Description

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger, insbesondere mit einem Handgriff versehener Bodenstaubsauger, mit einer am Staubsaugergehäuse vorgesehenen Haltevorrichtung für das Saugrohr.The object of the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, in particular a vacuum cleaner provided with a handle, with a holding device for the suction pipe provided on the vacuum cleaner housing.

Ein solcher Staubsauger ist aus dem DE-GM l7 35 26l bekannt.Such a vacuum cleaner is known from DE-GM l7 35 26l.

Bei dem bekannten Staubsauger sind für das im wesentlichen parallel zur Längsachse des Staubsaugergehäuses auf der Gehäuseoberseite zu befestigende Saugrohr im Bereich des Staubsaugerhandgriffs Haltevorrichtungen angeordnet, wobei diese Haltevorrichtungen als Klemmvorrichtungen in Form von U-förmig gebogenen, federnden Klammern ausgebildet sind.In the known vacuum cleaner, holding devices are arranged in the area of the vacuum cleaner handle for the suction tube to be fastened, which is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vacuum cleaner housing, these holding devices being designed as clamping devices in the form of U-shaped, elastic clips.

Derart auf der Gehäuseoberseite angeordnete Haltevor­richtungen verhindern bei aufgeklemmtem Saugrohr das Öffnen eines von oben her zu bedienenden Staubraumdeckels bzw. erschweren das Ablegen oder die Entnahme von Saugzu­behör, wie Fugendüse, Saugbürste oder dergl. in bzw. aus einem ebenfalls oberseitig im Staubsaugergehäuse unterge­brachten Zubehörfach. Darüber hinaus stellen die bekannten durch Federklammern verwirklichten Haltevorrichtungen bei abgenommenen Saugrohr eine bedeutende Gefahrenquelle dar.Holding devices arranged in this way on the top of the housing prevent the opening of a dust chamber lid to be operated from above when the suction tube is clamped on, or make it more difficult to place or remove suction accessories, such as crevice nozzles, suction brushes or the like, in or from an accessory compartment likewise located on the top side of the vacuum cleaner housing. In addition, the known holding devices realized by spring clips represent an important source of danger when the intake manifold is removed.

Die vorstehenden Bügel der Federklammern können beim Bewegen des Staubsaugers leicht mit den Möbelteilen in Berührung kommen und diese beschädigen. Weiterhin sind Verletzungen des Gerätebedieners durch die scharfen Kanten der Feder-­Klammern nicht auszuschließen. Die Unterbringung des Saug­rohres auf der Gehäuseoberseite des Staubsaugers verlangt ferner eine entsprechend große Abstellfläche für den Staubsauger in einem Schrank oder dergl.The protruding brackets of the spring clips can easily come into contact with the furniture parts and damage them when the vacuum cleaner is moved. Furthermore, injuries to the device operator from the sharp edges of the spring clips cannot be ruled out. The accommodation of the suction pipe on the top of the housing of the vacuum cleaner also requires a correspondingly large storage space for the vacuum cleaner in a cabinet or the like.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine für Staub­sauger geeignete Haltevorrichtung zu schaffen, welche eine raumsparende Unterbringung des Saugschlauches sowohl beim Transport, in den Betriebspausen sowie beim Abstellen des Staubsaugers in einem Schrank oder dergl. gestattet und die Handhabung des Gerätes im Hinblick auf Gerätebedienung und unterzubringendes Saug-Zubehör nicht beeinträchtigt.The invention has for its object to provide a suitable device for vacuum cleaners, which allows space-saving accommodation of the suction hose both during transport, during breaks and when parking the vacuum cleaner in a cabinet or the like. And the handling of the device in terms of device operation and suction accessories to be accommodated are not impaired.

Der in Fig. l dargestellte Staubsauger l, insbesondere ein mit rundum drehbeweglich ausgebildeten Laufrädern versehener Bodenstaubsauger, besitzt stirnseitig einen Handgriff 2, welcher den Transport des Gerätes erleichtert. Das Aus­führungsbeispiel zeigt den Staubsauger l in einer senk­rechten Lage, die sowohl die Transportstellung, die Arbeits­pausenstellung oder die Aufbewahrstellung des Staubsaugers sein kann. In dieser Stellung ist das mit 3 bezeichnete Saugrohr des Staubsaugers l, welches in an sich bekannter Weise mit einem Saugschlauch 4 sowie mit einer Bodendüse 5 verbunden ist, mittels einer Haltevorrichtung 6 am Staub­sauger l eingehängt. Die lösbare Halterung des Saugrohres 3 ist dabei seitlich am Staubsaugergehäuse la vorgesehen, wobei das Saugrohr 3 bei eingestecktem Halter seitlich am Staub­saugergehäuse la anliegt.The vacuum cleaner 1 shown in FIG. 1, in particular a floor vacuum cleaner provided with rotating rotatable wheels, has a handle 2 on the end which facilitates the transport of the device. The embodiment shows the vacuum cleaner l in a vertical position, which can be both the transport position, the work break position or the storage position of the vacuum cleaner. In this position, the suction tube 3 of the vacuum cleaner 1, which is connected in a manner known per se to a suction hose 4 and to a floor nozzle 5, is attached to the vacuum cleaner 1 by means of a holding device 6. The detachable mounting of the suction pipe 3 is provided on the side of the vacuum cleaner housing la, the suction pipe 3 lying laterally on the vacuum cleaner housing la when the holder is inserted.

