VACUUM CLEANER AND DEVICE HAVING ION GENERATOR

摘要

When the electrically driven fan 14 of a vacuum cleaner is driven, air containing dust is drawn into the cleaner main body 1 through a hose 7 connected to a hose socket 8 and is exhausted into the outside of the cleaner main body 1 through an exhaust port 1b via first and second suction passageways 10, 13. Disposed outside the first suction passageway 10 is an ion generator 23, it being arranged that plus and minus ions generated in the ion generator 23 are fed to the air stream flowing in the first suction passageway 10. Since the plus and minus ions kill floating germs in the air stream, the exhaust can be purified.
