Abstract:
A hand vacuum cleaner has a pre-motor filter, a suction motor and a post motor filter that are arranged linearly.

Claim (Index 9):
A hand vacuum cleaner comprising:\n (a) a front end and a rear end; (b) an air flow passage extending from a dirty air inlet of the hand vacuum cleaner to a clean air outlet of the hand vacuum cleaner, wherein the dirty air inlet is provided at the front end of the hand vacuum cleaner; (c) a cyclone unit positioned in the air flow passage upstream from the suction motor and comprising an openable front door provided at the front end of the hand vacuum cleaner and a first cyclonic stage; (d) the first cyclonic stage having a front end and a rear end, the first cyclonic stage comprising a cyclone comprising a cyclone air inlet, a first stage cyclone air outlet comprising a screen and a cyclone axis extending in an axial direction between the front end and the rear end of the hand vacuum cleaner, the first stage cyclone air outlet having a direction of flow; (e) a pre-motor filter positioned in the air flow passage downstream from the outlet passage; (f) a suction motor positioned in the air flow passage downstream from the pre-motor filter, the suction motor having a motor axis and a downstream end; and, (g) a post-motor filter positioned in the air flow passage downstream from the suction motor, wherein each of the pre-motor filter and the post-motor filter has an outer perimeter defining a volume and the cyclone axis and the motor axis each extend through a centre of the volumes, and wherein the motor axis extends in the axial direction, and wherein air travels rearwardly from the dirty air inlet to the cyclone air inlet of the first cyclonic stage.
