Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and appropriately use both of a brush part and a flat plate part to be a clearance attachment by forming the brush part in one end of a base part rotatably journalled to journal parts which are formed in both side faces of a pipe end connected to the cleaner main body and forming the flat plate part in the other end of the base. SOLUTION: An attachment member 5 for cleaning a clearance between furniture is composed of a base part 7 having a journal hole 6 journalled to a journal part 4, a brush part 9 having a brush 8 implanted in one end of the base part 7, and a flat plate part 10 approximately parallel to the bottom face of an extension pipe 1. In using it, at first, an extension pipe 2 is detached from the extension pipe 1, the attachment member 5 is rotationally moved upward in relation to the extension pipe 1 so that the brush part 9 side is positioned in the extension pipe 1 end part, and dust, etc., on a shelf is cleaned by the brush 8. The attachment member 5 is rotationally moved downward so as to clean a corner part, etc., of a room. The extension pipes 1, 2 are connected to each other in such a state that the attachment member 5 is rotationally moved downward in relation to the extension pipe 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an attachment for a vacuum cleaner for cleaning gaps between rooms and furniture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when cleaning a corner of a room or a gap in furniture, a floor suction device must be removed from a connection pipe connected to a vacuum cleaner, and a clearance attachment, a brush attachment, and the like must be attached. However, there was a disadvantage that the work of replacing the attachment was troublesome.

In view of this disadvantage, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 53-66862 (A
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-335440 (A47L 9/04) and the like, an attachment having a brush is provided rotatably on a pipe portion of a vacuum cleaner.

However, when cleaning the gap between the furniture and the boundary between the wall and the floor of the room, it is necessary to remove the pipe and further attach the attachment for the gap, which is troublesome and also requires a cleaner body. In this case, a space for accommodating the gap attachment is required, and there is a disadvantage that the size is increased.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has as its object to provide an attachment for a vacuum cleaner capable of improving the workability of cleaning corners of a room or gaps between furniture. I do.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a shaft support formed on both side surfaces of a pipe tip connected to a cleaner body, and a base rotatably supported by the shaft support. A brush portion is formed at one end of the base portion with a brush, and a flat plate portion substantially parallel to one side surface of the pipe is formed at the other end of the base portion.

Further, the present invention comprises a shaft support formed on both sides of a tip end of a pipe connected to the cleaner body, and a base rotatably supported by the shaft support. Forming a brush portion with a brush at one end, and forming a flat plate portion substantially parallel to one side surface of the pipe at the other end of the base portion,
Side walls are formed on both sides of the flat portion from the base to the tip of the flat portion.

Further, the side wall is gradually inclined from the base to the tip of the flat plate.

[0009]

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

Reference numeral 1 denotes a first extension pipe detachably connected to a tip of a hose connected to a cleaner body (not shown), and 2 denotes a second extension pipe detachably connected to the first extension pipe 1.
The first and second extension pipes 1 and 2 are engaged with each other by hooks 3 provided on the upper surface of the end of the first extension pipe 1.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a shaft supporting portion formed on both side surfaces of the end of the first extension tube 1. An attachment member 5 described later is supported by the shaft supporting portion 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an attachment member rotatably attached to the shaft support 4 formed on the first extension pipe 1.
The attachment member 5 has a base 7 having a shaft support hole 6 supported by the shaft support 4, and a brush 8 at one end of the base 7.
And a flat plate portion 10 formed at the other end and substantially parallel to the lower surface of the first extension tube 1.

The first extension tube 1 is provided on both sides of the flat plate portion 10.
A side wall 11 substantially parallel to the side surface is integrally formed, and the side wall 11 is gradually inclined from the base 7 toward the tip of the flat plate portion 10.

In use, the second extension pipe 2 is detached from the first extension pipe 1, and the attachment member 5 is rotated upward with respect to the first extension pipe 1 as shown in FIG. The 9 side is located at the end of the first extension pipe 1 so that dust and the like on shelves can be cleaned with the brush 8 and the attachment member 5 is attached to the first extension pipe 1 as shown in FIG. By rotating the flat portion 10 in the lower surface direction, the flat plate portion 10 is located on the lower surface side of the end of the first extension tube 1, and it is easy to clean a corner or the like of a room.

When connecting the first and second extension pipes 1 and 2, the attachment member 5 is rotated downward with respect to the first extension pipe 1 (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4). ), The flat plate portion 10 projects from the end of the first extension pipe 1 when the attachment member 5 is rotated downward. 8 is not sandwiched between the first and second extension pipes 1 and 2,
The brush 8 is hardly damaged.

According to the above configuration, by removing the second extension pipe 2 and rotating the attachment member 5, both the brush portion 9 serving as a brush attachment and the flat plate portion 10 serving as a gap attachment can be used properly. Since there is no need to change the attachment, cleaning workability can be improved.

Further, since the side walls 11 are formed on both sides of the flat plate portion 10, it serves as a guide for suction air, dust and the like to the first extension pipe 1, so that a reduction in suction efficiency can be suppressed.

Further, by inclining the side wall 11 toward the front end of the flat plate portion 10, as shown in FIG. Can be made closer to each other, and the cleaning property can be improved.

[0019]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, by rotating the attachment attached to the tip of the pipe, it is possible to selectively use both the brush portion serving as the brush attachment and the flat plate portion serving as the gap attachment. Since there is no need to replace a plurality of attachments, cleaning workability can be improved.

Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the side walls are formed on both sides of the flat plate portion, the suction air and dust are guided to the pipe, so that a reduction in suction efficiency can be suppressed.

Further, according to the third aspect of the present invention, by inclining the side wall toward the front end of the flat plate portion, the end portion of the pipe, which is a suction opening, can be further deepened when cleaning the gap under the furniture. The opening can be made closer and the cleanability can be improved.
