 吸込室25(図4)は、接続パイプ24と連通するように設けられている。接続パイプ24は、掃除機の連結パイプ13や、延長管15と接続する。 The suction chamber 25 (FIG. 4) is provided so as to communicate with the connection pipe 24. The connection pipe 24 is connected to the connection pipe 13 of the vacuum cleaner and the extension pipe 15.
 図5に示すように、タービン26は、吸込具本体21の後方に設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 5, the turbine 26 is provided behind the suction tool main body 21.
 回転ブラシ27は、吸込室25内に設置されており、タービン26と連動して回転自在に回転するように設けられている。回転ブラシ27の外周には、ブラシ毛28が設けられている。ブラシ毛28は、回転ブラシ27の外周に螺旋状に植毛されている。 The rotating brush 27 is installed in the suction chamber 25 and is provided so as to rotate freely in conjunction with the turbine 26. Brush hairs 28 are provided on the outer periphery of the rotating brush 27. The brush hairs 28 are spirally implanted on the outer periphery of the rotating brush 27.
 図6に示すように、突出部29は、補助吸込口体30の前方下部に設けられている。突出部29の形状は、後方から前方に向けて高さ方向の幅が小さくなるように形成されている。突出部29の形状は、舌状つまり、後方から前方に向けて先細りの形状である。 As shown in FIG. 6, the protruding portion 29 is provided at the lower front portion of the auxiliary suction port body 30. The shape of the protrusion 29 is formed such that the width in the height direction decreases from the rear to the front. The protrusion 29 has a tongue shape, that is, a shape that tapers from the rear to the front.
 補助吸込口体30は、図6に示すように、吸込具本体21の外郭に設けられている。補助吸込口体30は、吸込具本体21の前方に設けられている。 The auxiliary suction port body 30 is provided on the outer shell of the suction tool body 21 as shown in FIG. The auxiliary suction port body 30 is provided in front of the suction tool main body 21.
 隙間31は、補助吸込口体30の突出部29の底面部48と、被清掃面との間の部分である。被清掃面は、水平かつ平坦な床などの、電気掃除機を用いて清掃を行う面である。 The gap 31 is a portion between the bottom surface portion 48 of the protruding portion 29 of the auxiliary suction port body 30 and the surface to be cleaned. The surface to be cleaned is a surface that is cleaned using a vacuum cleaner, such as a horizontal and flat floor.
 図6に示すように、底面部48は、隙間31が、突出部29の後方から前方に向けて広くなる部分を有するよう設けられている。傾斜部32は、突出部29の底面部48に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the bottom surface portion 48 is provided so that the gap 31 has a portion that widens from the rear to the front of the protruding portion 29. The inclined portion 32 is formed on the bottom surface portion 48 of the protruding portion 29.
 傾斜角度33は、傾斜部32と、被清掃面とにより成す角度を示す。傾斜角度33は、5度から50度の範囲に設定されている。 The inclination angle 33 indicates an angle formed by the inclined portion 32 and the surface to be cleaned. The inclination angle 33 is set in the range of 5 degrees to 50 degrees.
 このように構成された電気掃除機用吸込具20の突出部29は、図9に示すように、ソファ47等の座部47aと、背もたれ部47bとの間の隙間に挿入される。 The protruding portion 29 of the vacuum cleaner suction tool 20 configured as described above is inserted into a gap between the seat 47a such as the sofa 47 and the backrest 47b as shown in FIG.
 このように、突出部29が隙間31を有するように備えられていることにより、座部47aと背もたれ部47bとの間に入り込んだ塵埃へ、集塵気流が到達しやすくなる。集塵気流により、塵埃には集塵作用が発生する。これにより、塵埃を効率よく集塵することができる。 Thus, by providing the protruding portion 29 so as to have the gap 31, the dust collection airflow easily reaches the dust that has entered between the seat portion 47a and the backrest portion 47b. A dust collecting action is generated in the dust due to the dust collecting airflow. Thereby, dust can be collected efficiently.
 さらに、本実施の形態における電気掃除機用吸込具20の底面部48は、図6に示すように、突出部29の被清掃面と垂直方向の幅が、突出部29の後方から前方にかけて小さくなるよう形成された部分を有している。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the bottom surface portion 48 of the vacuum cleaner suction tool 20 in the present embodiment has a width in the direction perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned of the protrusion 29 that decreases from the rear to the front of the protrusion 29. It has the part formed so that it may become.
 ここで、突出部29の被清掃面と垂直方向の幅とは、側面から見たときの突出部29の高さ方向の厚みの幅を示す。突出部29の先端部の厚みの幅は、接続パイプ24側の幅よりも薄くなる部分を有するように構成している。 Here, the width in the direction perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned of the protruding portion 29 indicates the width of the thickness in the height direction of the protruding portion 29 when viewed from the side. The width of the thickness of the tip portion of the protruding portion 29 is configured to have a portion that is thinner than the width on the connection pipe 24 side.
