<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cyclonic separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner which is compact and has high efficiency. <P>SOLUTION: A cyclonic separating apparatus (1) for a cleaning appliance such as the vacuum cleaner (33), has a longitudinal axis (16), an upstream cyclonic separator (2) and a downstream cyclone assembly (8). The downstream cyclone assembly comprises a plurality of cyclones (9a, 9b) arranged in parallel with one another. The downstream cyclones respectively include first and second sets (14, 15) having longitudinal axes (10a, 10b) inclined at first and second angles (α,β) to the longitudinal axis (16) of the cyclonic separating apparatus. The second angle (β) is greater than the first angle (α). According to this invention, the downstream cyclone assembly is compactly packaged. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
