Abstract
A vacuum cleaner having access panel selectively mounted thereto is shown. The access panel encloses a belt utilized to interconnect the agitation member and the drive shaft for the motor to rotate the agitation member. The access panel has a mounting flange provided on a portion of the edge of the panel which is slidably received in slots formed in the housing. The reception of the mounting flange in the slots in cooperation with a single mounting screw serves to secure the access panel to the housing. The belt can easily be accessed by removing the mounting screw and sliding the access panel laterally relative to the slots to remove the mounting flange from the slots.
