  • Dirt cup latch mechanism for vacuum cleaner
    Patent number: 9706889
    Abstract: A latch mechanism for selectively fastening a dirt cup to a vacuum cleaner having a locking recess. The latch mechanism can include a latch member having a portion that is selectively received in the locking recess and a latch actuator comprising at least one button. When the latch mechanism is actuated, the latch actuator bears against the latch member, which initiates vertical movement of the latch member relative to the latch actuator. The latch member is thereby moved from a latched position in which the portion of the latch member is received within the locking recess to an unlatched position in which the portion of the latch member is removed from the locking recess, thereby allowing the dirt cup to be removed from the vacuum cleaner.

  • Dirt cup latch mechanism for vacuum cleaner
    Patent number: 8640301
    Abstract: A latch mechanism for selectively fastening a dirt cup to a vacuum cleaner having a locking recess. The latch mechanism can include a latch member having a portion that is selectively received in the locking recess and a cam follower surface, and a latch actuator comprising at least one button with a cam surface that faces the cam follower surface. When the latch mechanism is actuated, the cam surface bears against the cam follower surface, which initiates vertical movement of the latch member relative to the latch actuator. The latch member is thereby moved from a latched position in which the portion of the latch member is received within the locking recess to an unlatched position in which the portion of the latch member is removed from the locking recess, thereby allowing the dirt cup to be removed from the vacuum cleaner.
