Abstract:
1. A vacuum cleaner comprising a filter housing ( 6 ) having a longitudinal housing axis, said filter housing enclosing a filter space, a handle ( 7 ) secured to said filter housing ( 6 ), a separate motor mounting chamber ( 11 ), securing means ( 5 , CE) rigidly and releasably connecting said separate motor mounting chamber ( 11 ) to said filter housing ( 6 ), a motor ( 12 ) operatively secured inside said separate motor mounting chamber ( 11 ), said separate motor mounting chamber comprising a first chamber wall ( 3 B) and a second chamber wall ( 3 A) enclosing said separate motor mounting chamber ( 11 ), said first and second chamber walls ( 3 B, 3 A) slanting at a first angle relative to each other and at a second angle relative to said longitudinal housing axis, a suction pipe section ( 2 ) rigidly secured to said first wall ( 3 B) of said separate motor mounting chamber ( 11 ) so that forces effective on said suction pipe section ( 2 ) are directly transmitted from said suction pipe section ( 2 ) through said separate motor mounting chamber ( 11 ) to said filter housing ( 6 ), and a separate cover ( 4 ) secured to said separate motor mounting chamber ( 11 ) so that said separate cover ( 4 ) is relieved by said separate motor mounting chamber ( 11 ) from transmitting said forces effective on said suction pipe section ( 2 ) to said filter housing ( 6 ).