 このような構成により、図9に示すように、突出部29は、ソファ47等の座部47aと、背もたれ部47bとの間の隙間に挿入し易くなる。これは、突出部29の先端部の厚みの幅は、突出部29の進行方向において吸気口41(図4)が設けられている側における厚みの幅よりも小さいためである。 With this configuration, as shown in FIG. 9, the protruding portion 29 can be easily inserted into the gap between the seat 47a such as the sofa 47 and the backrest 47b. This is because the width of the thickness of the tip of the protrusion 29 is smaller than the width of the thickness on the side where the air inlet 41 (FIG. 4) is provided in the traveling direction of the protrusion 29.
 さらに、突出部29を奥に挿入するにつれ、ソファ47等の座部47aと、背もたれ部47bとの隙間が広がる。これにより、奥に堆積した塵埃をさらに集塵しやすくすることができる。 Furthermore, as the protrusion 29 is inserted into the back, the gap between the seat 47a such as the sofa 47 and the backrest 47b increases. Thereby, it is possible to further easily collect dust accumulated in the back.
 また、本実施の形態における電気掃除機用吸込具20の突出部29の底面部48は、底面部48と被清掃面との隙間の被清掃面と垂直方向の高さが、突出部29の後方から前方に向けて大きくなるよう形成された部分を有するよう形成されていればよい。 In addition, the bottom surface 48 of the protrusion 29 of the vacuum cleaner suction tool 20 according to the present embodiment has a height in the direction perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned of the gap between the bottom surface 48 and the surface to be cleaned. What is necessary is just to form so that it may have a part formed so that it may become large toward back from the back.
 このように構成することにより、突出部29を、ソファ47等の座部47aと、背もたれ部47bとの間に押し込むことができる。これにより、座部47aと背もたれ部47bとの間の隙間を上方に広げることができる。このため、突出部29の底面部48には、さらに隙間が生じやすくなる。 With this configuration, the protruding portion 29 can be pushed between the seat 47a such as the sofa 47 and the backrest 47b. Thereby, the clearance gap between the seat part 47a and the backrest part 47b can be expanded upwards. For this reason, a gap is more likely to occur in the bottom surface portion 48 of the protruding portion 29.
 この隙間により、集塵気流が塵埃まで届き易くなる。これにより、塵埃をさらに効率よく集塵することができる。 This gap makes it easier for the dust collection airflow to reach the dust. Thereby, dust can be collected more efficiently.
 図6に示すように、突出部29の底面部48には、傾斜部32が設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 6, an inclined portion 32 is provided on the bottom surface portion 48 of the protruding portion 29.
 隙間31の高さは、突出部29の底面部48と被清掃面との間の被清掃面と垂直方向の高さを示している。つまり、隙間31の高さは、突出部29の一部と、被清掃面との被清掃面と垂直方向の距離を示す。隙間31は、突出部29の後方から前方に向けて大きくなるように設けられている。 The height of the gap 31 indicates the height in the direction perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned between the bottom surface 48 of the protrusion 29 and the surface to be cleaned. That is, the height of the gap 31 indicates a distance in a direction perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned between a part of the protruding portion 29 and the surface to be cleaned. The gap 31 is provided so as to increase from the rear to the front of the protruding portion 29.
 このように構成された突出部29は、使用する際には、ソファ47等の座部47aと、背もたれ部47bとの間に挿入される。これによれば、突出部29の底面部48と、ソファ47表面との空間を確実に確保することができる。このため、塵埃を効率よく集塵することができる。 The protrusion 29 configured in this manner is inserted between the seat 47a such as the sofa 47 and the backrest 47b when used. According to this, the space between the bottom surface portion 48 of the projecting portion 29 and the surface of the sofa 47 can be reliably ensured. For this reason, dust can be collected efficiently.
 これにより、座部47aと、背もたれ部47bとの間に、突出部29を挿入する作業性が、損なわれにくくなる。 Thus, the workability of inserting the protruding portion 29 between the seat portion 47a and the backrest portion 47b is not easily impaired.
 さらに、突出部29の後方から前方に向けて大きくなるよう形成された部分は、突出部29の底面部48は、後方から前方に向けて被清掃面に対し、上方に反り返る傾斜面を有するように設けてもよい。 Furthermore, the part formed so that it may become large toward the front from the back of the protrusion part 29 seems to have the inclined surface where the bottom face part 48 of the protrusion part 29 curves upwards with respect to a to-be-cleaned surface toward the front from back.
