摘要：The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner comprising a housing (1)

accommodating a suction unit (7). The vacuum cleaner comprises a suction nozzle (9)which can be coupled to the housing via a suction tube (13) and a suction hose (15). Thevacuum cleaner further comprises a handle (17), which is present near a coupling (69)between the suction hose and the suction tube, and a holder (25) for accessories (27, 29),which is detachably coupled to the handle and fits over the handle near a first end (37)and near a second end (39). According to the invention, the holder (25) comprises abridge portion (41) interconnecting the first end (37) and the second end (39) of theholder, and the holder is detachably coupled to the handle (17) exclusively by means of acoupling member (51) which is present on a portion (53) of the bridge portion which issituated at a distance from the first end and the second end. Thus, the holder can bereleased from the handle and the holder can be coupled to the handle in a simplemanner without much effort. During operation, the user holds the handle and the bridgetogether, thus preventing the holder from being unintentionally uncoupled from thehandle under the influence of, for example, handling forces. In a preferred embodiment,

the handle (17) is a tube, while the bridge portion (41) comprises a shell-like portion (41)which is present at least near the first end (37) and near the second end (39), and whichpartially fits over the handle substantially without clearance. Thus, the holder (25) issecured against torsional movement around the coupling member (51) when it is coupledto the handle.
