A suction cleaner dust container 13 is withdrawn outwardly of the cleaner housing T on opening a closure member C carrying an inwardly extending arm 28 engaging the container 13. A pair of such arms 28 are in snap engagement with the vertical edges of a stiff apertured dust container end plate 12 and on opening the closure C, which is pivoted to the housing T by a parallel linkage 14, 15 so as to remain substantially parallel to the plane of the cleaner opening through which the container is inserted and withdrawn, the arms 28 slide from the edges of the plate 12. The closure C is held against a biasing spring by a latch engaging the link 15 and operated by a rod 26. A blowing hose may be connected at the exhaust end of the cleaner.
