- a cleaner body having an upper dust chamber, a lower motor driving chamber housing a motor, an air inflow path, and an air outflow path for interconnecting the upper dust chamber and the lower motor driving chamber;
a cyclone body mounted in an upper portion of the dust chamber and connected to the air inflow path and the air outflow path;
a dust barrel removably mounted to a lower side of the cyclone body;

Abstract
An upright type vacuum cleaner has a separately removable dust barrel. The vacuum cleaner includes a suction brush and a cleaner body having a dust chamber, a motor driving chamber housing a motor, an air inflow path, and an air outflow path for interconnecting the upper dust chamber and the lower motor driving chamber. A cyclone body is mounted in the dust chamber, and a dust barrel removably mounted to a lower side of the cyclone body. The vacuum cleaner further includes a fine dust filtering portion removably disposed in the air outflow path. The vacuum cleaner also includes a locking/unlocking portion that detaches the dust barrel from the cyclone body. Accordingly, a user can dispose of collected contaminants and dust without having to remove the entire cyclone dust collecting apparatus, but rather by removing only the dust barrel from the dust chamber.
