Abstract
A vacuum cleaner (1) comprising a housing (2) in which a drawer-like compartment (8) can be removably positioned, said compartment comprising a dust chamber (7) for receiving a dust collector which can be arranged in a suction air flow path between a connecting piece (4) of a suction hose (5) or a suction tube and an intake opening (20) of a motor/ventilator unit (21). In order to improve one such vacuum cleaner (1) such that the dust collector (16) can be removed from the vacuum cleaner (1) in a simple, user-friendly manner, the motor/ventilator unit (21) is fixed in the housing and the dust collector (16) can be removed from the suction air flow path by pulling out the drawer-like compartment (8). In this way, the drawer-like compartment (8) can be removed with little expenditure of force.

1-12. (canceled)
A vacuum cleaner comprising a housing, in which a drawer-like pull-out is mounted to be withdrawable, which has a dust chamber for receiving a dust separator insertable into a flow path of suction air between a connecting stub pipe of at least one of a suction hose and a suction pipe and a suction opening of a motor/fan unit, which is fixedly arranged in the housing, wherein the dust separator is removable from the flow path of suction air by withdrawal of the drawer-like pull-out, wherein the connecting stub pipe for the at least one of the suction hose and the suction pipe is fastened to the housing and the dust separator is connectible with the stub pipe by way of the drawer-like pull-out.
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a housing;
- a stub pipe connected to the housing and forming an intake opening for receiving air into the housing;
- a dust chamber defined within the housing and being in fluid communication with the stub pipe, the housing having an access opening providing access to the dust chamber;
- a motor/fan unit disposed within the housing and generating a suction air flow through the housing, the motor/fan unit connected to a suction opening in fluid communication with the dust chamber;
- a dust separator positionable within the dust chamber in the path of the suction air flow between the stub pipe and the suction opening;
- and
- a pull-out drawer slidably supported by the housing for movement with respect to the housing and being positionable within the dust chamber through the access opening and supporting the dust separator, the pull-out drawer being movable between a closed condition, in which the dust separator is coupled to the stub pipe and positioned in the flow path of suction air and the pull-out drawer seals the dust chamber, and an open condition, in which the dust separator is uncoupled from the stub pipe and removed from the flow path of suction air and the pull-out drawer is withdrawn from the housing.

- a dust separator positionable within the dust chamber in the path of the suction air flow between the stub pipe and the motor/fan unit;
- and
- a removable retaining means retaining the dust separator and being slidably supported by the housing for movement with respect to the housing, the retaining means being movable between a closed condition, in which the dust separator is coupled to the stub pipe and positioned in the flow path of suction air, and an open condition, in which the dust separator is uncoupled from the stub pipe and removed from the flow path of suction air.
