Abstract: A locking device, especially for a cover (11) of a suction cleaner, comprises at least one movable latch (12) cooperating with a corresponding step (13) on the cover. The latch is attached to the free end of a leaf spring (14). A control means (17) is provided adjacent the leaf spring and movable in parallel therewith. The control means has a push button (17a) at one end and an inclined guide surface (17b) at its other end, said guide surface cooperating with a corresponding stationary supporting surface (18). Axial displacement of the control means (17) by means of the push button (17a) results in a lateral movement which actuates the leaf spring (14) to release the latch (12) from its engagement with the step (13).

Abstract: In a wheel bearing arrangement for a suction cleaner, the wheel (20) has on its inside a shaft (21) cooperating with bearing surfaces (12,14) in the suction cleaner housing (10) and a bottom portion (15) thereof, respectively. According to the invention, the housing (10) comprises a supporting wall (16) extending along the outside of the wheel and having a bearing member (17) cooperating with a pivot (22) provided on the outside of the wheel.
