Abstract

PURPOSE:To give no physical fatigue sense to a user, and also, to eliminate the fear that the floor surface is flawed by providing a wheel on the back part of a main body. CONSTITUTION:To a grip part 1a of a back part of a main body 1, a small-sized wheel 12 is attached axially. At the time of cleaning a place whose height is low such as under a desk, etc., the main body 1 is allowed to approach the floor surface 8, and the main body 1 is supported by the wheel 12. As a result, the cleaner is supported by a wheel 7 and the wheel 12. Subsequently, a user starts a motor of a fan, pushes the cleaner by gripping a handle 6, rotates the wheel 7 and 12, and moves it to the whole surface of the lower part of a desk 11. In the course of cleaning, weight of the cleaner is all supported by the wheel 7 and 12, therefore, no force is applied to a hand for gripping the handle 6 of a cleaner user 10, and even if cleaning lasts as long as many hours, the user does not feel physical fatigue. Also, when a material of the wheel is selected suitably in accordance with specifications of the floor surface 8, the wheel 12 does not flaw the floor surface 8.
