Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve space-saving in storing the main body, keep furniture or the like from being damaged even in the case of cleaning in a narrow place, and improve usability. SOLUTION: This vacuum cleaner comprises a motor-driven blower, a main body 6 having a built-in dust collecting chamber, a sucker 7 for sucking dust on the floor surface, a hose 8 with a grip, which is connected to the main body 6 to carry dust sucked by the sucker 7 to the interior of the dust collecting chamber, and an extension pipe 9 connecting the sucker 7 to the hose 8, wherein a storing part capable of storing the sucker 7 when the main body 6 is erected substantially vertically is provided in the rear of the main body 6. Thus, the sucker 7 can be stored in the main body without projection so as to achieve space-saving.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner used in ordinary households, and more particularly to space saving when stored.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional vacuum cleaner will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body having a built-in electric blower and a dust collecting chamber, 2 denotes a suction device for sucking dust on the floor surface, and 3 denotes a suction device which has a handle and is connected to the main body 1. A hose 4 for conveying the dust sucked into the dust collection chamber, an extension pipe 4 for connecting the suction tool 2 and the hose 3, and an extension pipe 4 attached to the extension pipe 4. It is a hook for fixing, as shown in FIG.
Used when the main body 1 is stored upright.

[0004]

In the conventional vacuum cleaner, when the main body 1 is set up and stored as shown in FIG. 6, a space at least equal to the height of the main body 1 (in FIG. 6). Not only the A dimension of FIG. 6) but also a space (the B space in FIG. 6) in which the suction tool 2 protrudes, which requires a considerable storage space.

[0005] Further, when cleaning a narrow place, the main body 1 connected to the hose 3 meanders backward, so that there is a problem that the furniture 1 comes into contact with and damages the furniture.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner which can save space particularly when stored.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a main body provided with a storage portion at a rear portion of the main body, the storage portion being capable of storing a suction tool when the main body is set up in a substantially vertical direction. By setting the extension tube upright by storing the suction tool in the storage section, the suction tool can be stored without protruding from the main body, and space can be saved during storage.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An electric blower, a main body with a built-in dust collection chamber, a suction device for sucking dust on the floor, a hose connected to the main body having a handle, and for transporting the dust sucked by the suction device to the inside of the dust collection chamber. By having an extension tube for connecting the suction tool and the hose, and providing a storage portion at the rear of the main body, which can store the suction tool when the main body is set up in a substantially vertical direction,
When the main body is stored, the suction tool does not protrude from the main body.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the main body or the extension pipe is provided with a hook for holding the main body to the extension pipe so that the main body or the extension pipe can be cleaned with the main body fixed to the extension pipe. It is.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

1 to 5, reference numeral 6 denotes an electric blower and a main body containing a dust collecting chamber, 7 denotes a suction device for sucking dust on the floor surface, 8 denotes a handle connected to the main body 6,
A hose for carrying the dust sucked by the suction tool 7 into the dust collection chamber, an extension pipe 9 for connecting the suction tool 7 and the hose 8, and a hose 10 attached to the main body 6 or the extension pipe 9 are shown in FIG. 4 is a hook for fixing the extension tube 9 to the main body 6 so as to sandwich the extension tube 9 and to be inserted into the main body 6, as shown in FIG. Sometimes used. Reference numeral 11 denotes a concave storage portion that can store the suction tool 7 when the main body 6 is set up in a substantially vertical direction, and is provided at a rear portion of the main body 6.

The operation of the above configuration is as follows.
By standing the main body 6 and storing the suction tool 7 in the storage section 11 and setting the extension pipe 9, the suction tool 7 can be stored without protruding from the main body 6 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Further, the hook 1 is attached to the main body 6 or the extension pipe 9.
0 so that the main body 6 can be fixed to the extension pipe 9 as shown in FIG.
Can be cleaned while being fixed to the extension tube 9.

[0014]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
By standing the main body and storing the suction tool in the storage section and setting the extension tube, the suction tool can be stored without protruding from the main body, so that space saving during storage can be achieved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a hook is provided on the main body or the extension pipe so that the main body or the extension pipe can be cleaned with the main body fixed to the extension pipe. As described above, it is possible to provide a vacuum cleaner having improved usability by preventing a problem that the main body connected to the hose does not meander behind and contacts furniture or the like and damages the furniture or the like and improves usability.
