A vacuum cleaner includes an electric blower for generating a suction air flow, a suction head in communication with the electric blower for drawing in dirt, a filter bag communication with the electric blower for capturing and collecting dirt, an exhaust unit for discharging exhaust air from the electric blower to atmosphere, and an ion generator for generating negative ions and/or positive ions. The ion generator is placed between the suction head and the filter bag.

A suction nozzle for use in a vacuum cleaner includes a floor nozzle and a mini nozzle having a suction head, a rotatable joint, and joint, to be detachably secured in the floor nozzle. Either of the suction head and the rotatable joint or the rotatable joint and the joint is vertically joined and the other rotatably joined. Moreover, the suction head is unrotatably secured onto the floor nozzle, and forms an air communication with the floor nozzle.

Vacuum cleaner and suction nozzle employed therein

An electric cleaner provided with a main body comprised of a cleaner housing ( ) equipped with wheels ( ) for mobility on a floor surface. Both side surfaces of the main body extend outwardly beyond rim portions ( ) of the respective wheels ( ) that stay in contact with the floor surface, and a center of gravity G ( ) of the main body is placed in such a position that the main body rolls toward a direction where the wheels ( ) stand on the floor surface so as to return itself into an original posture when the main body tilts in a way that one of the side surfaces lies in contact to the floor.
