Abstract (en)

An exhaust filter (20) assembly for a vacuum cleaner comprising a filter frame (21) accommodating the filter (20) and a cover (10) pivotally mounted to a vacuum cleaner body (30) and which is pivotally between an open position and a closed position, where the cover (10) comprises at least one first rib (11) formed on an inner surface of the cover (10) for positioning the filter frame (21) into a preliminary position inside a filter cavity (33) placed in the vacuum cleaner body (30) whereas at least one second rib (12) pushes the filter frame (21) into its end position after setting the cover (10) in the closed position.The present invention provides an exhaust filter arrangement which is positions inside the vacuum cleaner body correctly without attention of the user thanks only to the existence of the set of ribs placed on the inner surface of the cover. The present invention provides an easy to use, intuitive, self-positioning exhaust filter arrangement for efficient exhaust air filtering which comes out of the vacuum cleaner during vacuuming.