Die Haltevorrichtung 6 ist zweiteilig ausgebildet und besteht aus einem auf das Saugrohr 3, welches z. B. ein Teleskoprohr sein kann, aufschiebbaren Saugrohrhalter 6a sowie aus einer Aufnahme 6b am Staubsaugergehäuse la für den Saugrohrhalter 6a. Der Saugrohrhalter 6a (siehe auch Fig. 2 bis 6) kann beliebig auf dem Saugrohr 3 verschoben und gedreht werden, sollte er sich beispielsweise in einer zum Einhängen ungünstigen Position befinden.
Der Saugrohrhalter 6a ist durch Reibschluß auf dem Saug­rohr 3 gehalten und besteht vorzugsweise aus einem zäh­elastischen Kunststoff. Der Werkstoff für die Aufnahme 6b (Fig. 7) ist ebenfalls aus Kunststoff.The holding device 6 is formed in two parts and consists of a on the suction pipe 3, which, for. B. can be a telescopic tube, slide-on suction tube holder 6a and from a receptacle 6b on the vacuum cleaner housing la for the suction tube holder 6a. The suction pipe holder 6a (see also Fig. 2 to 6) can be moved and rotated as desired on the intake manifold 3, should it be in an unfavorable position for hanging.
The suction pipe holder 6a is held on the suction pipe 3 by friction and preferably consists of a tough elastic plastic. The material for the receptacle 6b (Fig. 7) is also made of plastic.

Die Aufnahme 6b für den Saugrohrhalter 6a ist in der Griff­mulde 7 für den Handgriff 2 des Staubsaugers l befestigt. Dabei umfaßt die Aufnahme 6b den Handgriff 2 gabelförmig und besitzt oberseitig Einstecköffnungen 8 (Fig. 7) zum Einklinken des Saugrohrhalters 6a. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, die Aufnahme 6b in dem Bereich des Übergangs des Handgriffs 2 in das Staubsaugergehäuse vorzusehen, so daß der Saugrohrhalter 6a in seiner Länge klein gehalten werden kann.The receptacle 6b for the suction tube holder 6a is fastened in the recessed grip 7 for the handle 2 of the vacuum cleaner 1. In this case, the receptacle 6b comprises the handle 2 in a fork shape and has insertion openings 8 (FIG. 7) on the upper side for latching the suction tube holder 6a. It is particularly advantageous to provide the receptacle 6b in the region of the transition of the handle 2 into the vacuum cleaner housing, so that the length of the suction tube holder 6a can be kept small.

Der mit der Aufnahme 6b am Staubsaugergehäuse la betriebs­mäßig lösbar verbindbare Saugrohrhalter 6a besteht aus einem Klemm- und Befestigungsteil 9, an welches sich ein Gelenkteil l0 anschließt. Die Verbindung des Saugrohr­halters 6a mit dem Saugrohr 3 erfolgt dabei über das Gelenkteil l0. Die Ausbildung des Saugrohrhalters 6a sowie dessen Anordnung auf dem Saugrohr 3 ist dabei so getroffen, daß das Klemm- und Befestigungsteil 9 aus einer der Saugrohrachse parallel verlaufenden Ruhelage (Fig. 3) heraus quer zur Längsachse des Saugrohres 3 ausklappbar (Fig. 2) mit dem Gelenkteil l0 verbunden ist. Vorteil­hafterweise ist das Klemm- und Befestigungsteil 9 des Saugrohrhalters 6a mit dem Gelenkteil l0 einstückig ausgebildet.The suction pipe holder 6a, which can be releasably connected to the receptacle 6b on the vacuum cleaner housing la, consists of a clamping and fastening part 9, to which a joint part l0 is connected. The connection of the intake manifold holder 6a with the intake manifold 3 takes place via the joint part 10. The design of the intake manifold holder 6a and its arrangement on the intake manifold 3 is such that the clamping and fastening part 9 can be folded out transversely to the longitudinal axis of the intake manifold 3 from a rest position running parallel to the intake manifold axis (FIG. 3) (FIG. 2) the joint part l0 is connected. The clamping and fastening part 9 of the intake manifold holder 6a is advantageously formed in one piece with the joint part 10.

