Abstract (en)

The vacuum cleaner in which the waste container-receptacle object of the invention is applicable, is of the type that bases its operation on the so-called cyclone or centrifugal effect, throwing the wastes drawn in against the side walls of the container to produce a depositing of said wastes in the bottom, where they are stored until same is emptied. The container comprises two independent tanks (2) wherein most of the side surface and bottom (10) thereof is closed by a tiltable cover (14), whose opening permits easy and effective emptying and cleaning. The tanks (2) have respective inclined partition walls (15) that reduce the amount of particles that rise up to the top area where some filters (8) provided for in a top cover (6) are located. This also permits the acceptable level of wastes to rise above such partition walls (15).
