Abstract
To suspend a container (1, 5) of a central vacuum cleaner form a wall, use is made of a suspension device according to the invention which consists of a first bracket part (3) for attachment to a wall and a second bracket part (2) which is capable of engaging the first bracket part and is secured to the container. The first bracket part (3) is configured as a wedge-shaped housing having a rear wall (12) and a front opening (11) which are defined by longitudinal walls (8) and a transverse wall (7) connected at the narrow end of the housing with the longitudinal walls. In extension of the longitudinal walls, further, longitudinal walls (9) are provided perpendicularly to the longitudinal walls, said further longitudinal walls having their free edges provided with holding flanges (10) disposed perpendicularly to the rear wall (13). The second bracket part is configured in a similar manner, but without holding flanges. The suspension device according to the invention is unique in that the second bracket part may engage the first bracket part from both ends of the first bracket part, which is an advantage in connection with a central vacuum cleaner which is made with both small and large containers, as a small container has its motor placed on top of the container, while a large container has the motor placed below the container. Thus, it is possible to use the first bracket for both large and small containers, said first bracket being secured to the wall in one or the other direction which is determined by whether a large of a small container is used.
Description
The invention relates to a suspension arrangement for suspending a container of a central vacuum cleaner from a wall, said suspension arrangement being formed by a first bracket part for attachment in a wall, said first bracket part being adapted to engage a second bracket part on the container, said first bracket part having a rear wall with two longitudinal walls from the rear wall, said second bracket part having two longitudinal walls whose free edges are connected with a transverse wail which is disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal walls.
Central vacuum cleaners are usually madamn two versions, where the first version has a small container, said container facing upwards with its open-ing, while the second version has a large container, said container facing downwards with its opening. In both cases, the vacuum cleaner motor is secured to the edge which is disposed at the opening of the container.
Both types of holders have a suspension arrangement comprising a first bracket of the same type which is adapted to engage a second bracket secured to a wall.
Since the opening of the small container is to face oppositely to the opening of the large container, it is clear that the first bracket on the small container will face opposite the second bracket on the large container when the con-tainers are suspended from a wall.
A suspension arrangement of the type defined above is known from US
Patent No. 6 557 206. This known suspension arrangement has a bracket which is useful only with the upward orientation of the container, and thus not in connection with suspension arrangements where the same bracket is used for containers which face either upwards or downwards.
Central vacuum cleaners are usually madamn two versions, where the first version has a small container, said container facing upwards with its open-ing, while the second version has a large container, said container facing downwards with its opening. In both cases, the vacuum cleaner motor is secured to the edge which is disposed at the opening of the container.
Both types of holders have a suspension arrangement comprising a first bracket of the same type which is adapted to engage a second bracket secured to a wall.
Since the opening of the small container is to face oppositely to the opening of the large container, it is clear that the first bracket on the small container will face opposite the second bracket on the large container when the con-tainers are suspended from a wall.
A suspension arrangement of the type defined above is known from US
Patent No. 6 557 206. This known suspension arrangement has a bracket which is useful only with the upward orientation of the container, and thus not in connection with suspension arrangements where the same bracket is used for containers which face either upwards or downwards.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide a suspension arrangement for a container of a central vacuum cleaner, constructed such that the same brackets may be used, no matter whether a large or a small container is used for the central vacuum cleaner.
According to the invention, in a suspension arrangement of the type defined above, the first bracket part is configured as a wedge-shaped housing having a front opening, said front opening being defined by a frame which is formed by the two longitudinal walls from the rear side, which are terminated at their free edges by adjoining, longitudinal walls disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal walls, and that the second bracket part is configured as a wedge-shaped housing having a rear side and a front opening, said front opening being defined by a frame which is formed by the two longitudinal walls from the rear side, whose free edges are terminated by longitudinal walls which are disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal walls, said first bracket being adapted to be pushed down into the hollow in the second bracket, or said first bracket being adapted to be pushed externally onto the second bracket.
Hereby, the same bracket parts may be used on both types of containers, as the second bracket is just mounted on the wall in one or the other direction in dependence on whether a large or a small container is used.
In one embodiment, a transverse wall is connected with the upper ends of the longitudinal walls, and the free end of the transverse wall in the first bracket part is terminated by an edge, whereby a good engagement is achieved between the first and second brackets.
An expedient geometry of the bracket parts is that the first and second bracket parts are trapezoidal.

An expedient geometry of the bracket parts is that the first and second bracket parts are trapezoidal.
The rear wall of the first bracket may be provided with reinforcing ribs which define an engagement face longitudinally of the rear side extending from the edges of the rear side and centrally inwards toward the centre, so that the engagement face gets a surface which has a geometry corresponding to the width of the longitudinal walls and the width of the transverse wall. A strong bracket is then achieved with which the second bracket can get a good grip.
