Abstract
Robotic vacuum cleaner (1) including: a housing (100) defining a dust container reception compartment (108) that has a dust container reception opening (110) in an outer surface (102) of the housing; a dust container (200) configured to be removably receivable inside the compartment (108) via the dust opening, such that, in an operationally received condition, an outer push surface (208) of the dust container is flush with the outer surface of the housing, while in a removably received condition, the push surface (208) protrudes outwardly from said outer surface (102) of the housing; and a push-push mechanism (300) configured to maintain a received dust container in said operationally received condition when the push surface is pushed inwards into the housing and released a first time, and to force the dust container from said operationally received condition into the removably received condition when pushed inwards and released a second time.
