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

Claim (Index 1):
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; (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, the 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; (g) a post-motor filter positioned in the air flow passage downstream from the suction motor; and, (h) a handle provided between the front end and the rear end of the hand vacuum cleaner, 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 cyclone axis is generally parallel to the motor axis, and wherein the front door has a diameter and the rear end of the first cyclonic stage has a diameter that is generally equal to the diameter of the front door.
