Patent number: 10213079Abstract: An electric vacuum cleaner that can be improved in quietness without increasing in size while securing air intake balance. The electric vacuum cleaner includes an electric blower. The electric vacuum cleaner includes a separating part that separates dust sucked by the electric blower. The separating part includes a first centrifugally separating part that centrifugally separates dust sucked by the electric blower. The separating part includes a plurality of second centrifugally separating parts that centrifugally separates dust smaller than dust to be separated by the first centrifugally separating part. The second centrifugally separating parts communicate with the downstream side of the first centrifugally separating part, and are disposed at positions opposite to each other with respect to the electric blower.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2014Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: TOSHIBA LIFESTYLE PRODUCTS & SERVICES CORPORATIONInventors: Naoko Kawamura, Yasuhiro Ohtsu, Yukio Machida, Tsutomu Inoue, Atsushi Morishita

Patent number: 10034589Abstract: An electric vacuum cleaner that secures efficiency and quietness without increasing the size of a main body part. The electric vacuum cleaner includes an electric blower, and a main body part including a first centrifugally separating part that centrifugally separates dust from air containing dust sucked by the electric blower. The first centrifugally separating part includes a dust collecting cup including a dust collecting cup main body that is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape and turns air containing dust inside, and an exhaust tube part that is formed along the central axis of the dust collecting cup main body and discharges exhaust air of the electric blower from the bottom portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2014Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: TOSHIBA LIFESTYLE PRODUCTS & SERVICES CORPORATIONInventors: Naoko Kawamura, Yasuhiro Ohtsu, Yukio Machida, Tsutomu Inoue, Atsushi Morishita

Publication number: 20070226953Abstract: The vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum cleaner body (20) having a dust collector (60) and an electric blower (33) for producing an intake negative pressure in the dust collector, a filter (100) for separating dust absorbed in the dust collector with air by the negative pressure, and a dust dumping member (304) for dumping the dust attached to the filter by vibrating the filter. Moreover, the vacuum cleaner includes a handle (200) mounted on the vacuum cleaner body for carrying the vacuum cleaner body, the handle being movable in a vertical direction between a storing position and a using position; a storage spring (323) for energizing the handle to the storing position; and a power transmission unit (300A) for driving the dust dumping member by linking with the vertical movement of the handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: Toshiba Tec Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuhiro Ohtsu, Masatoshi Tanaka, Yuji Otsuka, Yukio Machida, Mitsuru Watanabe

Patent number: 7159276Abstract: Catching grooves (34) extending in the axial direction are formed in the cylindrical outer surface of a brush base (35) that has a slender, substantially cylindrical shape and made of a twistable material. Brush attaching portions (43) of brush members (41) and blade attaching portions (47) of scraping members (42) are respectively secured in the catching grooves (34) so that axially aligned bristles (44) of each brush member (41) and an axially extending blade (46) of each scraping member (42) project from the cylindrical outer surface of the brush base (35). Receiving members (53) are respectively fitted to both ends of a shaft (51) inserted through a shaft insertion hole (39) of the brush base (35). By rotating the receiving members (53) in opposite directions, the brush base (35) is twisted in a spiral and secured. By eliminating the necessity of forming the brush base (35) in a twisted shape beforehand by means of twist extrusion molding, the invention facilitates production of the brush base (35).Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2005Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: Toshiba Tec Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shuhei Omoto, Yasuhiro Ohtsu
