Abstract

Es handelt sich um einen Borstenstreifen für Bodendüsen von Staubsaugern, welcher in einem Haltestreifen Borsten befestigt hält und diese Borsten derart in ihrer Länge unterschiedlich ausgebildet sind, daß beim Einsetzen des Haltestreifens in ein Düsengehäuse im Bereich von Ecken oder Seitenteilen immer längere Borsten angeordnet sind, die gegenüber den anderen Borsten vorstehen.

It is a bristle strip for floor nozzles of vacuum cleaners, which holds bristles fastened in a holding strip and these bristles have different lengths in such a way that when the holding strip is inserted into a nozzle housing, longer and longer bristles are arranged in the region of corners or side parts protrude from the other bristles.

Description

Borstenstreifen für BodendüsenBristle strips for floor nozzles

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Borstenstreifen für Bodendüsen von Staubsaugern, welcher aus einem Haltestreifen und darin befestigten Borsten besteht, und der Haltestreifen im Düsengehäuse befestigt ist.The invention relates to a bristle strip for floor nozzles of vacuum cleaners, which consists of a holding strip and bristles fastened therein, and the holding strip is fastened in the nozzle housing.

Normale Bodendüsen für Staubsauger bestehen aus einem Kunststoffgehäuse mit einer Saugöffnung. Diese Saugöffnung wird mit einem Borstenstreifen umgeben, welcher meist aus einem Haltestreifen besteht, in welchem Borsten befestigt sind. Dieser Haltestreifen wird dann im Düsengehäuse so befestigt, daß er sich den jeweiligen Abmessungen und der Form anpaßt. Der Borstenstreifen ist erforderlich, um einerseits ein mechanisches Lösen von leichtem Schmutz zu ermöglichen und um andererseits das Düsengehäuse so gegen den Untergrund abzustützen, daß das Düsengehäuse nicht auf einer Hartbodenfläche kratzt und Spuren hinterläßt. Aus diesem Grunde sind die Borsten des Borstenkranzes sehr hart, um auch die auf das Düsengehäuse beim Saugen aufgebrachte Kraft abfangen zu können.Normal floor nozzles for vacuum cleaners consist of a plastic housing with a suction opening. This suction opening is surrounded by a bristle strip, which usually consists of a holding strip, in which bristles are attached. This retaining strip is then fastened in the nozzle housing in such a way that it adapts to the respective dimensions and shape. The bristle strip is necessary, on the one hand, to enable mechanical loosening of light dirt and, on the other hand, to support the nozzle housing against the substrate in such a way that the nozzle housing does not scratch on a hard floor surface and leaves traces. For this reason, the bristles of the bristle ring are very hard in order to be able to absorb the force exerted on the nozzle housing during suction.

Hier ist es nachteilig, daß mit solchen Bodendüsen Ränder und Kanten sowie Ecken nur schwerlich erreicht und vom Schmutz befreit werden können.Here it is disadvantageous that edges and edges and corners can only be reached with difficulty and freed from dirt with such floor nozzles.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, den Borstenstreifen so auszubilden, daß ein Reinigen auch an Kanten und in Ecken ermöglicht wird, ohne die Abstützfunktion zu beeinträchtigen.The object of the invention is now to design the bristle strip in such a way that cleaning is also possible on edges and in corners without impairing the supporting function.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Bei der Anordnung von längeren Borsten bzw. Borstenbüscheln ist es zusätzlich möglich, diese Borsten bzw. Borstenbüschel mit einer geringeren Steifigkeit als die übrigen Borsten zu versehen.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claim 1. If longer bristles or bristle tufts are arranged, it is additionally possible to provide these bristles or bristle tufts with a lower rigidity than the other bristles.

Damit hat die Erfindung zum Vorteil, daß mit der damit ausgerüsteten Bodendüse auch Kanten, Ränder und Ecken gut gesäubert werden können, ohne die Stützeigenschaften des gesamten Borstenstreifens zu beeinflussen.The invention thus has the advantage that edges, edges and corners can also be cleaned well with the floor nozzle equipped with it, without influencing the supporting properties of the entire bristle strip.

Nachstehend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung gezeichnet und beschrieben.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is drawn and described below.

Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 Eine Unteransicht einer Bodendüse mit Borstenstreifen,
  • Fig. 2 eine Frontalansicht der Fig. 1.
It shows:
  • 1 is a bottom view of a floor nozzle with bristle strips,
  • FIG. 2 is a frontal view of FIG. 1.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Bodendüse 1 von unten. Diese besteht aus einem Düsengehäuse 2, welches unten durch eine Bodenplatte 3 abgeschlossen ist. In der Bodenplatte 3 ist eine Öffnung 4 angeordnet, durch welche ein angeschlossener Staubsauger ( nicht dargestellt) den Schmutz absaugt. Im Düsengehäuse 2 ist zusätzlich ein Borstenstreifen 5 angeordnet, welcher allseitig die Bodenplatte 3 umgibt. Dieser Borstenstreifen 5 besteht aus einem Haltestreifen 6, welcher im Düsengehäuse 2 befestigt ist (siehe Fig. 2), und am Haltestreifen 6 befestigten Borsten oder Borstenbüscheln 7. In Arbeitsrichtung gesehen - diese ist durch einen Pfeil dargestellt - besitzen die Borsten oder Borstenbüschel 7 Durchbrechungen 8,9 an der Vorder- und Rückseite des Düsengehäuses 2. In den vorderen Eckbereichen des Düsengehäuses 2 ist in der gezeigten Ausführung der Haltestreifen 6 mit längeren, nach unten vorstehenden Borsten oder Borstenbüscheln 10 versehen. Diese sind wie eine Art Pinsel ausgeführt und übernehmen auch eine solche Funktion. D.h., bei Belastung des Düsengehäuses 2, dies ist beim Arbeiten immer der Fall, allein schon durch die aufgebrachte Kraft beim Schieben, werden die längeren Borsten 10, welche auch dadurch weicher sind, auf dem Untergrund 11 umgebogen in die Position 10'. Dadurch tragen sie nicht mehr auf ihren Spitzen als eine Art Abstützung, sondern sie gehen bis an eine Seitenwand 12 und benutzen hier als eine Art Pinsel den Kehreffekt, so daß Schmutz aus der Kante herausgekehrt wird.1 shows a floor nozzle 1 from below. This consists of a nozzle housing 2, which is closed at the bottom by a base plate 3. In the base plate 3 there is an opening 4 through which a connected vacuum cleaner (not shown) sucks up the dirt. A bristle strip 5 is additionally arranged in the nozzle housing 2 and surrounds the base plate 3 on all sides. This bristle strip 5 consists of a holding strip 6, which is fastened in the nozzle housing 2 (see FIG. 2), and bristles or bristle tufts 7 fastened to the holding strip 6. In the working direction - this is represented by an arrow - the bristles or bristle tufts 7 have openings 8.9 on the front and rear of the nozzle housing 2. In the front corner areas of the nozzle housing 2, the holding strip 6 is provided with longer, downwardly projecting bristles or tufts of bristles 10 in the embodiment shown. These are designed like a kind of brush and also take on such a function. That is, when the nozzle housing 2 is loaded, this is always the case when working, simply because of the force applied when pushing, the longer bristles 10, which are also softer as a result, become on the bottom reason 11 bent into position 10 '. As a result, they no longer carry on their tips as a kind of support, but go to a side wall 12 and use the sweeping effect here as a kind of brush, so that dirt is swept out of the edge.
