Abstract
A bag housing assembly for a vacuum cleaner includes a rear bag housing which forms a bag cavity and a bag door which releasably attaches to the rear bag housing for enclosing the bag cavity. One of the rear bag housing and bag door is formed of a semi-rigid flexible fabric material which is permeable to air and which is sufficiently rigid to retain a molded shape. The flexible fabric material is attached to a rigid frame member which allows the bag door to releasably attach to the rear bag housing.
