| 20080263815 | Dust collecting apparatus for vacuum cleaner - A dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner is provided. The dust collecting apparatus includes a dust collecting unit, which is detachably mounted in a main body of the vacuum cleaner and comprises an inlet and an exhaust port, to separate dust from air flowing into the inlet, collect the separated dust and discharge air from which the dust has been separated to the exhaust port; a cover to open and close an upper part of the dust collecting unit; a dust compression plate which is capable of upward and downward movement inside the dust collecting unit; and a plunger which penetrates the cover, one end of the plunger being attached to the dust compression plate by a hinge; wherein the plunger enables the dust compression plate to move upwardly and downwardly when dust compression is being performed, and the plunger is retracted and folded down toward the cover about one end of the plunger when dust compression is not being performed. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080264015 | Dust compressing apparatus of vacuum cleaner - A dust compressing apparatus of a vacuum cleaner that automatically compresses dust or dirt collected and stored in a dust separating apparatus. The dust compressing apparatus includes a compressing plate to compress dust or dirt collected in the dust separating apparatus, a lifting and lowering unit connected to the compressing plate above the compressing plate to lift and lower the compressing plate, and a driving motor to drive the lifting and lowering unit thus to lift and lower the compressing plate. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080289138 | Suction port assembly and vacuum cleaner having the same - A suction port assembly and vacuum cleaner having the same is disclosed. The suction port assembly includes a casing comprising a suction port which draws in dust from a surface being cleaned; a drum brush which is disposed rotatably in the casing, on an external surface of which a plurality of bristles are arranged to shake off dust from the surface being cleaned; and a rib which is disposed at a position close to the drum brush, is mounted in the casing so that its one end is in contact with the bristles, and detaches the dust from the bristles when the drum brush rotates; and wherein the bristles are contacted on a slant relative to the rib to prevent the drum brush from rotating when the casing is pulled towards a user. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080289141 | Nozzle assembly of vacuum cleaner - A nozzle assembly of a vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The nozzle assembly includes a nozzle assembly body having an air inlet and an air outlet, a drum brush unit disposed in the nozzle assembly body in the vicinity of the air inlet, and having a drum brush disposed to brush away dirt or dust adhered to a surface to be cleaned while coming in rotation contact therewith, and a movable brush unit disposed in at least one of the front and the rear of the air inlet on an undersurface of the nozzle assembly body to pivot in an opposite direction to a moving direction of the nozzle assembly body thus to change a contacting angle to the surface to be cleaned in the range of a predetermined angle and then to brush away dirt or dust adhered to the surface to be cleaned, in moving of the nozzle assembly body. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090049642 | Suction brush for vacuum cleaner - A suction brush for a vacuum cleaner is provided. The suction brush includes an upper casing; a lower casing; an elevating plate installed between the upper casing and the lower casing; a cleaned surface sensing part for sensing; a lever rotatably provided around a rotating shaft that is parallel to the elevating plate; and a solenoid. The solenoid rotates the lever in one direction when the surface to be cleaned is the hard floor and rotates the lever in the other direction when the surface to be cleaned is the carpet. The lower casing contacts the surface to be cleaned as the elevating plate descends, while it comes apart from the surface to be cleaned as the elevating plate ascends. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090089967 | Suction nozzle for use in vacuum cleaner - A suction nozzle for use in a vacuum cleaner, which can clean a surface to be cleaned having a corner portion where a horizontal surface and a vertical surface meet, such as a staircase, is disclosed. The suction nozzle includes a nozzle body having an air inlet formed in a bottom surface thereof to draw in air, and a brush unit having a liftable brush liftably and lowerably disposed in the nozzle body in front of the air inlet and coming in surface contact with a surface to be cleaned to brush away dirt or dust therefrom. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090100629 | Suction nozzle-hanging apparatus for use in vacuum cleaner - A suction nozzle hanging apparatus for use in a vacuum cleaner that can hang and store a suction nozzle assembly having a suction nozzle on a cleaner body. The suction nozzle hanging apparatus includes a fixing part formed on a suction nozzle assembly, the suction nozzle assembly having a suction nozzle and an extended tube connected to the suction nozzle, and a counter fixing part formed on a cleaner body and joining with the fixing part to support the suction nozzle assembly on the cleaner body, wherein the fixing part is disposed to be rotatable on a longitudinal axis of the joining connector. | 04-23-2009 |
