Claims18
A vacuum cleaner comprising a dust-bag-housing made of a plurality of housing panels each of the housing panels being made of paper and having a first face, a second face, and edges, the housing panels being arrayed such that the first face of each of the plurality of housing panels is in face-wise contact with one of the first face and the second face of an adjacent one of the plurality of housing panels;
- wherein
- the housing panels define a chamber in the dust-bag housing for containing a dust bag and further comprising an overlying panel overlaid on the edges of the housing panels and secured to the housing panels to hold the housing panels together.
A user-assembly kit for assembling a vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a plurality of housing panels made of paper, each of the housing panels having two faces and edges;
- a motor housing containing a vacuum motor;
- an overlaying panel;
- wherein the plurality of housing panels is capable of being placed in face-wise contact to form a dust-bag-housing, such that the housing panels define a chamber in the dust-bag-housing for containing a dust bag;
- the dust-bag-housing is capable of being secured to the motor housing such that the vacuum motor is capable of drawing in air from within the dust-bag-housing;
- the motor housing segregates electrical parts of the vacuum cleaner from the dust-bag housing;
- and
- the overlaying panel is capable of being overlaid on the edges of the housing panels and to be secured to the outermost of the housing panels to hold the housing panels together.
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a plurality of housing panels each being a substantially planar member having a plurality of edges, the plurality of housing panels stacked in a direction to at least partially define a dust bag housing;
- a chamber formed in the dust bag housing, the chamber formed by the stacked plurality of housing panels;
- a dust bag positioned within the chamber;
- and
- an overlying panel overlaid on the edges of the housing panels and secured to the housing panels to hold the housing panels together.
