Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger mit einer einteiligen Drucktaste gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a one-piece push button according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein solches Staubsauger ist durch die DE-OS 19 26 111 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Staubsauger besteht die Drucktaste aus einem elastischen Streifen, an dessen beiden Enden die Betätigungsstellen für den elektrischen Schalter und die Aufwickelsperre der Kabeltrommel vorgesehen sind. Um einen ausreichenden Betätigungsweg bei nicht zu starker Beanspruchung des elastischen Streifens sicherzustellen, muß der Streifen entsprechend lang gemessen werden, so daß die Drucktaste relativ viel Platz beansprucht.Such a vacuum cleaner is known from DE-OS 19 26 111. In this known vacuum cleaner, the push button consists of an elastic strip, at the two ends of which the actuation points for the electrical switch and the winding lock of the cable drum are provided. In order to ensure a sufficient actuation path when the elastic strip is not subjected to excessive stress, the strip must be measured accordingly long, so that the pushbutton takes up a relatively large amount of space.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Staubsauger mit einer einteiligen Drucktaste zu schaffen, bei dem die Drucktaste wesentlich weniger Platz beansprucht und keinen elastischen Verspannungen ausgesetzt ist.The invention has for its object to provide a vacuum cleaner with a one-piece push button, in which the push button takes up much less space and is not exposed to elastic tension.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt nach der Erfindung durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale. Die beschriebene Anordnung und Ausbildung der Drucktaste ermöglicht ein Kippen derselben um jede Längsseite, so daß die jeweils andere Längsseite um einen ausreichenden Betätigungsweg verstellt werden kann. Da die Drucktaste sich dabei jeweils frei um die jeweilige Kippachse drehen kann, treten keine elastischen Verspannungen im Material der Drucktaste auf. Durch die entsprechende Querverriegelung der Drucktaste wird sichergestellt, daß jeweils nur ein Betätigungsvorgang ausgelöst wird.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. The arrangement and design of the push button described allows the same to be tilted around each long side, so that the other long side can be adjusted by a sufficient actuation path. Since the push button can rotate freely about the respective tilt axis, there is no elastic tension in the material of the push button. The corresponding cross-locking of the push button ensures that only one actuation process is triggered at a time.

Vorteilhafte konstruktive Ausbildungen des Staubsaugers und der Drucktaste sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous structural designs of the vacuum cleaner and the push button are described in the subclaims.

Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Es zeigt:

  • FIG 1 den mit einer Drucktaste versehenen Gehäusebereich eines Staubsaugers in einer Draufsicht,
  • FIG 2 einen Schnitt entlang der Linie II-II in FIG 1, wobei sich die Drucktaste in der Ausgangsstellung befindet,
  • FIG 3 und 4 die Lage der Drucktaste in der einen bzw. der anderen Betätigungsstellung.
The invention is described in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows:
  • 1 shows the housing area of a vacuum cleaner provided with a push button in a top view,
  • 2 shows a section along the line II-II in FIG. 1, the pushbutton being in the starting position,
  • 3 and 4 show the position of the pushbutton in one or the other actuation position.

Mit 1 ist ein Staubsaugergehäuse bezeichnet, auf dessen Oberseite zum rückwärtigen Ende 2 hin eine Drucktaste 3 angeordnet ist. Dabei schließt die Drucktaste 3 mit ihrer einen zu den Kippachsen der Drucktaste 3 parallel verlaufenden Längsseite 4 bündig mit der Gehäusekante 2a am rückwärtigen Ende 2 des Staubsaugergehäuses 1 ab. An der Innenseite der Drucktaste 3 ist eine Abstützlasche 5 als Angriffsstelle für einen Federbügel 6 angeformt. Mit seinen beiden Enden 6a und 6b ist der Federbügel 6 an gehäusefesten Auflagen 7 derart gegenüber der Angriffsstelle der Abstützlasche 5 verspannt, daß er auf die Drucktaste 3 sowohl eine gegen die durch Pfeile 8 und 9 angedeutete, auf die beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Betätigungsstellen 10 und 11 der Drucktaste 3 ausübbare Betätigungskraft gerichtete Kraft als auch eine in Querrichtung wirkende Kraft ausübt. Bei dem dargstellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die quer wirkende Kraft nach links gerichtet. Die beiden Kraftkomponenten des Federbügels 6 sind als Pfeile 12 und 13 dargestellt.1 designates a vacuum cleaner housing, on the top of which a push button 3 is arranged toward the rear end 2. In this case, the pushbutton 3 closes with its one longitudinal side 4, which runs parallel to the tilting axes of the pushbutton 3, flush with the housing edge 2a at the rear end 2 of the vacuum cleaner housing 1. On the inside of the push button 3, a support tab 5 is formed as a point of attack for a spring clip 6. With its two ends 6a and 6b, the spring clip 6 is clamped on supports 7 fixed to the housing in relation to the point of attack of the support bracket 5 in such a way that it presses the pushbutton 3 both against the actuation points 10 and 11 indicated by arrows 8 and 9 and on the two opposing actuation points 10 and 11 the push button 3 exertable actuating force and a transversely acting force. In the illustrated embodiment, the transverse force is directed to the left. The two force components of the spring clip 6 are shown as arrows 12 and 13.

