Abstract

The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner which can clean items of bedding such as quilts in a straightforward fashion. The disclosed invention comprises: a secured tube which is secured horizontally to the front surface of the main body of the cleaner and sucks in dust and the like from the outside due to the operation of a vacuum motor housed in the main body of the cleaner; a pair of securing members which secure the two ends of the secured tube to the main body of the cleaner and convey the sucked-in dust to a filter unit housed in the main body of the cleaner; and a suction tube which is rotatably provided on the outer circumferential surface of the secured tube and rolls along the surface to be cleaned, and in the cylindrical surface of which are formed a plurality of dust-suction holes for sucking in dust and the like. In the vacuum cleaner of the present invention, because the suction tube in which the plurality of dust-suction holes are formed is rotatably provided on the outer circumferential surface of the secured tube, the suction tube continuously turns while cleaning bedding or the like by pushing or pulling the main body of the cleaner, and thus the bedding is not sucked into the secured tube and the user can perform cleaning in a straightforward fashion without exertion.
