VACUUM CLEANER ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18228168 titled 'VACUUM CLEANER ASSEMBLY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vacuum cleaner assembly with a unique dust collection portion that can be easily removed from the body for cleaning or maintenance purposes.

  • The vacuum cleaner assembly includes a body with a protrusion at the base connection end, a handle opposite the base connection end, and a dust collection portion with a lock passage and track for easy removal.
  • The protrusion on the body is located in the lock passage in a locked position and in the track in an unlocked position, allowing for selective removal of the dust collection portion.
  • The design of the vacuum cleaner assembly makes it convenient for users to detach and clean the dust collection portion without the need for complex tools or procedures.
