Abstract

The subject of the invention is a vacuum cleaner making it possible to carry out this household task without causing backache. The suction is performed, on the one hand, by virtue of a horizontal telescopic tube which can be retracted into a casing 2, and on the other hand by virtue of a vertical tube 3 on which the user can lean as if using a walking-stick. This leaning makes it possible to reduce the strain exerted on the lumbar discs.

Description

D'une manière générale, passer l'aspirateur est, non seulement une tache désagréable, mais aussi une tâche gêné- ratrice de lombalgies chez les utilisateurt. En outre, certaines personnes ayant un passé de machiglgies voient leurs douleurs réveillées lors de cet acte ménager. Si cela pose des problèmes pour les, malatresses de maison, le problème devient plus aigu Si on aborde la médecine du travail du travail combien d'employés de maison ou d' entreprises de nettoyage industriel souffrent du dos ? Combien sont contraints de s'arrêter de travailler ou de changer de profession ? La lombalgie est un fléau social et coûte très cher à la société.La présente invention a pour but de réduire le risque de lombalgies chez les personnes utilisant régulièrement un aspirateur. Generally speaking, vacuuming is not only an unpleasant task, but also a troublesome task for users with low back pain. In addition, some people with a past of machiglgies see their pains awakened during this household act. If this poses problems for the clumsy house, the problem becomes more acute If we approach occupational health medicine how many domestic workers or industrial cleaning companies suffer from the back? How many are forced to stop working or change professions? Low back pain is a social scourge and costs society dearly.The present invention aims to reduce the risk of low back pain in people who regularly use a vacuum cleaner.

Le fait d' avoir le tronc penché en avant lors du mouvement de passer 17aspirateur augmente de 300 , la pression intra-discale en obligeant les muscles paravertébraux à se contracter exagérément pour lutter contre ce déséquilibre, d'ou le déclanchement de lombalgies ou de lumbagos. L'invention permet de passer l'aspirateur avec un appui rerme et stable sur le sol grâce à un tube rigide vertical, tel une canne et non pas avec un tube rigide oblique comme dans tous les autres aspirateurs. Ainsi les muscles para-vertébraux se détendent et diminuent la contrainte intra-discale. The fact of having the trunk leaning forward during the movement of the vacuum cleaner increases by 300, the intra-disc pressure by forcing the paravertebral muscles to contract exaggeratedly to fight against this imbalance, hence the triggering of low back pain or low back pain . The invention allows vacuuming with a firm and stable support on the floor thanks to a rigid vertical tube, such as a cane and not with a rigid oblique tube as in all other vacuum cleaners. Thus the para-vertebral muscles relax and reduce the intra-disc stress.

L'objet de l'invention repose sur deux idées maitresses l'appui se fait grâce à un tube vertical rigide, l'aspiration se fait gracie à un tube rigide horizontal. The object of the invention is based on two main ideas, the support is done by a rigid vertical tube, the suction is done thanks to a horizontal rigid tube.

La présente invention comporte un tube vertical rigide (1) sur lequel s'appuie l'utilisateur et qui permet de diriger l'appareil. Le tube vertical est fixé au boitier (3) et est incliné vers l'arrière de 15 P. La poignée (2) forme un angle droit par rapport au tube vertical. Ces differentes angulations permettent d'avoir bien en main l'appareil et de bien le manoeuvrer. The present invention comprises a rigid vertical tube (1) on which the user rests and which makes it possible to steer the device. The vertical tube is fixed to the housing (3) and is tilted backwards by 15 P. The handle (2) forms a right angle to the vertical tube. These different angulations allow to have a good grip on the device and to maneuver it well.

Le tube horizontal (4) comporte trois parties : un tube de 25 cm de long, lixé sur le boitier (4a) un autre tube~(;b) de meme dimension mais d'un diamètre legèrement intérieur de fanon à pouvoir coulisser dans le tube (4a). De pl=, l'ensemble des tubes (a + b) peut rentrer dans le boitier pour faciliter le rangement. la palette d'aspiration (c) est tixee à 11 extrémité du tube (b). l'ensemble du tube (4) est donc télescopique et escamotable. Le tube t4) est articule sur le boitier et peut décrire des mouvements de haut en bas. Ceci est rait pour assurer une stricte application de la palette au sol si celui-ci présente des irrégularites.De plus, un ressort (5) situé dans le boitier maintient le tube (4) plaqué au sol pour assurer une bonne aspiration. The horizontal tube (4) has three parts: a 25 cm long tube, attached to the housing (4a) another tube ~ (; b) of the same dimension but with a slightly inside diameter of baleen to be able to slide in the tube (4a). From pl =, all the tubes (a + b) can enter the case to facilitate storage. the suction paddle (c) is fixed to the end of the tube (b). the entire tube (4) is therefore telescopic and retractable. The tube t4) is articulated on the case and can describe movements from top to bottom. This is done to ensure a strict application of the pallet to the ground if it has irregularities. In addition, a spring (5) located in the housing keeps the tube (4) pressed to the ground to ensure good suction.

Les tubes 1 et 4 sont relies dans le boitier par un tube qui doit etre flexible du fait de l'articulation du tube (4) et du fait que ce tube (4) se replie dans le boiter. The tubes 1 and 4 are connected in the housing by a tube which must be flexible due to the articulation of the tube (4) and the fact that this tube (4) folds back into the housing.

Le boîtier mesure 30 cm sur 20 cm. Il est monté sur 3 roulettes qui permettent au boitier d'aller facilement dans tous les sens. Compte-tenu que le tube télescopique déplié mesure 50 cm (4a + 4b) l'invention peut aspirer sous touas les meubles. The case measures 30 cm by 20 cm. It is mounted on 3 casters which allow the box to go easily in all directions. Given that the unfolded telescopic tube measures 50 cm (4a + 4b), the invention can vacuum furniture under all conditions.

Dans le boitier se trouvent le moteur d'aspiration et le sac à poussières. De même sur le boitier se trouvent la commande à pied flmarche#arreAtft et la commande d'enroulement de la réserve de fil électrique d'alimentation. In the case are the suction motor and the dust bag. Similarly on the box are the foot switch flmarche # arreAtft and the winding control of the supply of electric supply wire.

Pour les travaux aériens, c'est-à-dire le nettoyage des tentures, des rideaux ou bien le dépoussiérage des escaliers, il est possible de remplacer le tube 4 par un tube flexible complété par la palette d'aspiration. For aerial work, that is to say the cleaning of drapes, curtains or the dusting of stairs, it is possible to replace the tube 4 by a flexible tube supplemented by the suction palette.

Pour insister sur une tache, il existe dans la poignée un variateur électronique donnant momentanément une plus grande puissance d'aspiration à l'appareil. To insist on a stain, there is in the handle an electronic variator temporarily giving greater suction power to the device.

L'invention doit pouvoir intéresser les fabricants d'accessoires d'aspirateur ou même directement les fabricants d'aspirateurs. The invention must be able to interest the manufacturers of vacuum cleaner accessories or even directly the manufacturers of vacuum cleaners.
