Vacuum cleaner
First Claim
1. A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a suction hose that is configured to guide dust;
a cleaner main body that is coupled to the suction hose, that is configured to collect dust from the suction hose based on suction force, and that includes;
a main body portion that includes an interior area,a suction motor that is configured to generate suction force,a dust container that is located in the interior area of the main body portion and that includes (i) a storage space to collect dust and (ii) a suction port through which dust is collected from the suction hose into the storage space, anda cover member (i) that is configured to rotate, about an axis that is outside of a plane of the cover member, between a first position and a second position, (ii) that covers, based on the cover member being located at the first position, at least a portion of the dust container, and (iii) that includes a coupling unit that couples the suction hose to the suction port;
a first sealing portion that is coupled to a first end of the coupling unit and that extends at a first angle relative to ground; and
