Abstract: A vacuum cleaner dust separation unit having a cyclone chamber (113) and a dust collection chamber (115). The cyclone chamber (113) extends along a longitudinal axis (398), and has an air inlet (183), an air outlet (408), an inlet wall (396) between the air inlet (183) and the air outlet (408), and one or more air passages (404) through the inlet wall (396). The dust collection chamber (115) is adapted to receive dirt from the cyclone chamber (113). In one aspect, the inlet wall (396) comprises an elliptical wall that is located adjacent the air inlet (182) and angled relative to the longitudinal axis (398). In another aspect, the cyclone chamber (113) has an end wall (432) located opposite the inlet wall (396), and a dirt outlet (114) to the dust collection chamber (115) located adjacent the end wall (432), and the end wall (432) has a recessed portion (438) surrounding an extended portion (436) that protrudes into the cyclone chamber (113).

Abstract: The invention relates to a barbecue (1) comprising a carrier element (2), a grilling area (3) being substantial horizontal orientated and being located at the top of the carrier element (2) and a cover (4), wherein the cover (4) can be positioned in a first position (A) in which the grilling area (3) is covered and in a second position (B) in which the grilling area (3) is accessible. To improve the functionality of such a barbecue, the invention suggests that means (5, 6) are provided to allow the cover (4) to move from the first position (A) into the second position (B), wherein the cover (4) is pivoted during the movement from the first position (A) into the second position (B) around a horizontal axis (7) and wherein the barycentre (S) of the cover (4) is moved from a first level (hA) to a second, lower level (hB).
