Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner equipped with a case for storing accessory parts such as a hose, an extension pipe, and a floor nozzle.

BACKGROUND ART This type of vacuum cleaner has generally had the form shown in FIG. That is, the main body 1 of the vacuum cleaner has a carrying handle 2 projecting forward at the upper front surface, and a horizontal bumper 3 projecting in the shape of a band from approximately the center of the side surface. A storage case 4 for storing accessories such as hoses, extension pipes, floor nozzles, etc. has an upper opening 5 located below the bumper 3 of the main body 1.
It is configured such that the buckle 7, 7 is fitted into the storage case 4, and at the same time when the open end 6 hits the bumper 3, the buckles 7, 7 are engaged and coupled to the main body 1.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the vacuum cleaner having the above configuration, when the main body 1 and the storage case 4 are combined, the fitting distance between the main body 1 and the storage case 4 below the bumper 3 is larger than that of the main body 1. Since it is only about half of the height, the fitting allowance is insufficient and it tends to rattle against the storage case 4. At the same time, the portion of the storage case 4 above the open end 6 is approximately the upper half of the main body 1, so the height of the center of gravity of the main body 1 is approximately equal to the open end 6, and when placed on an inclined floor surface. The stability of these compounds was also likely to be insufficient.

Moreover, since only the handle 2 protrudes from the front surface of the main body 1, there is no sense of unity between the storage case 4 and the handle 2 portion in the combined state, which significantly impairs the external design.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a vacuum cleaner that enhances the sense of unity and connectivity between the main body and the storage case.

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is to position the bumper of the vacuum cleaner body at the same height as the handle, which is formed by protruding forward from the top of the front surface of the vacuum cleaner body. In addition, a notch is formed in a portion of the open end of the storage case that faces the handle.

Effect The effect of the above structure is that by making the handle and the bumper the same height, the fitting margin between the storage case and the vacuum cleaner body is increased, thereby increasing the stability and connectability when combined. . Furthermore, the handle can be grasped and held in the combined state, and the sense of unity between the vacuum cleaner body and the storage case can be enhanced.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings. In Figs. 1 and 2, 11 is a vacuum cleaner body that houses a fan motor, a filter device, etc., and has a dust collection chamber lid 13 with an air intake port 12 that covers the dust collection chamber so that the dust collection chamber can be opened and closed.
A wheel 15 is attached to the rear lower part of the side surface. Reference numeral 16 denotes a handle that projects forward from the upper part of the dust collection chamber lid 13 and is formed integrally with the end, and serves as a handle for opening and closing the dust collection chamber lid 13 and for transporting the cleaner body 11.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a bumper formed on the upper side of the vacuum cleaner body 11, which protrudes from the side toward the outer circumference.
The front part is integrated with the handle 16. Reference numeral 18 denotes a case having an opening 19 on the upper side, and is used to store accessory parts such as a hose, an extension pipe, and a floor nozzle. The open end 20 comes into contact with the lower surface of the bumper 17 when the cleaner main body 11 is attached through the opening 19 and connected. Also, at this time, the buckle 21 engages with the dust collection chamber cover 13 and maintains the connected state. 22 is a notch formed at the open end 20 on the lower side of the handle 16 so that the handle 16 can be held with fingers.

In the above configuration, since the bumper 7 is formed on the upper side of the cleaner body 11, the case 1
When case 8 and vacuum cleaner main body 11 are combined, case 1
The fit between the vacuum cleaner main body 11 and the case 18 that enters the interior of the vacuum cleaner body 11 and the case 18 does not become large and rattling. At the same time, since the center of gravity of the vacuum cleaner main body 11 is located below the opening end 20, stability during coupling is also improved.

Furthermore, since the bumper 17 is integrated with the handle 16, the front surface of the case 18 can be integrated with the handle 16, and the external design can be significantly improved. For this reason, when carrying the vacuum cleaner main body 11 and the case 18 together by the handle 14 or the handle 6, the dust collection chamber cover 1 on the front side of the vacuum cleaner main body 11
3 is protected by the case 18 and will not be damaged. Of course, since the notch 22 is formed, the handle 16 can be grasped and held even when connected.

Effects of the invention As explained above, there is a handle on the upper front of the main body.
A bumper is provided on the side surface that is almost horizontal and protrudes toward the outer circumference from the handle, and a notch is provided in the front part of the case that has an opening at the top that connects the main body, so that the case and main body can be easily connected. This makes it possible to further stabilize the bonding state of the case and the main body, thereby improving the external design.
