Vacuum cleaner bag housing assembly

A vacuum cleaner bag housing assembly movable between an open position which provides access to a vacuum cleaner filter bag, and a closed position which encloses the vacuum cleaner filter bag, said bag housing assembly including:

• a bag housing which forms a bag cavity for receiving the vacuum cleaner filter bag;
• a bag door attached to the bag housing which encloses the bag cavity;
• and wherein at least a portion of one of the bag housing and bag door is formed of a semi-rigid flexible material which is permeable to air and sufficiently rigid to retain a molded shape, the at least one of the bag door and bag housing includes a latching arrangement for retaining the bag housing assembly in the closed position, the latching arrangement includes a pair of curved arms which extend outwardly from the bag housing to form a channel therebetween, and a tubular seal positioned within said channel, a peripheral edge of the bag door extending within said channel and being frictionally engaged by said seal to retain the bag housing assembly in the closed position.
