(54)	Multi-purpose electric cleaner with foldaway handle, for floors, walls, padded furniture and similar uses

(57) Multi-purpose electric cleaner (10) for floors, walls, padded funiture and similar uses, in which the foldaway handle (35), turning on an uppermost hinge (30), can assume two positions, the first an open position for cleaning floors and the like being substantially aligned with the axis of the cleaner, and the second a closed position for cleaning padded furniture in particular or when the appliance is out of use, matching when in that position with a housing of substantially the same shape and dimensions made in the back (13) of the appliance, so that said handle can substantially become part of the structure of the body of the appliance into which it practically "disappears".
