A vacuum cleaner is provided that includes a cleaner body; a dust separating apparatus fixed to the cleaner body; a first dust receptacle detachably attached to the cleaner body on a bottom portion of the dust separating apparatus to collect large particle dust; a second dust receptacle detachably attached to the cleaner body on a bottom portion of the first dust receptacle to collect fine particle dust; and a locking device having a first position in which the dust separating apparatus is closely contacted to the first and second dust receptacles, and a second position in which the dust separating apparatus is spaced apart from the first and second dust receptacles at a predetermined interval. The second dust receptacle is detached from the first dust receptacle at the second position, and is detached from the cleaner body after the first dust receptacle is disengaged from the cleaner body.

Vacuum cleaner

A vacuum cleaner having a dual locking structure is provided. The vacuum cleaner includes a brush assembly, a main body connected to the brush assembly, a dust bin arranged on the main body, a fastening unit to move the dust bin to a fastened or unfastened state, and a filter casing. The dust bin includes one or more first locking holes and the main body includes one or dust bin locking members to be engaged with the first locking holes so that the dust bin, in an unfastened state, is removably retained in the main body. The filter casing includes one or more filter casing locking portions and the main body includes one or more filter casing locking members to be engaged with the filter casing locking portions so that the filter casing in the unfastened state is removably retained in the main body.

Vacuum cleaner having dual locking structure

An upright-type vacuum cleaner is provided. The upright-type vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner body comprising a motor chamber in which a suction motor is mounted, a brush assembly connected to the cleaner body, a discharge filter unit mounted on a first surface of the cleaner body, to filter out impurities from an air stream discharged from the suction motor, and a cord reel assembly mounted on a second surface of the cleaner body and having a power cord. The discharge filter unit includes a filter member mountable and demountable to and from the cleaner body by a user outside the vacuum cleaner, and at least a part of an air stream filtered by the filter member shifts a direction to pass through the cord reel assembly.

Upright-type vacuum cleaner

A vacuum cleaner for use in both an upright form and a canister form, which can mount and dismount a cleaner body to and from a suction nozzle assembly is disclosed. The vacuum cleaner includes a suction nozzle assembly to draw in dust or dirt along with air while moving along a surface to be cleaned; a cleaner body having a dust separating unit to separate and collect the dust or dirt from the air drawn in from the surface to be cleaned; a supporting unit hingedly joined to the suction nozzle assembly to support a lower part of the cleaner body to communicate with the suction nozzle assembly; and a locking unit to detachably lock the lower part of the cleaner body to the supporting unit.

Vacuum cleaner for use in both upright form and canister form

The present disclosure relates to a suction brush for a vacuum cleaner, which is connected to a suction extension pipe connected to a main body of the vacuum cleaner and draws in foreign materials using a suction force generated in the main body. The suction brush includes a bottom housing with a dust entering port; a top housing connected to the bottom housing so as to cover the bottom housing; a connector disposed between the top housing and the bottom housing, the connector connected to the suction extension pipe; and a flow rate controller disposed at the connector, the flow rate controller controlling a volume of the air entering through the dust entering port so as to control a suction force.

Suction brush for vacuum cleaner

An apparatus for adjusting a height of a suction brush for use in a vacuum cleaner includes a height adjusting knob rotatably disposed in an inserting recess formed in the suction brush, and having an inclined part formed thereon, so that a height of the suction brush from a surface to be cleaned is varied as a position of the height adjusting knob rotated, a supporting member to support the suction brush in contact with the inclined part thus to allow the suction brush to be ascended and descended by the inclined part, and a passage disposed between an inner circumferential surface of the inserting recess and an outer circumferential surface of the height adjusting knob to pass fine dirt therethrough. With the passage, the fine dirt is not tied up between the inner circumferential surface of the inserting recess and the outer circumferential surface of the height adjusting knob. Accordingly, the rotation of the height adjusting knob is not restricted or obstructed due to the fine dirt.
