Vacuum cleaner and suction port assembly thereof
First Claim
1. A suction port assembly of a vacuum cleaner for drawing in air and dust from a surface being cleaned when the vacuum cleaner is in operation, the suction port assembly being connected in fluid communication with a cleaner body through one or more extended flow passages which include at least one of an extension pipe and an extension hose, the suction port assembly comprising:
- a suction head having a suction hole formed at a bottom surface thereof opposite to the surface being cleaned;
a first connection member extending from one side of the suction head;
a second connection member rotatably connected at one end to an exit end of the first connection member and rotatable about a first axis to move upwardly and downwardly with respect to the suction head, and the other end of the second connection member being connected with the extended flow passage, wherein air is drawn in through the suction hole during the vacuum cleaning operation, passed through the first connection member and the second connection member and into the extended flow passage.

Abstract
A suction port assembly of a vacuum cleaner is connected with a cleaner body by an extended flow passage and draws in air and dust from a surface being cleaned when the cleaner is in operation. The suction port assembly includes a suction head having a suction hole formed at a bottom surface opposite to the surface being cleaned. A first connection member extends from one side of the suction head. A second connection member rotatably connects at one end to an exit end of the first connection member and rotates about a first axis to move upwardly and downwardly with respect to the suction head, and at the other end is connected with the extended flow passage. A third connection member engages the second connection member with one end rotatable about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and the other end disengageably connected to the extended flow passage.

11. A vacuum cleaner comprising:
-
a cleaner body housing a vacuum generator therein;
an extended flow passage connected to the cleaner body in fluid communication with the vacuum generator;
a suction head rotatably formed at an end of the extended flow passage, and having a suction port which is connected in fluid communication with the extended flow passage; and
an articulated portion connecting the suction head and the extended flow passage in a rotatable manner about a plurality of axes, wherein the articulated portion includes, a pair of first tubular connection members protruding from the suction head, a second connection member connected to the tubular connection members in a rotatable manner about a first axis, and a third connection member connected to the second connection member in a rotatable manner about a second axis, and connected with the extended flow passage. - View Dependent Claims (12)
