Abstract
A mounting structure for a sound absorber in an air cleaner is used to attach a sound absorber to a case of the air cleaner. The case includes a first segment and a second segment that is coupled to the first segment and defines an internal space of the case together with the first segment. The sound absorber is disposed along an inner surface of the first segment. The first segment includes a positioning portion configured to position the sound absorber relative to the first segment by engaging with the sound absorber. The second segment includes a restricting portion configured to restrict lifting of the sound absorber from the inner surface by coming into contact with the sound absorber.
