Vacuum cleaner.

摘要

A portable stick-type vacuum cleaner includes an elongated housing (10) and a substantially triangular nozzle (40) which is selectively securable to the housing. A V-shaped suction opening (48, 50) is located on the bottom surface of the nozzle. The nozzle also has a plurality of casters (62) located on its bottom surface. An air outlet member (70) is in fluid connection with the suction opening (48, 50). The air outlet member (70) includes a sleeve (71) pivotally mounted to the nozzle and a coupling (74) for selective fluid connection with the housing (10). The coupling (74) is connected to a first fan shell section (20). A second fan shell section (22) is secured to the first fan shell section such that a fan chamber is defined between them. An air outlet tube (30) is integral with the second fan shell section. A motor (26) is mounted on the air outlet tube for driving a fan (24) positioned in the fan chamber. <IMAGE>
