ELECTRIC BLOWER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric blower that enables insulation paper, an upper insulation member and a lower insulation member to be securely held in a stator core without forming a mounting hole on the stator core.SOLUTION: This electric blower includes: a stator core 12 having a yoke portion 18 and magnetic pole portions 19; insulation paper 13 disposed along an inner face of the stator core 12; an upper insulation member 15 having a projection 26; and a lower insulation member 16 having a projection 30. A notch 21a opening on the upper face side of the stator core 12 and a notch 21b opening on the lower face side are formed in positions of the insulation paper 13 opposing to the yoke portion 18. A side face 26a of the projection 26 is pressed against the yoke portion 18 within the notch 21a, and a tip portion 26b of the projection 26 opposes to the insulation paper 13 from the side opposite to the yoke portion 18. A side face of the projection 30 is pressed against the yoke portion 18 within the notch 21b, and a tip portion of the projection 30 opposes to the insulation paper 13 from the side opposite to the yoke portion 18.
