Abstract
A car vacuum cleaner includes a handle, which is pivoted to a first end of a housing thereof at one end, and releasably engaged with a second end of the housing at an engaging protrusion at other end; the handle is formed such as to be capable of being hooked onto an upper edge of a window of a car with an air outlet of the housing facing outwardly of the car after the engaging protrusion is disengaged from the housing, and after the handle is pivoted away from the second end of the housing. Therefore, the vacuum cleaner can be hung outside a car, and in turns, hot exhaust, and small dust and particulates in the air that are so small as to pass through a filtering net of the cleaner are prevented from passing into the car again when the cleaner is used to vacuum inside of the car.
