Description

La présente invention concerne des perfectionnements apportés aux boîtiers à raccord tournant pour suceur d'aspirateur.The present invention relates to improvements made to housings with a rotary coupling for a vacuum cleaner nozzle.

Un boîtier à raccord tournant pour suceur d'aspirateur comporte généralement un dessus et une paroi latérale dont la partie postérieure fait corps avec un manchon. Ce manchon débouchant à l'extérieur est destiné à recevoir une tubulure d'un raccord branché rigidement ou de façon articulée sur un manche tubulaire d'aspirateur. La tubulure du raccord est montée tournante autour d'un axe antéro-postérieur et immobilisée en translation dans le manchon.A rotary connector housing for a vacuum cleaner nozzle generally has a top and a side wall, the rear part of which forms a body. This sleeve opening to the outside is intended to receive a tubing of a connector rigidly connected or articulated on a tubular handle of a vacuum cleaner. The connection tubing is mounted to rotate about an anteroposterior axis and immobilized in translation in the sleeve.

Le dessus du boîtier fait corps avec un conduit interne sensiblement vertical, faisant communiquer la tubulure de raccordement précitée avec une fenêtre d'une semelle de glissement rapportée et fixée sous le boîtier, fenêtre qui débouche dans un canal longitudinal aspirant de la semelle.The top of the housing forms a body with a substantially vertical internal conduit, communicating the aforementioned connection tubing with a window of a slip sole fitted and fixed under the housing, window which opens into a longitudinal channel suction from the sole.

Le moulage laisse apparaître des marques dues aux retassures, marques qui compromettent l'esthétique.The molding reveals marks due to shrinkage, marks which compromise the aesthetics.

En outre, le montage tournant de la tubulure n'est pas fiable et se coince à l'usage par usure et encrassement.In addition, the rotating mounting of the tubing is not reliable and gets stuck in use by wear and fouling.

D'autres problèmes se posent, celui de l'amélioration de l'écoulement du flux gazeux et celui de l'étanchéité du montage à l'air et à l'eau.Other problems arise, that of improving the flow of the gas flow and that of the airtightness of the assembly with air and water.

En effet, lorsque le suceur est utilisé sur des sols mouillés, il "bave" au niveau du joint tournant de la tubulure ce qui, d'une part, est salissant, d'autre part, compromet l'efficacité de l'aspiration, enfin, nuit à l'image de qualité auprès de la clientèle, sachant que cette amélioration ne doit pas s'accompagner d'une difficulté de moulage.Indeed, when the nozzle is used on wet floors, it "drools" at the level of the rotating joint of the tubing which, on the one hand, is dirty, on the other hand, compromises the efficiency of the suction, finally, harms the image of quality with customers, knowing that this improvement should not be accompanied by a difficulty in molding.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients:
- en apportant les moyens nécessaires à assurer un meilleur écoulement du flux gazeux et à réduire les risques de dépôt des particules (poussières, fibres, cheveux...) dans le suceur et de fuite à l'extérieur, en même temps que ces moyens permettent de faciliter le moulage, d'accroître la cadence d'injection et donc de diminuer le prix de revient, d'éliminer les défauts apparents : retassures, point d'injection...
Dans ce but, la paroi postérieure du boîtier fait corps avec un manchon dans lequel est montée tournante et immobilisée en translation une tubulure de raccordement à un aspirateur, ce boîtier comportant un conduit interne sensiblement vertical qui débouche en haut dans le manchon et en bas dans une fenêtre d'une semelle normalement fixée sous ledit boîtier,
et, conformément à l'invention, le conduit présente un coude supérieur raccordé de moulage avec le manchon et faisant saillie dans une cuvette ménagée en creux dans le dessus du boîtier pour le passage de la partie du moule qui définit la forme extérieure dudit coude, lequel diminue les pertes de charge et améliore ainsi l'écoulement du flux gazeux,
Suivant une forme de réalisation particulièrement avantageuse, les parois postérieure et antérieure du conduit ainsi que les parois latérales de celui-ci sont sensiblement verticales sous le fond de la cuvette, tandis que dans la cuvette au-dessus de son fond, le conduit se raccorde au coude par sa paroi antérieure sensiblement verticale et par ses parois latérales convergentes, la paroi postérieure faisant corps avec le manchon.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks:
- by providing the necessary means to ensure a better flow of the gas flow and to reduce the risks of deposition of particles (dust, fibers, hair ...) in the nozzle and leakage outside, at the same time as these means allow easier molding, increase the rate injection and therefore reduce the cost price, eliminate apparent defects: shrinkage, injection point ...
For this purpose, the rear wall of the housing forms a body with a sleeve in which is rotatably mounted and immobilized in translation a connection tube to a vacuum cleaner, this housing comprising a substantially vertical internal duct which opens at the top in the sleeve and at the bottom in a window of a sole normally fixed under said housing,
and, in accordance with the invention, the conduit has an upper bend connected to the molding with the sleeve and projecting into a bowl formed hollow in the top of the housing for the passage of the part of the mold which defines the external shape of said bend, which reduces the pressure losses and thus improves the flow of the gas flow,
According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the posterior and anterior walls of the conduit as well as the lateral walls of the latter are substantially vertical under the bottom of the bowl, while in the bowl above its bottom, the conduit is connected at the elbow by its substantially vertical front wall and by its converging side walls, the rear wall being integral with the sleeve.