Zur Erzielung der Schwenkbewegungen des Saugrohrhalters 6a auf dem Saugrohr 3 besteht das Klemm- und Befestigungsteil 9 des Saugrohrhalters 6a aus einer dem Rohrdurchmesser des Saugrohres 3 angepaßten halbschalenförmig ausgebildeten Saugrohr-Klemmhülse 9a mit einendseitig angeformten und quer zur Längsachse der Klemmhülse verlaufenden Befesti­gungsstegen ll zur Verbindung des Saugrohrhalters 6a mit der Aufnahme 6b am Staubsaugergehäuse la.To achieve the swiveling movements of the intake manifold holder 6a on the intake manifold 3, the clamping and fastening part 9 of the intake manifold holder 6a consists of a half-shell-shaped intake manifold clamping sleeve 9a adapted to the tube diameter of the intake manifold 3 with fastening webs 11 formed on one end and extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the clamping sleeve for connecting the Suction tube holder 6a with the receptacle 6b on the vacuum cleaner housing la.

Das andere Ende des Klemm- und Befestigungsteils 9 läuft (Fig. 4) in eine das Gelenkteil l0 tragende Saugrohr-Steck­hülse l0a aus. Die Saugrohr-Steckhülse bildet selbst das Gelenk und besitzt zwei Durchstecköffnungen l2, l3 (Fig. 4 bis 6) für das Saugrohr 3. Dabei verläuft die eine Durch­stecköffnung l2 in Verlängerung der Längsachse des Klemm- und Befestigungsteils 9 und die zweite Durchstecköffnung l3 trifft senkrecht auf die erste Durchstecköffnung l2. Beiden Öffnungen ist ein gemeinsamer Durchbruch l4 im Gelenkteil l0 des Saugrohrhalters 6a zugeordnet, welcher einerseits das Schwenken des Saugrohrhalters 6a ermöglicht und andererseits die Schwenkbewegungen begrenzt. Der gemein­same Durchbruch l4 besitzt angeformte Rastnocken l5, um den Saugrohrhalter 6a in der jeweils ausgeschwenkten Lage festzuhalten, in welcher er entweder gemäß Fig. 3 an das Saugrohr 3 geklappt oder gemäß Fig. 2 in die zum Einhängen in die Aufnahme 6b herausgeschwenkte Stellung gebracht ist. Bei eingehängtem Saugrohr 3 stecken die Befestigungsstege ll am Saugrohrhalter 6a formschlüssig in den zugeordneten Ein­stecköffnungen 8 der Aufnahme 6b der Haltevorrichtung (Fig. 7). Vorzugsweise ist der Saugrohrhalter 6a bzw. dessen Klemm- und Befestigungsteil 9 traggriffähnlich gestaltet, so daß das Saugrohr 3 mit allem angeschlossenen Zubehör, wie Boden­düse 5 und Saugschlauch bei ausgeklapptem Saugrohrhalter 6a bequem getragen werden kann. Auch ist es u. U. vorteil­haft, die Befestigungsstege ll federelastisch auszubilden, so daß das eingehängte Saugrohr 3 bei zu starkem seitlichen Druck oder Stoß selbst aus der Aufnahme 6b springen kann. Hierdurch ist eine Beschädigung der Haltevorrichtung 6 ausge­schaltet.The other end of the clamping and fastening part 9 runs (FIG. 4) into a suction tube plug-in sleeve 10a carrying the joint part 10. The suction pipe plug-in sleeve itself forms the joint and has two push-through openings l2, l3 (FIGS. 4 to 6) for the suction pipe 3. The one push-through opening l2 extends in the extension of the longitudinal axis of the clamping and fastening part 9 and the second push-through opening l3 meets perpendicularly to the first push-through opening l2. Both openings have a common opening l4 in the joint part l0 of the suction tube holder 6a, which on the one hand enables the suction tube holder 6a to be pivoted and on the other hand limits the pivoting movements. The common opening l4 has integrally formed locking cams l5 in order to hold the suction tube holder 6a in the respectively pivoted-out position, in which it is either folded according to FIG. 3 to the suction tube 3 or, according to FIG . When the suction pipe 3 is attached, the fastening webs 11 on the suction pipe holder 6a are positively inserted into the associated insertion openings 8 of the receptacle 6b of the holding device (FIG. 7). Preferably, the suction pipe holder 6a or its clamping and fastening part 9 is designed like a carrying handle, so that the suction pipe 3 can be carried comfortably with all connected accessories, such as floor nozzle 5 and suction hose when the suction pipe holder 6a is unfolded. It is also u. U. advantageous to make the fastening webs ll resilient, so that the attached suction tube 3 can jump out of the receptacle 6b if there is too much lateral pressure or impact. Damage to the holding device 6 is hereby eliminated.
