Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2440715A] A domestic appliance, such as a cyclonic vacuum cleaner 1, comprises a component, such as separating apparatus 3, carried by a chassis 2. A catch 11 is provided and is operable to release the component from the chassis. The component and the chassis are able to move slightly with respect to each other. When the appliance is lifted there is relative movement, against the force of resilient means 18, between the component and the chassis, so that the catch 11 occupies a position that inhibits its release. The resilient means 18 may be provided by a helical spring. The provision of resilient means provides some resistance to the catch moving into the locked position, thereby ensuring that the catch is inhibited from release only when the appliance is lifted from a surface.
