Abstract (en)
A vacuum cleaner (10) includes a telescoping handle (22) having a plurality of resilient pads (106, 116) for preventing vibration and motion of the handle (22) with respect to the remainder of the vacuum cleaner. All elements of the vacuum cleaner are mounted on a single frame (34). A power unit (12) includes two halves which are mounted on the frame (34) from opposite sides. A socket (26) at a lower end of the frame (34) receives the lower end (38) of a substantially rigid dust bowl (14). The upper end (30) of the dust bowl (14) includes a gasket (50) maintained in face-sealing contact with a lower surface (32) of the power unit (12). A latch assembly (123) in the frame (34) includes a locking dog (128) urged into locking entry in one of two openings (117, 119) in the telescoping handle shaft (22). A pair of ramp teeth (134) enter corresponding limit ramps (125, 127) when an attempt is made to extend the handle (22) beyond its normal extension. This prevents further extension but mating ramp surfaces (144, 148) permit retraction to one of the normal locking positions.
