  • Patent number: 11363926
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner dust container holder for holding a dust container having a connector plate. The holder has an insert slot configured to receive the connector plate of the dust container and configured to hold the connector plate in a working position within a vacuum cleaner during use of the vacuum cleaner. The insert slot is configured to bend at least a first portion of the connector plate upon insertion of the connector plate into the insert slot, or configured to bend at least a first portion of the connector plate after insertion of the connector plate into the insert slot. A connector plate for a vacuum cleaner dust container, and a vacuum cleaner comprising a holder are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10986969
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner dust container having a dust bag, made of an air permeable material, and a connector plate, surrounding an opening in the dust bag. The connector plate is configured by the connector plate being slid into a holder of a vacuum cleaner to correctly position the opening therein. The connector plate has a central portion surrounding the opening, and an extending portion projecting from the central portion. The extending portion has a lower bending stiffness than the central portion about an axis perpendicular to the direction in which it is inserted. Thereby extending portion can be bent out of the plane of the central portion and into a curvature without bending the central portion, which facilitates fitting the connector plate in a vacuum cleaner canister with curved inner walls.
