Abstract

A filter cleaning device for a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner comprises a filter (100) moveably mounted within the dust collection canister (101). An annular collar (200) is provided at a region of the dust collection canister (101) such that the filter (100) is capable of being moved relative to the collar (200) via a plunger-like motion to and from the canister (101). Through this motion, the external surface of the filter (100) is wiped by the annular collar (200). Hair, fluff and debris matter collected at the filter's external surface is wiped by the collar (200) and removal is facilitated by incorporating a tapered region within the filter.
