Dust container for vacuum cleaner

Abstract

A dust container having a handle which self recovers and a vacuum cleaner having the same, to thereby conveniently pull the dust container from a cleaner body. The dust container includes a container body and a handle pivotably disposed at the dust container. A guide incline slidably contacts with and resiliently deforms the handle in a pivotal axis direction while the handle pivots. A fixing rib is disposed at the guide incline to restrain a pivoting angle of the handle.

1 . A dust container comprising; 
 a container body;    a handle pivotably disposed at the dust container;    a guide incline to slidably contact with and resiliently deform the handle in a pivotal axis direction while the handle pivots; and    a fixing rib disposed at the guide incline to restrain a pivoting angle of the handle.    
   
   
       2 . The dust container of  claim 1 , wherein the container body is formed of a transparent material.  
   
   
       3 . The dust container of  claim 1 , wherein the container body comprises: 
 a first container having a diameter corresponding to an inner circumference of a cleaner body which is formed in a cylindrical shape; and    a second container formed in a stepped manner with respect to the first container and having a bottom side which is less than an open upper side of the first container.    
   
   
       4 . The dust container of  claim 3 , wherein the first container includes a concave portion at the bottom side for a user to grip.  
   
   
       5 . The dust container of  claim 1 , wherein the handle includes both ends partially bent to form pivotal shafts.  
   
   
       6 . The dust container of  claim 1 , wherein the handle involves a wire member which is bent in a shape corresponding to the outer circumference of the dust container.  
   
   
       7 . A vacuum cleaner comprising: 
 a cleaner body;    a dust container removably received in the cleaner body and having an open upper side, and a suction port formed in a side in fluid connection with an extension pipe;    a handle pivotably connected to the dust container;    a guide incline to slidably contact with and resiliently deform the handle in a pivotal axis direction while the handle pivots;    a fixing rib disposed at the guide incline to restrain a pivoting angle of the handle; and    a sealing cover to cover the open upper side of the dust container.    
   
   
       8 . The vacuum cleaner of  claim 7 , wherein the cleaner body comprises; 
 a receiving portion to receive the dust container therein; and    a contaminants check window formed by penetrating an outside of the vacuum cleaner.    
   
   
       9 . The vacuum cleaner of  claim 7 , wherein the sealing cover includes one end connected to a suction motor disposed in the cleaner body, the other end connected to the opening of the dust container, and a filtering portion formed therein to filter and collect contaminants in the dust container.  
   
   
       10 . The vacuum cleaner of  claim 7 , wherein the dust container is formed of a transparent material  
   
   
       11 . The vacuum cleaner of  claim 7 , wherein the dust container comprises: 
 a first container with a diameter corresponding to an inner circumference of a cleaner body which is formed in a cylindrical shape; and    a second container formed in a stepped manner with respect to the first container and including a bottom side which is less than an open upper side of the first container.    
   
   
       12 . The vacuum cleaner of  claim 11 , wherein the first container includes a concave portion at the bottom side for a user to grip.  
   
   
       13 . The vacuum cleaner of  claim 7 , wherein the handle includes both ends that are partially bent to form pivotal shafts.  
   
   
       14 . The vacuum cleaner of  claim 7 , wherein the handle includes a wire member which is bent corresponding to the outer circumference of the dust container.  
   
   
       15 . The vacuum cleaner of  claim 7 , wherein the handle self recovers to a seated position with a covering operation of the sealing cover.
