Abstract:
1. A vacuum cleaner comprising: wheels defining a surface at a lowermost point of the wheels when the vacuum cleaner is in a normal operating position; a dust collection chamber; a cover configured to close the dust collection chamber, the cover including a projecting detent element; and a mount for a dust bag, the mount being disposed in the dust collection chamber and being pivotable, by receiving of the dust bag in the mount, about a pivot axis from a first position blocking a closure path of the cover to a second position in which the mount does not block closure path of the cover, the pivot axis lying in a plane that is perpendicular to the defined surface, a center of gravity of the mount being disposed on a side of the plane that is opposite the projecting detent element so that the mount is automatically pivotable from the second position to the first position when the dust bag is removed from the mount when the vacuum cleaner is disposed in the normal operating position on the surface and the surface is substantially level.
