Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Griffstück zur Handhabung von Saugzuleitungen für Sauggeräte, wie Staubsauger, in Form von Saugrohren und Saugschläuchen, wobei ein Handgriff im Übergangsbereich zwischen Saugrohr und Saugschlauch angeordnet ist und das eintrittsseitige Saugrohr einen Handgriff trägt, der einen abgewinkelten Griffbereich aufweist.The invention relates to a handle for handling suction lines for suction devices, such as vacuum cleaners, in the form of suction pipes and suction hoses, a handle being arranged in the transition region between the suction pipe and suction hose and the inlet-side suction pipe carrying a handle which has an angled grip area.

Griffstücke dieser Art sind in vielfältigen Ausführungen bekannt. Hierbei wird das Problem nur bedingt gelöst, daß auch bei stärkeren Durchmessern der Saugrohre eine gute Handhabung des Saugrohres möglich ist. Ferner ist es bekannt, in diesen Griffstücken Funktion- und Schaltelemente anzuordnen.Grip pieces of this type are known in various designs. Here, the problem is only solved to a limited extent that good handling of the suction pipe is possible even with larger diameters of the suction pipes. It is also known to arrange functional and switching elements in these handles.

Es hat sich aber gezeigt, daß die bekannten Griffstücke keine ergonomische Handhabung beim Verdrehen des Saugrohres während des Saugvorganges, wie sie beim Bearbeiten von Einschnitten, begrenzten Eckzonen oder dergleichen, auftreten ermöglichen, wobei der Schlauch verdreht und angehoben wird und somit die Handhabung erschwert.It has been shown, however, that the known grips do not allow ergonomic handling when rotating the suction pipe during the suction process, as they occur when machining incisions, limited corner areas or the like, the hose being twisted and raised and thus making handling more difficult.

Eine gattungsbildende Ausbildung ist nach der EP-A-0 370 981 bekannt. Weiterhin ist nach der DE-U-89 12 576 eine andere Verbindung zwischen Saugschlauch und Saugrohr über eine durchgehende, gekrümmte Anordnung mit einer Handhabe bekannt. Dabei ist der Saugschlauch hinter der Handhabe drehbar verbunden.A generic education is known from EP-A-0 370 981. Furthermore, according to DE-U-89 12 576, there is another connection between the suction hose and the suction pipe via a continuous, curved one Arrangement known with a handle. The suction hose is rotatably connected behind the handle.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die bekannten Anordnungen der gattungsgemäßen Art zu verbessern und eine ergonomische Handhabung zu ermöglichen und auf einfache Weise ein Anheben des Saugschlauches bei einer Verdrehung des Saugrohres zu vermeiden.The object of the invention is to improve the known arrangements of the generic type and to enable ergonomic handling and to easily avoid lifting the suction hose when the suction pipe is twisted.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß der Griffbereich im Bereich zwischen 25 und 50 Grad in Richtung zur Saugrohrachse abgewinkelt ist sowie zwischen Saugrohr und Saugschlauch ein mit dem Saugrohr über ein in der Saugrohrachse liegendes Drehgelenk verbundener Rohrkrümmer zwischengeschaltet ist, der abstromseitig den Saugschlauch aufnimmt, um den Saugschlauch beim verdrehen des Rohrkrümmers in seiner Position zu halten, wobei der Rohrkrümmer einen Winkel etwa entsprechend der Abwinkelung des Griffbereiches des Handgriffes aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the grip area is angled in the range between 25 and 50 degrees in the direction of the intake manifold axis, and between the intake manifold and the intake hose a pipe elbow is connected between the intake manifold and a swivel joint located in the intake manifold axis and receives the intake hose on the downstream side in order to hold the suction hose in position when the pipe bend is rotated, the pipe bend having an angle approximately corresponding to the angle of the grip area of the handle.

Hierdurch wird eine gute Handhabung erreicht, wobei die Saugachse etwa in der Unterarmachse des Benutzers fortgesetzt wird und das Handgelenk relativ steif bleiben kann. Dabei wird auch eine biegungsarme Abführung des Saugschlauches zum Gerät gewährleistet und es wird ein Kraftaufwand für die Richtungsgebung vermieden. Beim Verdrehen wird der Saugschlauch nicht angehoben, da durch den drehbaren Rohrkrümmer seine Position beibehalten wird.Good handling is thereby achieved, the suction axis continuing approximately in the forearm axis of the user and the wrist being able to remain relatively stiff. This also ensures that the suction hose is routed to the device with little bending, and that no effort is required to give the direction. The suction hose is not raised when twisted, as the rotatable pipe bend maintains its position.

