Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2533623A] A surface cleaning apparatus comprises a dirt collection container (12, fig 4) which is removable from a remainder of the apparatus, wherein the dirt collection container (12, fig 4) is held in a stored position relative the remainder of the apparatus by a holding device, said holding device including a first co-operating member 18 provided in, provided on or connected to the dirt collection container (12, fig 4) and a second co-operating member 16 provided in, provided on or connected to the remainder of the apparatus. Movement of the dirt collection container (12, fig 4) towards its stored position engages the first and second co-operating members 18, 16 with each other and effects either rotation of the first co-operating member 18 relative to the dirt collection container (12, fig 4) and/or rotation of the second co-operating member 16 relative to the remainder of the apparatus. The first and second cooperating members 18, 16 may act as a cam and cam follower. The dirt collection chamber (12, fig 4) is preferably removed from the surface cleaning apparatus through an opening in one of the wheels.
