Vacuum cleaner
A cleaner including a case, a brush provided in the case so that the brush rotates to sweep foreign matter, a dust removal unit including a bar-type body and a dusting part directly extending from the bar-type body. The dust removal unit is moveable between a first position where the dusting part contacts the brush and a second position where the dusting part is separated from the brush. The cleaner also includes a first part directly connected to the bar-type body and a second part integrally formed with the first part and extending from an end of the first part. While a force is applied to the second part, the force is transmitted through the first part to the dust removal unit such that the dusting part moves from the second position to the first position.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a case;
a brush provided in the case and configured to rotate to sweep foreign matter;
a dust removal member comprising a bar-type body and a dusting part directly extending from the bar-type body, the dusting part configured to pivot between a first position where the dusting part contacts the brush and a second position where the dusting part is separated from the brush;
a first part connected to the bar-type body; and
a second part integrally formed with the first part and extending from the first part, wherein when a force is applied to the second part, the force is transmitted through to the first part and to the dust removal member such that the dusting part pivots from the second position to the first position.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising
an elastic part to elastically bias the second part,
wherein when the force is released, the dusting part moves from the first position to the second position due to the elastic part.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first part protrudes above the case and the second part is bent from an end of the first part toward a front of the case.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first part protrudes forward from the case.
5. The apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising
a support part protruding from the case,
wherein the elastic part is provided between the support part and the first part to elastically bias the first part in an upward direction.
6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an actuating member coupled to the case, the actuating member configured to be moved between an actuating position at which the first part is pressed and a releasing position at which the first part is released.
7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the actuating member comprises a front plate provided at a front of the first part and an upper plate connected to an upper end of the front plate and bent rearward.
8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising an elastic part to elastically bias the first part, the second part extending downward from an end of the first part to hold an upper end of the elastic part.
9. A cleaning apparatus comprising:
a case housing a suction port;
a drum brush provided in the case;
a dust removal member having a dusting part configured to pivot between a first position at which the dusting part contacts the drum brush and a second position at which the dusting part is separated from the drum brush;
a first part extending from the dust removal member;
a second part integrally formed with an extension part and extending from an end of the extension part,
wherein when a force is applied to the second part, the force is transmitted through to the first part and to the dust removal member such that the dusting part pivots from the second position to the first position.
