Filter arrangement in a vacuum cleaner

摘要

The invention relates to a filter arrangement in a vacuum cleaner, in which a paper dust bag is placed in a cartridge (1) which is provided with a further filter, can be removed from the dust compartment of the vacuum cleaner, is open at the top and can be closed by the lid of the dust compartment. In order to facilitate removal of the paper dust bag and cleaning of the cartridge without impairing the suction capacity of the vacuum cleaner, provision is made for the cartridge (1) to be constructed as a dimensionally stable box with grid walls (2) and for the grid walls (2) to be covered with nonwoven material (4). Additionally, the cartridge (1) is held with spacing from the walls of the dust compartment by support ribs (5) provided on the grid walls (2) or on the vacuum cleaner housing. <IMAGE>
