Abstract
A vacuum cleaner is described herein that uses an elongated design that provides the various vacuum components along nearly an entire length of the vacuum cleaner and in-line with one another. According to some embodiments, at least one waste receptacle, a filter structure, and a motor are each axially aligned with a longitudinal central axis of a body of the vacuum cleaner. An air suction inlet may also be arranged at a distal end of the body and axially aligned with the longitudinal central axis. In some examples, the body maintains a substantially constant diameter along its entire length.

A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a body having a longitudinal central axis and a substantially constant cross-sectional area along an entire length of the body extending from a proximal end to a distal end;
- an air suction inlet at the distal end of the body;
- a waste receptacle within the body and adjacent to the distal end of the body;
- a motor housed in the body between the waste receptacle and the proximal end of the body;
- and
- a handle coupled to the proximal end of the body,
- wherein each of the waste receptacle, the air suction inlet, and the motor are substantially axially aligned with the longitudinal central axis of the body, and wherein the handle includes a grip that intersects the longitudinal central axis of the body, and
- wherein the waste receptacle includes a first housing section and a second housing section, the first housing section designed to fit within the second housing section.
A waste receptacle configured for use on a vacuum cleaner, the waste receptacle comprising:
- a first housing section having an inlet port;
- and
- a second housing section having an exit port, wherein the first housing section is designed to fit within the second housing section and is configured to slide within the second housing section.
