a second body protruding to a front side of the first body; and a battery accommodating space recessed downward from an upper surface of the second body to accommodate a battery detachably mounted to the cleaner, wherein a second charging port configured to charge the battery is provided in the battery accommodating space, and a cleaner guide configured to perform guiding such that terminals of the cleaner come into contact with the first charging port is provided in the second body. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A cleaner holder comprising: a charging stand body configured to support a handheld cleaner including a battery and a dust container and comprising a charging port configured to charge a battery of the handheld cleaner; a stand including: a base supported on a floor, and a support that connects the base to the charging stand body; and a dust collector configured to communicate with the dust container of the handheld cleaner based on the charging stand body supporting the handheld cleaner. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The cleaner holder of claim 1, wherein the dust collector is provided in the charging stand body. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The cleaner holder of claim 1, wherein the charging stand body comprises a cleaner support configured to support the handheld cleaner, and wherein a distance between the cleaner support and the charging port is less than a distance between the cleaner support and the floor. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The cleaner holder of claim 3, wherein the dust container has a cylindrical shape, and the cleaner support comprises a rounded surface configured to support the dust container having the cylindrical shape. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The cleaner holder of claim 3, wherein the cleaner support is configured to support the dust container of the handheld cleaner in a state in which an extension tube is connected to the handheld cleaner and extends in a vertical direction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The cleaner holder of claim 3, wherein at least a portion of the cleaner support is positioned lower than the charging port. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The cleaner holder of claim 3, wherein the charging port is positioned higher than a lower end of the dust container of the handheld cleaner based on the cleaner support supporting the handheld cleaner. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The cleaner holder of claim 3, wherein the charging stand body a first body comprising the charging port, and a second body that extends from the first body and comprises the cleaner support. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The cleaner holder of claim 3, wherein the charging stand body comprises a first surface provided with the charging port, and at least a portion of the cleaner support is parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the first surface. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The cleaner holder of claim 1, wherein the charging stand body comprises a space to receive a portion of the dust container of the handheld cleaner based on the charging stand body supporting the handheld cleaner, and wherein a distance between the portion of the dust container and the floor is less than a distance between the charging port and the floor. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The cleaner holder of claim 1, wherein the charging stand body further comprises a device configured to generate a suction force such that dust in the dust container of the handheld cleaner moves to the dust collector by the suction force. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The cleaner holder of claim 1, wherein the charging stand body further comprises: an accommodating space configured to receive an extra battery detached from the handheld cleaner; and a display unit configured to display a residual amount of the extra battery.
