At this time, the pin 235 is provided with a third elastic member 237 together with the auxiliary support member 230 at an initial position where the auxiliary support member 230 opens to the left and right as much as possible. Accordingly, when the meshing between the auxiliary support member 230 and the hook member 220 is released, the third elastic member 237 rotates the auxiliary support member 230 to the maximum open position by the elastic restoring force. .

以下、本発明の好適な実施例による延長管支持装置の動作を添付の図面を参照して説明する。   Hereinafter, the operation of the extension pipe support apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

床面に対する掃除作業は、一般に、ユーザが片手で真空掃除機の作動取っ手３０を把持すると共に他の片手で延長管４０を把持した状態で、掃除面に沿って移動しながら行うようになる。このような掃除作業中、掃除を一時止めて床面上のものを拾い上げたり片付けたりするなどの場合、ユーザは、延長管支持装置１００を作動させることで、延長管４０を図５に示されたように床面に対して立てた状態で掃除機を待機させることができる。   In general, the cleaning operation on the floor surface is performed while moving along the cleaning surface while the user holds the operating handle 30 of the vacuum cleaner with one hand and the extension tube 40 with the other hand. In such a cleaning operation, when the cleaning is temporarily stopped and the object on the floor surface is picked up or cleaned up, the user operates the extension tube support device 100 to show the extension tube 40 in FIG. As described above, the vacuum cleaner can be made to stand by while standing on the floor.

即ち、ユーザが図３の矢印方向に押しボタン２１０を押すと、押しボタン２１０は、フック部材２２０のそれぞれを押圧し、これにより、フック部材２２０は、図３の矢印方向に回動しながら、支持部材１２０にピン２３７で結合された補助支持部材２３０との噛み合いが解除され、これにより、支持部材１２０のロックが解除される。   That is, when the user presses the push button 210 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3, the push button 210 presses each of the hook members 220, so that the hook member 220 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The engagement with the auxiliary support member 230 coupled to the support member 120 with the pin 237 is released, and thereby the lock of the support member 120 is released.

そうすると、支持部材１２０は、図４に示されたように、ヒンジ収容溝１１３、１１４にヒンジ突起１２１と共に結合された第１の弾性部材１１６の反発力により床面に向けてオープンされる第１の位置に回動する。また、補助支持部材３０もやはりピン２３５と共に結合された第３の弾性部材２３７の反発力により図示のように両側に最大限開くようになる。従って、支持部材１２０は、延長管４０を床面に対して支持し、補助支持部材２３０は、支持部材１２０が左右に傾くのを防止する。   Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the support member 120 is opened toward the floor surface by the repulsive force of the first elastic member 116 coupled to the hinge receiving grooves 113 and 114 together with the hinge protrusion 121. Rotate to the position. Further, the auxiliary support member 30 is also opened to the maximum on both sides as shown in the figure by the repulsive force of the third elastic member 237 also coupled with the pin 235. Therefore, the support member 120 supports the extension pipe 40 with respect to the floor surface, and the auxiliary support member 230 prevents the support member 120 from tilting left and right.

ユーザが掃除作業を再開する場合は、支持部材１２０をカバー部材１１０に密着させる第２の位置に回動させる。すると、第１および第２のフック部材２２１、２２２は、補助支持部材２３０の表面に沿ってスライドしながら押しボタン２１０を押した場合と同様に左右に開くようになる。また、補助支持部材２３０もやはり第１および第２のフック部材２２１、２２２と接触しながら係止条２３１が係止部２２７と噛み合うように回動する。従って、補助支持部材２３０が延長管４０に密着される第２の位置まで回動すると、係止条２３１は、第１および第２のフック２２１、２２２に形成された係止部２２７と噛み合いながら支持部材１２０を前記第２の位置でロックする。従って、ユーザが支持部材１２０を延長管４０に密着させた状態で掃除を再開することができる。   When the user restarts the cleaning operation, the user rotates the support member 120 to the second position where the support member 120 is in close contact with the cover member 110. Then, the first and second hook members 221 and 222 open to the left and right in the same manner as when the push button 210 is pressed while sliding along the surface of the auxiliary support member 230. Further, the auxiliary support member 230 also rotates so that the locking strip 231 meshes with the locking portion 227 while contacting the first and second hook members 221 and 222. Therefore, when the auxiliary support member 230 is rotated to the second position where the auxiliary support member 230 is in close contact with the extension tube 40, the locking strip 231 is engaged with the locking portions 227 formed on the first and second hooks 221, 222. The support member 120 is locked in the second position. Therefore, cleaning can be resumed with the support member 120 in close contact with the extension tube 40.
