the joint that is the bent portion of the handle is stored in the handle, and the coupling provided on the handle side is screwed into the cleaner body to hold the handle in the extended state,
When the handle is bent, the coupling is removed from the cleaner body, the handle is slid to pull out the joint from the handle, and the handle is bent at the joint. However, there is a drawback that the operation of the handle in the bent state and the extended state is troublesome.

することが考えられる。Therefore, a pivotal support is formed in the cleaner body and the handle, and the handle supports the handle in a bent state with respect to the cleaner body at the pivotal support, and is disengaged from the other pivotal support near one pivotal support. A locking body that is freely engaged is disposed, and the locking body is biased to the other pivotal support portion by a biasing means such as a spring to hold the handle in an extended state with respect to the cleaner body. It is possible.

た。The above-mentioned locking body is only required to hold at least the extended state of the handle. However,
Most of the electric vacuum cleaners are in the stored state, that is, the handle is bent and the urging means continues to be in a contracted state for a long period of time. However, in this configuration, the urging force of the urging means is long-term use. May decrease, and the handle may not be securely held in the extended state with respect to the cleaner body.

Therefore, the handle can be reliably held in the extended state with respect to the cleaner body for a long period of time. Further, since the locking body is inserted into the recess in the non-locking state, the handle can be extended only by rotating the handle without operating the locking body, and the extension operability of the handle is improved. In addition, since the handle can be held in the bent state in the cleaner body, the handle does not rotate carelessly when carrying the cleaner body, and the workability can be improved. .
