A vacuum cleaner (10) with a housing (12), a source of vacuum (16,18), and an air chamber (20) located in the housing and connected to the source of vacuum. The housing includes a bottom member (26), a top member (28) and a handle (30) contacting and extending from a top surface of the top member (28). The handle (30) is separately connected (62,63,65) to the bottom member (26) such that the handle (30) is supported by both the top and bottom members. The air chamber (20) is located in the housing (12) between the top and bottom members with an inlet aperture (30) and an exhaust aperture (88) located at the exterior of the housing. The air chamber (20) is comprised of two half sections (76,78) that combine to form an inlet conduit (82), an outlet conduit (86), and an impeller chamber (84). An impeller (18) of the source of vacuum is located in the impeller chamber (84). The source of vacuum has a motor (16) with a first end connected to the impeller and a second end forming a drive shaft (17) to drive a belt (66) connected to a rotatable brush assembly (70). <IMAGE> |