La cuvette est obturée par un couvercle clipsable prolongeant sensiblement le dessus du boîtier.The bowl is closed by a clip-on cover extending substantially the top of the housing.

Divers autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suit.Various other characteristics and advantages of the invention will also emerge from the detailed description which follows.

Une forme de réalisation de l'objet est représentée, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, sur le dessin annexé.An embodiment of the object is shown, by way of nonlimiting example, in the accompanying drawing.

Sur ce dessin :

  • la figure 1 est une coupe antéro-postérieure verticale d'un suceur conforme à l'invention, prise suivant la ligne I-I de la figure 2,
  • la figure 2 est une coupe transversale prise suivant la ligne II-II de la figure 1,
    Comme le montre le dessin, le suceur comporte un boîtier 1 en matière plastique moulée. Le boîtier présente un dessus 2 faisant corps :
  • avec une paroi périphérique 3 dont la partie postérieure 4 présente en saillie interne et externe un manchon tubulaire 5,
  • et avec un conduit vertical 6 qui débouche en haut dans le manchon 5 et en bas dans une fenêtre 7 d'un canal longitudinal d'aspiration 8 ménagé dans une semelle 9 fixée sur des chandelles 10 de ce boîtier.
On this drawing :
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical anteroposterior section of a nozzle according to the invention, taken along line II of FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 2 is a cross section taken along line II-II of FIG. 1,
    As the drawing shows, the nozzle has a housing 1 in molded plastic. The housing has a top 2 forming a body:
  • with a peripheral wall 3, the rear part 4 of which projects internally and externally from a tubular sleeve 5,
  • and with a vertical duct 6 which opens at the top into the sleeve 5 and at the bottom in a window 7 of a longitudinal suction channel 8 formed in a sole 9 fixed to candles 10 of this housing.

Une tubulure d'aspiration 11 est susceptible d'être raccordée par son extrémité coudée 12 à un manche d'aspirateur. Son extrémité libre 13 forme un embout tubulaire qui fait saillie sur un épaulement 14. L'embout 13 comporte des portées cylindriques 15 à 17 destinées à être emboîtées dans le manchon 5. Entre les portées 15 et 16 sont prévues des lèvres annulaires d'étanchéité 18 et une gorge d'immobilisation axiale 19 sépare les portées 16 et 17.A suction pipe 11 can be connected by its bent end 12 to a vacuum cleaner handle. Its free end 13 forms a tubular end piece which projects from a shoulder 14. The end piece 13 has cylindrical bearing surfaces 15 to 17 intended to be fitted into the sleeve 5. Between the bearing surfaces 15 and 16 are provided annular sealing lips 18 and an axial immobilization groove 19 separates the bearing surfaces 16 and 17.

Le conduit 6 présente à sa base une section rectangulaire raccordée au manchon 5 par une paroi postérieure verticale 20, par une paroi antérieure verticale 21 prolongée par un coude supérieur 22 (figure 1) et par des parois latérales verticales 23 prolongées par des parois convergentes 24 raccordées au coude 22 (figure 2).The conduit 6 has at its base a rectangular section connected to the sleeve 5 by a vertical rear wall 20, by a vertical front wall 21 extended by an upper bend 22 (Figure 1) and by vertical side walls 23 extended by converging walls 24 connected to elbow 22 (figure 2).

