<p>A source of suction for a vacuum cleaner comprises an electric motor 42 in driving connection with an airflow-creating fan 44, the motor 42 and fan 44 being disposed within a housing part 50, wherein the motor 42 is supported in the housing part 50 by a flexible mounting means (82, fig 7). The flexible mounting means (82, fig 7) are preferably support elements made of rubber which are equally spaced circumferentially about the motor 42. The support element (82, fig 7) preferably has shape that engages with complementary formations (86, fig 7) associated with the housing part 50 and the motor 42. The housing part 50 may comprise an inner housing disposed within an outer housing part 52, with the inner housing 50 being flexibly mounted with respect to the outer housing 50. Further parts of the cleaner may include a covering of sound proofing material.</p> |
