Handtag för en dammsugare

摘要

This invention relates to a vacuum cleaner comprising a vacuum cleaner housing (10) and a handle (12) with a grip portion. The handle is pivotably secured to the vacuum cleaner housing (10) in such a manner that the handle is pivotable about a turning axis (A) that is substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the direction of movement of the vacuum cleaner when the vacuum cleaner is in a working position on a horizontal surface. The vacuum cleaner is provided with means for maintaining the handle in a generally vertical position when the vacuum cleaner is in the working position, and for allowing the vacuum cleaner housing to pivot to a substantially vertical position when an operator lifts the vacuum cleaner housing from the working position by grasping the grip portion with a hand (H) and lifting. The position of said grip portion relative to the operator's hand remaining substantially unchanged during the lifting of the vacuum cleaner housing
