Abstract

In a first aspect, the present invention provides a motor, fan and filter arrangement for a vacuum cleaner, comprising: a motor ( 10 ); a fan ( 20 ) connected to an output shaft ( 12 ) of the motor and having an axial intake; and a filter ( 30, 230, 330 ); wherein the fan ( 20 ) is arranged with its axial intake facing the motor ( 10 ); and the motor ( 10 ) is housed within the filter ( 30, 230, 330 ). Such an arrangement makes much more efficient use of space than a conventional arrangement and allows the motor to be positioned within the filter in a reversed direction in comparison to conventional arrangements, so that clear air from the filter can be drawn over the motor before encountering the fan. This also has the beneficial side-effect of cooling the motor with the filtered air. In a second aspect, the present invention also provides vacuum cleaners ( 100, 200, 300 ) comprising such a motor, fan and filter arrangement. Preferred embodiments of such vacuum cleaners are described, including a pivotable stick vac and different hand-holdable vacuum cleaners.
