<p>A latch mechanism (158) for a dirt cup of a vacuum cleaner (10). The latch mechanism (158) can include a first sloped portion (130) provided on a mounting structure (116) for receiving a dirt cup (22) and a filter housing (86) in supporting relationship to the vacuum cleaner (10) and a second sloped portion (132) on the filter housing (86) corresponding to the first sloped portion (130). Movement of the filter housing (86) in a first direction relative to the mounting structure (116) as the first and second sloped portions (130,132) bear against each other results in the movement of the filter housing (86), and thus the dirt cup (22), in a second direction transverse to the first direction relative to the mounting structure (116).</p> |
