A hand-held vacuum cleaner (10) including a housing (11) having mating first and second half housing elements (12, 14). The housing (11) has a handle (16) and a nozzle (20). A motor (24) is mounted within the housing (11) for driving a shaft (30). A fan (32) is mounted on the shaft (30) for rotation therewith. A selectively separable bag assembly (40) is mounted on the housing (11). A working air channel (36) is defined within the housing (11) communicating the nozzle (20) with the bag assembly (40). The bag assembly (40) includes a collar (42), a dirty air collector bag (41) attached to the collar (42), and a combination latch and handle member (46) pivotally connected to the collar (42). The housing (11) includes a wall member (58) for receiving the collar (42) of the bag assembly (40) and a detent member (48) for holding the latch and handle member (46) in a locked position when the member (46) is pivoted into engagement therewith for securing the bag assembly (40) onto the wall member (58) of the housing (11). <IMAGE> |