Eine einfache Ausbildung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß ein Zwischenelement als Verbindung zwischen Saugrohr und Rohrkrümmer angeordnet ist, das den Handgriff aufweist.A simple design is created in that an intermediate element is arranged as a connection between the suction pipe and the elbow, which has the handle.

Eine Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß zwischen den Abwinkelungen des Griffbereiches und des Rohrkrümmers eine Abweichung von nicht mehr als 15 Grad besteht.One embodiment consists in that there is a deviation of no more than 15 degrees between the bends of the grip area and the pipe bend.

Ferner werden gute Dreheigenschaften dadurch erreicht, daß der Verbindungsbereich zwischen Rohrkrümmer und Saugschlauch vor dem oder im Griffbereich ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, good turning properties are achieved in that the connection area between the pipe elbow and the suction hose is formed in front of or in the handle area.

Zur guten Einstellung ohne Verdrehung des Saugschlauches ist vorgesehen, daß der Anschluß für den Saugschlauch am Rohrkrümmer über ein Drehgelenk gebildet ist.For good adjustment without twisting the suction hose, it is provided that the connection for the Suction hose is formed on the pipe elbow via a swivel joint.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Zwischenelementes als Verbindung zwischen Saugrohr und Rohrkrümmer mit Saugschlauch einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung schematisch dargestellt.In the drawing, an embodiment of an intermediate element as a connection between the suction pipe and elbow with suction hose of an embodiment of the invention is shown schematically.

Das Zwischenelement 1 besitzt an seiner Lufteintrittsseite einen Stutzen 2 für die Aufnahme eines Saugrohres 3 und dient als Übergang zum Anschluß eines abstromseitig zugeordneten Saugschlauches 4. Das Zwischenelement 1 trägt ein Griffstück 5, das mit seinem Griffbereich 6 gegenüber der Saugrohrachse 7 um einen Winkel 8 abgewinkelt ist. Entsprechend dem Einsatzzweck ist dieser Winkel 8 zwischen 25 und 50 Grad bemessen.The intermediate element 1 has on its air inlet side a socket 2 for receiving a suction pipe 3 and serves as a transition for connecting a suction hose 4 assigned on the downstream side. The intermediate element 1 carries a handle 5 which, with its grip area 6, is angled at an angle 8 with respect to the suction pipe axis 7 is. Depending on the purpose, this angle 8 is between 25 and 50 degrees.

An der Luftaustrittsseite des Zwischenelementes 1 ist über ein Drehgelenk 9 ein Rohrkrümmer 10 eingesetzt der an der anderen Endseite den Saugschlauch 4 über ein Drehgelenk 11 aufnimmt. Der Rohrkrümmer 10 weicht mit seinem Winkel zweckmäßigerweise nicht mehr als 15 Grad von dem gegenüber dem abgewinkelten Griffbereich 6 des Griffstückes 5 ab.On the air outlet side of the intermediate element 1, a pipe bend 10 is inserted via a swivel joint 9 and receives the suction hose 4 via a swivel joint 11 on the other end side. The pipe bend 10 expediently deviates with its angle no more than 15 degrees from that relative to the angled grip area 6 of the grip 5.

Bei einer Verdrehung des aufgesteckten Saugrohres 3 während des Arbeitseinsatzes über den Griffbereich 6 des Griffstückes 5, ist einmal durch die Winkelanordnung gegenüber der Saugrohrachse 7 eine gute Handhabung möglich und zum anderen dreht sich der angeschlossene Saugschlauch 4 über den Rohrkrümmer und die Drehgelenke 9, 11 in eine widerstandsarme Position, so daß keine Anhebung und Verdrehung des Saugschlauches 4 auftritt.If the attached suction pipe 3 is rotated during use over the grip area 6 of the grip piece 5, good handling is possible on the one hand due to the angular arrangement relative to the suction pipe axis 7 and on the other hand the connected suction hose 4 rotates over the pipe elbow and the swivel joints 9, 11 in a low-resistance position, so that no lifting and rotation of the suction hose 4 occurs.

Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, ohne das Zwischenstück 1 die Anordnung mit Griffstück 5 und Rohrkrümmer 10 direkt am Saugrohr 3 drehbar anzubringen.Of course, it is also possible without the intermediate piece 1, the arrangement with handle 5 and Pipe elbow 10 directly attached to the intake manifold 3.
