ABSTRACT:
An air cleaner having an improved dust collector is provided. The dust collector can be readily removed for cleaning since the dust collector is directly attached to the rear cover of the filter, such that it can be removed together with the rear cover for cleaning. As a result, the rear cover and the dust collector can be removed in a more safe manner, such that an electric shock can be advantageously avoided. The air cleaner is provided with a processing chamber in the rear portion of the housing and an anion generating plate is disposed within the processing chamber. A locking tab and one lead of a power cord are fixedly attached to one side of the anion generating plate. The other end of the locking tab is provided with a hook from which a spring extends. A rear cover is provided to enclose the processing chamber. The rear cover is provided with a plurality of mounting posts by which a dust collector is mounted thereon. When the rear cover is attached to the processing chamber, the anion generating plate can be suitably received within the processing chamber and is biased by the spring disposed within the processing chamber. The housing further includes a substantially circular flange in which a power socket is disposed. An opening in the circular flange is opened toward the processing chamber. By that arrangement, the power plug together with the power cord are routed over the rear cover. In cleaning the dust collector, the plug must be unplugged first and then the rear cover together with the dust collector can be readily removed for cleaning, avoiding an electrical shock hazard.
