Abstract: The electric vacuum cleaner is disclosed which includes a main body within which an electric blower and cyclonic separation cylinder are provided. A dust collecting case is provided in communication with the cyclonic separation cylinder to receive dust that has been separated from the inlet tube. The dust collecting case also includes a lifter arranged therein. Air received from the inlet tube is separated such that a portion is passed through the dust collecting case and a communicating passage. The air is subsequently merged and discharge through the electric blower.

Abstract: At a vaned diffuser or a volute casing of a centrifugal fluid machine, pressure pulsation and vibrating forces acting upon the diffuser or the volute casing are mitigated or cancelled so as to abate the noise from the centrifugal fluid machine. The fluid machine having an impeller 3 rotating about a rotating shaft 2 within a casing 1 and having a vaned diffuser 4 or volute 12 fixed to the casing 1 is constructed such that radius of the vane trailing edge of the impeller 3 and radius of the vane leading edge of the diffuser 4 or radius of the volute tongue is varied in the direction of axis of rotation and inclinations, on a meridional plane, of the vane trailing edge of the impeller 3 and the vane leading edge of the diffuser 4 or the volute tongue are set in the same orientation, thereby reduction in head and efficiency or occurrence of an axial thrust may be restrained to the extent possible to optimally abate the noise and pressure pulsation of the centrifugal fluid machine.
