Handheld vacuum device

A handheld vacuum device for vacuuming and cleaning away rubbish on a floor surface, comprising:

• a blower configured to suck air;
• an air intake duct formed into a tube shape extending in a given direction with an open edge thereof facing the floor surface, and configured to allow the blower to suck air therethrough, thereby capturing rubbish on the floor surface, from the open edge;
• at least one wheel supporting the air intake duct in contact with the floor surface, the wheel being configured to be rotated in a first direction in conjunction with a forward movement of the air intake duct and to be rotated in a second direction which is a direction opposite to the first direction, in conjunction with a backward movement of the air intake duct;
• a cleaning body provided on a rearward side of the open edge of the air intake duct, and configured to be rotated so as to sweep rubbish on the floor surface;
• and
• a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the cleaning body based on a rotation of the wheel, wherein the rotation mechanism is configured to rotate the cleaning body in the second direction when the wheel is rotated in the first direction.
