(54) Dust separating apparatus


(57) A dust separating apparatus (100) for a vacuum cleaner having a casing (110), a cyclone unit (120) formed in the casing to filter contaminants from drawn-in air and discharge air removed of the contaminants, and a dust collection part (130) arranged in parallel with the cyclone unit (120) in the casing to collect the contaminant separated from the air by the cyclone unit (120). The casing (110) is substantially semicircular to correspond to the mounting chamber (13) of the vacuum cleaner body (11). On a bottom surface of the cyclone unit, an air inlet (111) and an air outlet are formed. The air outlet is formed at one side of the air inlet (111).
