A vacuum cleaner is provided with a subassembly including an electric motor, a fan driven by the motor and a housing which supports the fan and motor. This assembly is supported on the upper surface of the lid of the dirt collecting drum, with the fan housing being clamped between a motor housing and the lid. First and second thin ring-shaped gaskets mounted in face-to-face relationship are cemented to the fan housing and lid, respectively. A lightly compressed third relatively thick ring-shaped gasket is interposed between the motor housing and fan housing. This three gasket combination serves to effectively isolate the lid and motor housing, as well as other elements of the vacuum cleaner from motor and fan vibrations. |
