Benefits of technology

[0011] The present invention has been made to overcome the above-mentioned problem. Accordingly, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a hose connection apparatus of an improved vacuum cleaner in which a hose connection pipe does not have to be separated from the cleaner body in order to remove the dust receptacle, and further discloses a dry / wet vacuum cleaner having such a construction.
[0019] To prevent introduction and ingress of undesirable air flowing in to the dust collecting chamber, the hose connection apparatus according to the present invention comprises a first gasket interposed between the hose connection pipe and the air inlet, and a second gasket disposed around the communication hole of the dust receptacle.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it becomes inconvenient to use.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a dry / wet vacuum cleaner according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 2, the hose connection apparatus 100 according to the present invention comprises a hose holder 110, a hose connection pipe 120, a secondary connection pipe 130, and an operation unit 140.

[0033] The hose holder 110 is mounted in an upper part of a cleaner body 200, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. The hose holder 110 has the same curvature radius as the cleaner body 200 (FIGS. 3 and 7), and has a centrally disposed air inlet 111. On an inner circumference of the air inlet 111, a plurality of locking members 112 are disposed at predetermined intervals, each having a locking hole 112a therein. At both sides of the air inlet 111 of the hose connection apparatus 110, a pair of guide holes 113, 113′ are formed. The locking member 112 and the guide holes 113, 113′ will be described in greater det...

Abstract

A hose connection apparatus of a dry / wet vacuum cleaner comprises a hose holder mounted at an air inlet of a cleaner body, a hose connection pipe connected to the air inlet, and connected to a suction hose at an end thereof, a secondary connection pipe formed between the hose holder and an outer circumference of a dust receptacle to move between first and second positions, and an operation unit for moving the secondary connection pipe between the first and second positions. The operation unit preferably comprises a cover attached to the cleaner body at a pivoting axis, and acts to move the secondary connection pipe between first and second positions depending on the opening and closing operations of the cover. In the first position, the secondary connection pipe is moved toward the air inlet. In the second position, the secondary connection pipe is moved toward and into contact with the communication hole formed at the dust receptacle. The secondary connection pipe is moved to the second position when the cover is closed, and to the first position when the cover is open.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to a hose connection apparatus for connecting a suction hose to a cleaner body, and a wet / dry vacuum cleaner using such an apparatus. [0003] 2. Description of the Background Art [0004] As is well known, a dry / wet vacuum cleaner can clean up not only dry dirt but also moisture mixed with dirt, i.e., containing water. The dry / wet vacuum cleaner comprises a motor part for generating a suction force, a brush part for drawing in water, dust and dirt, a filter part for separating the water, dust and dirt from the drawn in air, and a storage part for storing the water, dust and dirt which are separated from the drawn in air by the filter part. [0005] A greatly improved dry / wet vacuum cleaner is disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 2002-57713 (filed on Sep. 24, 2002), which is more convenient to use since the dust, water and dirt stored in a dus...