Le conduit 6 ainsi conformé relie la fenêtre 7 au manchon 5 avec une variation progressive de la section et une déviation guidée en courbe de la direction de l'écoulement. Ce conduit 6 fait corps avec le dessus 2 du boîtier par l'intermédiaire d'une cuvette parallélépipédique 25. Le fond 26 de la cuvette est solidaire du conduit 6, tandis que la paroi périphérique 27 de cette cuvette qui est écartée de ce conduit 6 est solidaire du dessus 2 du boîtier ainsi que de la moitié supérieure du manchon 5.The duct 6 thus shaped connects the window 7 to the sleeve 5 with a progressive variation of the section and a guided deviation in the curve of the direction of flow. This conduit 6 is integral with the top 2 of the housing via a parallelepipedal bowl 25. The bottom 26 of the bowl is integral with the conduit 6, while the peripheral wall 27 of this bowl which is spaced from this conduit 6 is secured to the top 2 of the housing as well as to the upper half of the sleeve 5.

La paroi périphérique 27 délimite dans le dessus 2 une ouverture 28 à travers laquelle peut passer une partie du moule, définissant la forme de la portion extérieure haute du manchon 5 et du conduit 6 ainsi que la forme intérieure de la cuvette 25. Il est prévu de fermer l'ouverture 28 au moyen d'un couvercle 29 se positionnant dans un embrèvement du dessus 2 et se fixant, de façon démontable, au moyen de languettes flexibles à dents 30 clipsées dans des lumières 31 de la cuvette 25.The peripheral wall 27 delimits in the top 2 an opening 28 through which a part of the mold can pass, defining the shape of the upper outer portion of the sleeve 5 and of the conduit 6 as well as the inner shape of the bowl 25. It provision is made to close the opening 28 by means of a cover 29 which is positioned in a recess in the top 2 and which can be fixed in a removable manner by means of flexible tongues with teeth 30 clipped into slots 31 in the bowl 25.

Le couvercle 29 fait corps avec une patte 32 délimitant un évidement semi-circulaire 33 dont le diamètre est sensiblement égal au diamètre du fond de la gorge 19 de l'embout 13 de la tubulure 11. Par ailleurs, une encoche 34 est ménagée dans le manchon 5 et délimitée par un bord postérieur pentu 36 qui diverge vers le haut.The cover 29 is integral with a lug 32 delimiting a semi-circular recess 33 whose diameter is substantially equal to the diameter of the bottom of the groove 19 of the end piece 13 of the tubing 11. Furthermore, a notch 34 is formed in the sleeve 5 and delimited by a sloping rear edge 36 which diverges upwards.

Lorsque l'embout 13 de la tubulure tournante 11 est emboîté dans le manchon 5 du boîtier et que son épaulement 14 bute contre l'extrémité extérieure libre de ce manchon 5, la patte 32 du couvercle 29 posé, pénètre dans la gorge 19 de l'embout 13 et immobilise, par butée contre le chant postérieur 37 de ladite gorge, en translation ledit embout sans s'opposer à sa rotation. Pour bien verrouiller cette immobilisation, la patte 32 fait corps avec des rampes inclinées 38 coopérant avec les bords postérieurs pentus 36 des encoches 34 du manchon 5. Avantageusement, les bords antérieurs 35 des encoches peuvent être alignés avec le chant antérieur 37 de la gorge 19 de l'embout 13 lorsque celui-ci est en place pour que la patte 32 et ses rampes 38 se coincent parfaitement dans lesdites encoches.When the end-piece 13 of the rotating pipe 11 is fitted into the sleeve 5 of the housing and its shoulder 14 abuts against the free external end of this sleeve 5, the tab 32 of the cover 29 placed, enters the groove 19 of the 'end piece 13 and immobilizes, by abutment against the rear edge 37 of said groove, in translation said end piece without opposing its rotation. To properly lock this immobilization, the tab 32 is integral with inclined ramps 38 cooperating with the sloping rear edges 36 of the notches 34 of the sleeve 5. Advantageously, the front edges 35 of the notches can be aligned with the front edge 37 of the groove 19 of the nozzle 13 when the latter is in place so that the lug 32 and its ramps 38 are perfectly wedged in said notches.

Bien entendu, pour assurer le montage tournant de la tubulure, il n'est nullement nécessaire de prévoir la cuvette 25 et un couvercle 29 aussi grand. En effet, la patte amovible 32 suffit. Mais dans ce cas, le haut du conduit 6 ne peut pas être coudé et s'étend jusqu'au-dessus 2 du boîtier.Of course, to ensure the rotary mounting of the tubing, there is no need to provide the bowl 25 and a cover 29 as large. Indeed, the removable tab 32 is sufficient. But in this case, the top of the conduit 6 cannot be bent and extends to the top 2 of the housing.
