Combination dust container and latching means for a vacuum cleaner

摘要

A vacuum cleaner housing having a latching means for engagement with a portion of a disposable dust container when the latter is positioned within the vacuum cleaner so that the dust container is correctly latched. The correct latching indicates to the user that a dust container is present within the vacuum cleaner. The present arrangement is particularly suitable for tank-type cleaners in which the housing is opened and closed each time the full disposable dust container is removed.
