A vacuum cleaner includes a main body portion, a secondary battery, an electric blower, a handle and a conductive member. The secondary battery is disposed in the main body portion. The electric blower operates by electric power supply from the secondary battery. The handle is one which a user contacts when the vacuum cleaner is used. At least a part of the conductive member is disposed at the handle and conducts static electricity generated due to operation of the electric blower.

Electrical equipment using battery as power supply and vacuum cleaner

A vacuum cleaner includes a primary dust container that includes a container body, the container body delineating a dust collecting chamber that accumulates dust sucked into the vacuum cleaner and including a waste outlet that discharges the dust accumulated in the dust collecting chamber, the primary dust container also including a waste-outlet lid that opens and closes the waste outlet. A station includes a secondary dust container that accumulates the dust discharged from the primary dust container, and a driving source that generates opening driving force and closing driving force for the waste outlet. The electric vacuum cleaner generates a driving force for opening and closing an air passage connecting a primary dust container and a secondary dust container, without impairing convenience of a vacuum cleaner.

Electric vacuum cleaner device

A vacuum cleaner is provided with a cleaner main body having an electric blower and a handle. The handle is shaped such that a gravity center position of the cleaner main body remains substantially unchanged in a state in which any one region is gripped.

A polarizable electrode ( ) includes an activated carbon/carbon composite consisting essentially of an activated carbon component and a carbon component. The activated carbon component includes activated carbon powder or fiber. The carbon component is produced by carbonizing a thermosetting resin. The composite has a density within a range between 0.70 and 0.85 g/cm , both inclusive, and a thickness within another range between 0.7 and 3.0 cm, both inclusive.