Gegen die in Querrichtung wirkende Kraftkomponente 13 ist die Drucktaste 3 mit ihrer anderen Längsseite 14 an einer Begrenzungskante 16 einer am Staubsaugergehäuse 1 zur Aufnahme der Drucktaste 3 vorgesehenen Aussparung 15 abgestützt. An dieser anderen Längsseite 14 ist ferner ein in Betätigungsrichtung weisendes Wandteil 17 angeformt. Sowohl an diesem Wandteil 17 als auch an der einen Längsseite 4 der Drucktaste 3 ist jeweils eine einen Anschlag bildende Leiste 18 bzw. 19 angeformt, die in Richtung der quer wirkenden Kraftkomponente 13 weist. Auf jeder der Längsseiten 4 und 14 untergreift die jeweilige Leiste 18 bzw. 19 einen gehäusefesten Gegenanschlag 20 bzw. 21, wobei der gehäusefeste Gegenanschlag 20 gesondert am Staubsaugergehäuse ausgebildet ist und als Gegenanschlag 21 die Unterseite der oberen Gehäusewand des Staubsaugergehäuses 1 dient.Against the force component 13 acting in the transverse direction, the pushbutton 3 is supported with its other longitudinal side 14 on a boundary edge 16 of a recess 15 provided on the vacuum cleaner housing 1 for receiving the pushbutton 3. At this Another long side 14 is formed on a wall part 17 pointing in the actuating direction. Both on this wall part 17 and on one longitudinal side 4 of the push button 3, a bar 18 or 19 forming a stop is formed, which points in the direction of the transverse force component 13. On each of the long sides 4 and 14, the respective strip 18 or 19 engages under a counter-stop 20 or 21 fixed to the housing, the counter-stop 20 fixed to the housing being formed separately on the vacuum cleaner housing and the underside of the upper housing wall of the vacuum cleaner housing 1 serving as counter-stop 21.

Im Bereich der anderen Längsseite 14 der Drucktaste 3 ist an einer Zwischenwand 22 des Staubsaugergehäuses 1 eine Rippe 23 angeformt. Die Rippe 23 ist so angeordnet, daß sie mit ihrem Querschnittsprofil neben der Innenseite 17a des Wandteiles 17 der Drucktaste 3 liegt. Die Oberkante 23a der Rippe 23 bildet ein erstes und die dem Wandteil 17 zugekehrte Rippenseite 23b ein zweites gehäusefestes Blockierglied. An der Drucktaste 3 sind mit diesen gehäusefesten Blockiergliedern entsprechend zusammenwirkende Blockierglieder vorgesehen. So bildet die Unterseite 19a der Leiste 19 ein erstes und die Innenseite 17a des Wandteiles 17 ein zweites Blockierglied der Drucktaste 3.In the area of the other long side 14 of the push button 3, a rib 23 is formed on an intermediate wall 22 of the vacuum cleaner housing 1. The rib 23 is arranged so that it lies with its cross-sectional profile next to the inside 17a of the wall part 17 of the push button 3. The upper edge 23a of the rib 23 forms a first blocking element and the rib side 23b facing the wall part 17 forms a second blocking member fixed to the housing. Correspondingly cooperating blocking elements are provided on the pushbutton 3 with these blocking elements fixed to the housing. Thus, the underside 19a of the strip 19 forms a first and the inside 17a of the wall part 17 a second blocking member of the push button 3.

Auf der Innenseite der einen Längsseite 4 ist ferner eine Schräge 24 angeformt, die mit einer an dem gehäusefesten Gegenanschlag 20 vorgesehenen Gegenschräge 25 zusammenwirkt.On the inside of the one long side 4, a bevel 24 is also formed, which cooperates with a counter bevel 25 provided on the counter stop 20 fixed to the housing.

