Abstract: A vacuum cleaner housing having a latching means for engagement with a portion of a disposable dust container when the latter is positioned within the vacuum cleaner so that the dust container is correctly latched.

The present arrangement is particularly suitable for tank-type cleaners in which the housing is opened and closed each time the full disposable dust container is removed.
