Hose adapter and vacuum cleaner having the same

Abstract

A hose adapter and a vacuum cleaner including the same are disclosed. The hose adapter includes a connection pipe inserted into a body of the vacuum cleaner, a receiving part disposed on an outer surface of the connection pipe, a clamp member integrally formed with the receiving part and resiliently fitted into the body of the vacuum cleaner to secure the connection pipe, and a resilient member disposed inside the receiving part to support the clamp member.

1 . A hose adapter comprising:
 a connection pipe inserted into a body of a device;   a receiving part disposed on an outer surface of the connection pipe;   a clamp member integrally formed with the receiving part and resiliently fitted into the body of the device to secure the connection pipe; and   a resilient member disposed inside the receiving part to support the clamp member.   
   
   
       2 . The hose adapter according to  claim 1 , wherein the resilient member is coupled to a fitting protrusion formed on the connection pipe inside the receiving part. 
   
   
       3 . The hose adapter according to  claim 1 , wherein the resilient member comprises a leaf spring. 
   
   
       4 . The hose adapter according to  claim 1 , wherein the receiving part is formed with a latch jaw to prevent the clamp member from being deviated outside the receiving part. 
   
   
       5 . The hose adapter according to  claim 4 , wherein the clamp member is formed with a latch protrusion caught by the latch jaw inside the receiving part. 
   
   
       6 . The hose adapter according  claim 1 , wherein the resilient member supports the clamp member in an outward direction of the receiving part. 
   
   
       7 . A vacuum cleaner having a hose adapter, the hose adapter comprising:
 a connection pipe inserted into a body of the vacuum cleaner;   a receiving part disposed on an outer surface of the connection pipe;   a clamp member integrally formed with the receiving part and resiliently fitted into the body of the vacuum cleaner to secure the connection pipe; and   a resilient member disposed inside the receiving part to support the clamp member.   
   
   
       8 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 7 , wherein the resilient member is coupled to a fitting protrusion formed on the connection pipe inside the receiving part. 
   
   
       9 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 7 , wherein the resilient member comprises a leaf spring. 
   
   
       10 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 7 , wherein the receiving part is formed with a latch jaw to prevent the clamp member from being deviated outside the receiving part. 
   
   
       11 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 10 , wherein the clamp member is formed with a latch protrusion caught by the latch jaw inside the receiving part. 
   
   
       12 . The vacuum cleaner according to  claim 7 , wherein the resilient member supports the clamp member in an outward direction of the receiving part.
