Patent ID: 11723501

Abstract:
The handheld vacuum cleaner (10) includes a housing (22), a handle (42), a suction opening (90), and a debris separator (14). The debris separator (14) includes a generally horizontal cyclone (66). An airflow rotate about a cyclone axis (70) to separate debris from the airflow. The cyclone axis (70) being generally perpendicular to an inlet axis (222). A suction source (170) is operable to generate the airflow. The suction source (170) including a suction source axis (186), a motor (178), and a fan (182) rotated by the motor (178) about the suction source axis (186). The suction source axis (186) is positioned at an obtuse angle relative to the inlet axis (222) and perpendicular to the cyclone axis (70). A debris collector (18) is in fluid communication with the debris outlet (126). The debris collector (18) is configured to receive the debris separated from the airflow. The debris collector (18) extends below the suction source (170).
