Abstract
A vacuum cleaner having a cyclone chamber comprising a cyclone air inlet, a cyclone air outlet, a cyclone axis of rotation, an axially extending cyclone chamber sidewall extending between first and second axially opposed ends. The cyclone chamber sidewall has a first sidewall portion that is axially moveably mounted with respect to a second sidewall portion of the cyclone chamber sidewall between a closed position in which the cyclone chamber is closed and an open position in which the cyclone chamber is opened.
Claims20
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- (a) an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet;
- (b) a cyclone chamber comprising a cyclone air inlet, a cyclone air outlet, a cyclone axis of rotation, an axially extending cyclone chamber sidewall extending between first and second axially opposed ends;
- and,
- (c) a suction motor provided in the air flow path,
- wherein the cyclone chamber sidewall has a first sidewall portion that is axially moveably mounted with respect to a second sidewall portion of the cyclone chamber sidewall between a closed position in which the cyclone chamber is closed and an open position in which the cyclone chamber is opened.
The vacuum cleaner of claim 13 wherein the cyclone air inlet is located at the second end.
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- (a) an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet;
- (b) an air treatment chamber comprising an air treatment chamber air inlet, an air treatment chamber air outlet, an air treatment chamber axis extending between first and second axially opposed ends and an axially extending air treatment chamber sidewall;
- and,
- (c) a suction motor provided in the air flow path,
- wherein the air treatment chamber sidewall has a first sidewall portion that is axially moveably mounted with respect to a second sidewall portion of the air treatment chamber sidewall between a closed position in which the air treatment chamber is closed and an open position in which the air treatment chamber is opened.
