ABSTRACT:
A portable wet/dry vacuum cleaner is disclosed having a handle base and a combination nozzle/debris container. The handle base comprises a housing having a motor, a blower driven by the motor, and a battery pack for energization of the motor located therein. The blower is in communication with the container for forceably drawing air and entrained debris in the air into the container, for depositing the debris in the container, and for exhausting air from the handle base. A channel is provided within the outer end of the container, which channel extends inwardly and upwardly, but terminates short of the housing. The latter has an air duct between the nozzle/debris container and the blower having an inlet spaced from the inner end of the channel. A deflector is disposed between the inner end of the channel and the inlet of the air duct for directing debris entrained into the air exhausted from the channel away from the air duct inlet. The vacuum cleaner (or appliance) further includes a charging base for holding or mounting the vacuum cleaner. The charging base has a recess formed therein to receive at least a portion of the handle base. The handle base has a receptacle formed therein and a finger from the recharging base fits into the receptacle such that the vacuum cleaner is rotated on the finger toward the recharging base, electrical charging terminal both on the vacuum cleaner and on the recharging base cammingly engage one another thereby to resiliently hold the vacuum cleaner in place on the base and to permit recharging of the batteries within the vacuum cleaner.
