Dust collecting filter for vacuum cleaner and vacuum cleaner having the same
First Claim
1. A dust collecting fitter for a vacuum cleaner mounted in a dust collecting chamber of the vacuum cleaner having an air inlet and an air outlet, for filtering dust from air drawn in through the air inlet, the dust collecting filter being reusable, the dust collecting filter comprising:
- a filter casing having a backside surface and a side surface vertically extended from an edge of the backside surface to thereby define a predetermined space therein, the backside surface having an air discharging hole formed therein to fluid-communicate with the air outlet;
a cover having an air inflow hole fluid-communicating with the air inlet and separably connected with the filter casing; and
a dust filtering means mounted in the filter casing, for filtering dust from the air that is drawn in through the air inflow hole and discharged through the air discharging hole.

Abstract
A dust collecting filter for an vacuum cleaner capable of being reused after being emptied and washed The dust collecting filter comprises a filter casing having a backside surface and a side surface vertically extended from an edge of the backside surface to thereby define a predetermined space therein, the backside surface having an air discharging hole formed therein to fluid-communicate with the air outlet, a cover having an air inflow hole fluid-communicating with the air inlet and separably connected with the filter casing, and a dust filtering means mounted in the filter casing, for filtering dust from the air that is drawn in through the air inflow hole and discharged through the air discharging hole. Accordingly, since the dust collecting filter can be reused after being emptied and washed, it is not required to replace the dust collecting filter. Also, since the filter is designed to prevent the propagation of the bacteria, it can keep the cleanliness of the environment. Also, easy separation and mounting of the filter improves the convenience in using the cleaner.

9. A vacuum cleaner comprising:
-
a cleaner body having a dust collecting chamber provided with an air inlet and an air outlet and connected to a suction brush;
a vacuum-generating device disposed in a driving chamber, for generating a negative pressure in the dust collecting chamber, the driving chamber disposed in a rear portion of the dust collecting chamber of the cleaner body to fluid-communicate with the dust collecting chamber through the air outlet; and
a dust collecting filter mounted in the dust collecting chamber, for filtering and collecting dust collecting filter from air drawn into the dust collecting chamber, the dust- collecting fitter being reusable, the dust collecting filter comprising, a filter casing having a backside surface and a side surface vertically extended from an edge of the backside surface to thereby define a predetermined space therein, the backside surface having an air discharging hole formed therein to fluid-communicate with the air outlet;
a cover having an air inflow hole fluid-communicating with the air inlet and separably connected with the filter casing; and
a dust filtering means mounted in the filter casing, for filtering dust from the air that is drawn in through the air inflow hole and discharged through the air discharging hole. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
