Abstract

The vacuum cleaner comprises a main body, a handle, a disinfecting light and a vibrating device. The handle is fitted to the main body. The handle consists of several shorter tubular portions. Therefore, the handle may be assembled and disassembled easily. The disinfecting light is provided in the back of a dust inlet so that dust and waste may be disinfected when they are removed by the vacuum cleaner. The vibrating device is disposed near the dust inlet so that the dusts and waste may be removed immediately after they detach from the floor. As a coil is activated, the flexible strip can start to vibrate and the range of the vibrations is limited because of the presence of a cushion.

Claims

1. An improved vacuum cleaner, comprising:

a main body;

a handle, fitted on the main body to allow a user to use the vacuum cleaner and consisted of several shorter tubular portions, wherein the handle may be disassembled when the vacuum cleaner is not in use;

a disinfecting light, provided in the back of a dust inlet to kill bacteria when dusts and waste are sucked into the dust inlet; and

a vibrating device, disposed on the bottom of the main body and able to generate vibrations so that dusts and waste attached to the floor may detach from the floor and then be sucked into the dust inlet of the vacuum cleaner.

2. The improved vacuum cleaner as in claim 1, wherein several connective units are provide to connect these shorter tubular portions to allow the handle to be assembled and disassembled easily.

3. The improved vacuum cleaner as in claim 1, wherein the disinfecting light is an ultraviolet light.

4. The improved vacuum cleaner as in claim 1, wherein the vibrating device is disposed near the dust inlet so that the dusts and waste may be sucked in immediately after they detach from the floor.

5. The improved vacuum cleaner as in claim 1, wherein The vibrating device includes a vibrating strip, a flexible strip and a cushion, which is provided at one end of the flexible strip, wherein flexible strip is disposed in the back of the vibrating strip and the cushion is fixedly seated on a seat portion, which is disposed on the bottom of the vacuum clean, and wherein a magnet is disposed at the other end of flexible strip and a coil is provided in the main body, and wherein as the coil is activated, the flexible strip can start to vibrate and the vibrations are limited because of the presence of the cushion, which is fixedly seated on the seat portion.

6. The improved vacuum cleaner as in claim 5, wherein the cushion is a rubber cushion.