Je nachdem, ob der Staubsauger ein- oder ausgeschaltet oder seine Kabelsperre gelöst werden soll, wird auf eine der Betätigungsstellen 10 bzw. 11 eine Druckkraft ausgeübt, wie dies durch die Pfeile 8 und 9 angedeutet ist. So wird durch Ausüben eines Druckes auf die Betätigungsstelle 10 die Drucktaste 3 auf dieser Seite gegen die Kraftkomponente 12 des Federbügels 6 nach unten gedrückt. Mit seiner Innenseite 17a gleitet das Wandteil 17 an der Rippenseite 23b vorbei. Dadurch wird die Drucktaste 3 gegen eine Querverschiebung verriegelt, so daß die Schräge 24 nicht über die Gegenschräge 25 gleiten kann. Die Drucktaste 3 ist somit auf dieser Betätigungsseite in ihrer Höhenlage verriegelt. Die Unterseite 19a der Leiste 19 trifft bei der weiteren Bewegung der Drucktaste 3 auf den Schalterstößel 26 eines im Stromkreis des Staubsaugers angeordneten Schalters 27 und drückt diesen nach unten, so daß ein Schaltvorgang ausgelöst wird. Der Staubsauger wird auf diese Weise ein- oder ausgeschaltet.Depending on whether the vacuum cleaner is to be switched on or off or its cable lock is to be released, a pressure force is exerted on one of the actuation points 10 or 11, as indicated by the arrows 8 and 9. Thus, by exerting pressure on the actuation point 10, the push button 3 on this side is pressed downward against the force component 12 of the spring clip 6. With its inside 17a, the wall part 17 slides past the rib side 23b. Characterized the push button 3 is locked against transverse displacement, so that the bevel 24 cannot slide over the counter bevel 25. The push button 3 is thus locked on this actuation side in its height. The underside 19a of the strip 19 strikes the switch plunger 26 of a switch 27 arranged in the circuit of the vacuum cleaner during the further movement of the pushbutton 3 and presses it downward, so that a switching operation is triggered. The vacuum cleaner is switched on or off in this way.

Soll dagegen die Kabelsperre gelöst werden, dann ist ein Druck auf die andere Betätigungsstelle 11 erforderlich. Durch einen solchen Druck (Pfeil 9) gleitet die Schräge 24 an der Gegenschräge 25 entlang. Hierdurch erfolgt eine Querverschiebung der Drucktaste 3, wodurch die Leiste 19 mit ihrer Unterseite 19a über die Oberkante 23a der Rippe 23 zu liegen kommt. Dadurch ist die Drucktaste 3 auf dieser anderen Längsseite 14 gegen eine nach unten gerichtete Bewegung blockiert. Die Drucktaste 3 kann damit nur noch um diese andere Längsseite 14 gekippt werden. Bei der nach unten gerichteten Kippbewegung trifft die Drucktaste 3 im Bereich der einen Längsseite 4 auf einen Stößel 28, über den die Kabelsperre gelöst wird.If, on the other hand, the cable lock is to be released, then pressure on the other actuation point 11 is required. Such a pressure (arrow 9) causes the bevel 24 to slide along the counter bevel 25. This results in a transverse displacement of the pushbutton 3, as a result of which the underside 19a of the bar 19 comes to lie over the upper edge 23a of the rib 23. Characterized the push button 3 is blocked on this other long side 14 against a downward movement. The push button 3 can thus only be tilted around this other long side 14. During the downward tilting movement, the push button 3 strikes a plunger 28 in the area of the one long side 4, via which the cable lock is released.

Nach Beendigung des Druckes auf eine der Betätigungsstellen 10 bzw. 11 wird die Drucktaste 3 durch den Federbügel 6 jeweils wieder in die in FIG 2 dargestellte Ausgangslage zurückgestellt, wobei die beiden als Anschläge dienenden Leisten 18 und 19 jeweils an dem entsprechenden gehäusefesten Gegenanschlag 20 bzw. 21 zur Anlage kommen.After the pressure on one of the actuation points 10 and 11 has ended, the pushbutton 3 is returned to the starting position shown in FIG. 2 by the spring clip 6, the two strips 18 and 19 serving as stops each being attached to the corresponding counter stop 20 or 21 come to the plant.
