Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a handle unit for a vacuum cleaner. The handle unit for the vacuum cleaner for controlling a cleaner body of the vacuum cleaner includes a handle body of the vacuum cleaner; and a supporting unit projected from one side of the handle body, the supporting unit holding an accessory brush, wherein the supporting unit and the handle body is molded in a single piece by the injection molding process.
Claims18
A handle unit for a vacuum cleaner for controlling a cleaner body of the vacuum cleaner, the handle unit comprising:
- a handle body of the vacuum cleaner;
- and
- a supporting unit projecting from one side of the handle body, the supporting unit being adapted to hold an accessory brush,
- wherein the supporting unit and the handle body are molded in a single piece by the injection molding process,
- wherein the supporting unit comprises at least two supporting projections projected from a front surface of the handle body, and
- wherein the at least two supporting projections comprises first and second supporting projections projected in a lengthwise direction of the handle unit, and a third supporting projection projected in a widthwise direction of the handle unit, the first and second supporting projections connected with two catching projections of the accessory brush, and the third supporting projection pressing the accessory brush in a direction opposite to the handle body to bring the first and second supporting projections and the two catching projections in friction contact to one another and thereby locking the accessory brush to the handle unit.

A handle unit for a vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a handle body;
- and
- a supporting unit integrally formed with and projecting from the handle body, the supporting unit having first and second supporting projections projecting in a lengthwise direction of the handle unit and a third supporting projection projecting in a widthwise direction of the handle unit,
- wherein the first and second supporting projections are configured to selectively connect with an accessory brush, and
- wherein the third supporting projection projects further from the handle body than the first and second supporting projections so that the third supporting projection can push the accessory brush in a direction opposite to the handle body to bring the first and second supporting projections and the accessory brush in friction contact to one another so as to lock the accessory brush to the handle body without a separate fixing member.

A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- an accessory brush having first and second catching projections projecting from a bottom surface parallel with and symmetrical to each other;
- a handle body;
- and
- a supporting unit integrally formed with and projecting from the handle body the supporting unit selectively securing the accessory brush to the handle body,
- the supporting unit having first and second supporting projections projecting in a lengthwise direction of the handle unit and substantially parallel with each other and a third supporting projection projecting in a widthwise direction of the handle unit,
- wherein the first and second supporting projections are configured to selectively connect with the first and second catching projections of the accessory brush, respectively, and
- wherein the third supporting projection projects further from the handle body than the first and second supporting projections so that the third supporting projection can push the accessory brush in a direction opposite to the handle body to bring the first and second supporting projections and the first and second catching projections in friction contact to one another so as to lock the accessory brush to the handle body without a separate fixing member.
