Wheel-type vacuum cleaner.

摘要

A wheeled vacuum cleaner (10) is provided with an extension (33) projecting upward from a base (13) on which an electric motor powered suction producing device (20) and a floor engaging nozzle (14) are mounted. A handle unit (34) mounted on the upper end of the extension (33) is provided with an anchor that constitutes a strain relief (44) about which a line cord (40) for energizing the motor (11) is looped. A hand operated safety trigger device (51) controls energization of the motor (11). Pivotally connected to the base (13) is a stand (90) that is movable between a storage position and an active floor engaging position wherein the vacuum cleaner (10) is supported by the stand (90). The stand (90) is mounted and proportioned so as to be gravity operated automatically to the storage position where it is held by a releasable spring catch (95) while the vacuum cleaner is being used.
