Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner in which a connecting pipe connecting a vacuum cleaner body and a hose is rotatable with respect to the vacuum cleaner body.

This shows the configuration of the conventional example and its problems. Specifically, the vacuum cleaner body 1 is rotatably provided with a connecting pipe 3 that communicates with the hose 2 in an airtight manner, and when the hose 2 is stored after cleaning is completed. , the connecting pipe 3 was rotated so that the hose 2 was wrapped around the island-like protrusion 4 formed at the center of the upper surface of the vacuum cleaner main body 1, and the hose 2 was further wrapped twice between it and the guide plate 6. Thereafter, the tip tube 7 was inserted into the tip tube storage section 6 formed in the cleaner body 1. With this conventional configuration, when trying to wrap the hose 2 around the vacuum cleaner main body 1, the hose 2 is wound sequentially starting from the connecting pipe 3, and finally the tip tube 7 is wrapped in the tip tube storage section 6. There was a drawback that the hose 2 had to be inserted into the housing, and the hose 2 could not be stored unless it was stored in a precise order. In addition, since the long hose 2 is wound from the connecting pipe 3, it is troublesome to handle and is less convenient.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method, and has a connection tube rotatably provided on the vacuum cleaner body. The purpose is to attach and store it.

Composition of the Invention The present invention has a vacuum cleaner body having a substantially frustum shape, and is provided with a connection pipe which is rotatable with the vacuum cleaner main body at the center of the upper surface, and a flexible hose is connected to the connection pipe. A tip tube is provided at the tip, and after the tip tube is stored in a tip tube housing formed on the outer surface of the vacuum cleaner body, the connecting tube portion is rotated to wrap the hose around the outer surface of the vacuum cleaner body. This example shows how the hose can be easily stored by simply rotating the connecting pipe.

Description of examples Examples thereof will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figures 2 to 7 show examples of implementation in floor moving vacuum cleaners, and 11
A bumper 13 made of a soft material is held between a lower part 14 of the main body and a bumper 13 formed of a soft material on a substantially truncated conical main body containing an electric blower 12. Reference numeral 16 denotes a dust collection box that is detachably attached to the dust collection box storage section 16 on the main body 11, and has an open end and is equipped with a filter device 17 that can be attached and detached. A small dust box 20 is also provided. Reference numeral 21 denotes an intake port gasket which rotatably and slidably maintains airtightness with the connecting pipe 18, and is attached to the mounting plate 22 so as to maintain airtightness with the dust collection box 15.

Reference numeral 23 designates a connecting tube cover, in which an elbow-shaped connecting tube 18 is fixedly provided at approximately the center with a screw 24, and is rotatably fitted into an approximately circular fitting hole 24 formed on the main body 11. The locking pawl 26 is locked to the upper body 1'1 to prevent removal. The connecting tube cover 23 is provided with a hose hole 27 through which a hose 26 connected to one end of the connecting tube 18 is passed, and a handle storage portion 28 is formed on the outer surface opposite to the hose hole 27 to accommodate a handle 29. By storing the handle 29id and rotatably fitting the handle shaft 30 into the shaft hole 31, the vacuum cleaner can be stored upside down relative to the connecting pipe cover 23, and by lifting the handle 29, the entire vacuum cleaner can be moved. I can do it. The hose 26 is made of a flexible soft material, and is equipped with a tip tube 32 at its distal end. After inserting the tip tube 32 into the tip tube storage section 33, the connecting tube cover 2
By rotating the hose 3, the hose 26 can be wrapped around the outer surface of the substantially truncated conical main body 11 and stored. 34 is a free wheel attached to the lower surface of the lower body 14;
A wheel cover 36 rotatably attached to the lower body 140 axle 35, and a wheel 37 rotatably provided on the wheel cover 36.
The flexible wheels 34 are equipped with three or more.

Reference numeral 38 denotes a storage box with an opening on the top surface which is detachably attached below the vacuum cleaner body, and can be freely engaged with the vacuum cleaner body by means of a buckle 39. It is a fitting boss formed upwardly on the bottom surface 41 of the 4Qid storage box 38, and is a fitting boss formed on the bottom surface 41 of the 4Qid storage box 38.
The extension tube 42 is held in an upright position by fitting into the inner diameter portion of the extension tube 42. Reference numeral 43 designates an extension tube fitting hole recessed in the lower surface 44 of the lower main body 14, which is formed by utilizing a space inside the vacuum cleaner main body.When the vacuum cleaner main body is joined to the storage box 38,
It is formed so that one end of an upright extension tube 42 can be inserted therein. 46 is a floor nozzle stored in the storage box 39.

In the above configuration, when storing the bowse 26 after the cleaning operation is completed, insert the tip tube 32 into the tip tube storage section 33 and then rotate the connecting tube cover 23.
wrapped around the outer surface of the

Further, since the hose 26 is flexible, if the rotating cover 23 is rotated to a certain extent, it can be wrapped around the surface of the main body 11. Furthermore, when using a vacuum cleaner,
By simply holding the tip tube 32 and removing it from the tip tube storage section 33, the connecting tube cover 23 rotates, the winding of the hose 26 is released, and the hose is ready for immediate use.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a connecting pipe for connecting a hose is rotatably provided at approximately the center of the upper surface of a vacuum cleaner body having a substantially truncated cone shape, and the hose is wound around the outer surface of the vacuum cleaner body. Therefore, the hose can be stored and taken out extremely easily, and a vacuum cleaner with excellent usability can be provided.
