Abstract

A duct filter bag (1) for a vacuum cleaner having a holding plate (2, 15) which has a tightly closed opening (4) for a pipe connection of a vacuum cleaner, the opening being adapted to be closed from the outside by a separate closure flap (5) which has an insertion region (8, 9, 11). In order to make the dust filter bag (1) more favorable in use, the closure flap (5) is hinged to the holding plate (2) laterally of its region of swing (V).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Staubfilterbeutel für einen Staubsauger, mit einer Halteplatte, welche eine dichtungsverschlossene Öffnung für einen Rohrstutzen des Ansaugteils eines Staubsaugers aufweist, wobei die Öffnung von außen mit einer gesonderten Verschlußlasche, die einen Einsteckbereich aufweist, verschließbar ist.The invention relates to a dust filter bag for a vacuum cleaner, with a holding plate which has a seal-closed opening for a pipe socket of the suction part of a vacuum cleaner, the opening being closable from the outside with a separate closure flap which has an insertion area.

Derartige Staubfilterbeutel sind bereits in verschiedenen Ausgestaltungen bekanntgeworden. Hierzu wird beispielsweise auf das deutsche Gebrauchsmuster 78 32 780 hingewiesen. Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 23 56 732 ist es darüber hinaus bekannt, die Halteplatte mit einem Griff zu versehen, der vorrangig dazu gedacht ist, eine Montageerleichterung zu erbringen beim Einsetzen des Staubfilterbeutels in einen Staubsauger. Schließlich ist noch auf das deutsche Gebrauchsmuster 90 01 528 hinzuweisen, aus dem bekannt ist, eine gesonderte äußere Einstecklasche auszubilden, die zum Verschluß der Öffnung verschwenkbar ist und in die Öffnung einsteckbar ist.Dust filter bags of this type have already become known in various configurations. For example, reference is made to the German utility model 78 32 780. From German Offenlegungsschrift 23 56 732 it is also known to provide the holding plate with a handle which is primarily intended to make installation easier when the dust filter bag is inserted into a vacuum cleaner. Finally, reference should also be made to German utility model 90 01 528, from which it is known to form a separate outer insertion flap which can be pivoted to close the opening and can be inserted into the opening.

Bei der Handhabung eines solchen Verschlusses wird dieser aber noch nicht immer als zufriedenstellend empfunden. Auch besteht ein Bedürfnis, mit dem Staubsaugerbeutel nach dessen Entnahme aus dem Staubsauger, insbesondere in stark gefülltem Zustand, besser umgehen zu können.When handling such a closure, however, it is not always perceived as satisfactory. There is also a need to be able to handle the vacuum cleaner bag better after it has been removed from the vacuum cleaner, in particular in a strongly filled state.

Ausgehend von dem vorbeschriebenen Stand der Technik stellt sich der Erfindung die Aufgabe, einen Staubfilterbeutel anzugeben, der gebrauchsgünstiger ausgestaltet ist.Starting from the above-described prior art, the object of the invention is to specify a dust filter bag which is of more convenient design.

Diese Aufgabe ist zunächst und im wesentlichen bei der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung gelöst. Hierbei ist darauf abgestellt, daß die Verschlußlasche seitlich zu ihrem Verschwenkbereich, d.h. des Verschwenkbereiches des eigentlichen Einsteckbereiches der Verschlußlasche, an der Halteplatte angelenkt ist. Diese Maßnahme eröffnet eine wesentlich größere Freiheit in der Gestaltung der Verschlußlasche. Der Einsteckbereich kann in der Verschwenkrichtung an zwei gegenüberliegenden Abschnitten Einstecklaschen ausbilden, welche den Öffnungsrand der Öffnung im Verschlußzustand untergreifen können. Hiermit ist eine handhabungsgünstige formschlüssige Befestigungsmöglichkeit der Verschlußlasche in der Öffnung gegeben. Soweit nur ein Steg beispielsweise ausgebildet ist, an welchem die Verschlußtasche seitlich zu ihrem Verschwenkbereich an der Halteplatte angelenkt ist, ist sogar noch eine Stecklasche gegenüberliegend zu dem Ansetzbereich des Steges an der Verschlußlasche ausbildbar. In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß die Verschlußlasche über zwei Stege an der Halteplatte angelenkt ist. Diese Stege können jeweils kreisbogenabschnittsförmig ausgebildet sein. Sie können darüber hinaus und bevorzugt symmetrisch zueinander ausgestaltet sein. Weiter bevorzugt derart, daß eine Symmetrieachse mittig durch die Verschlußlasche sich erstreckt. Weiter bevorzugt ist, daß eine Einstecklasche beidseitig des Steges/der Stege sich erstreckend an der Verschlußlasche jeweils ausgebildet ist. Hierbei ist weiter bevorzugt, daß die eine Einstecklasche, die sich außerhalb des Kreisbogens der Stege befindet, größer ausgebildet ist als die Einstecklasche, die sich innerhalb des Kreisbogens der Stege erstreckt. Die Einstecklaschen bestehen bevorzugt jeweils aus einem kreisförmigen Bereich, welche Bereiche jedoch über einen im Grundriß rechteckigen Abschnitt voneinander beabstandet sind, bevorzugt wiederum derart, daß die zuvor beschriebene insgesamt größere Einstecklasche (in Zusammenschau mit dem erwähnten rechteckigen Abschnitt) sich einseitig ergibt. In weiterer Ausgestaltung schlägt die Erfindung auch vor, daß die Verschlußlasche über einen Abreißsteg mit einer Handhabe verbunden ist. Im Auslieferungszustand ist die Handhabe hierüber fest mit der Verschlußlasche verbunden. Beim Einsetzen des Staubfilterbeutels in einen Staubsauger ergibt sich eine günstige Handhabung hierdurch, indem die Verschlußlasche in einfacher Weise über die -größere, d.h. sich weiter nach außen erstreckende- Handhabe festgehalten werden kann. Dies auch dadurch, daß die Handhabe größer ausgestaltet ist als die Stege der Verschlußlasche. Geometrisch ist dies dadurch gegeben, daß die Handhabe sich außerhalb des Kreisbogens der Stege erstreckt. Weiter kann die Handhabe auch bevorzugt zunächst werkseitig mittels einer Klebestelle oder dergleichen an der Halteplatte gleichsam angeheftet sein. Hierdurch ist es bei einem Einsetzen des Staubfilterbeutels in keiner Weise erforderlich, die Handhabe zu berücksichtigen oder gesondert zu manipulieren. Zum Verschluß des Staubfilterbeutels bzw. der Öffnung des Staubfilterbeutels von außen, nach einem Herausnehmen des Staubfilterbeutels aus dem Staubsauger, kann die Verschlußlasche mit der relativ großen Handhabe einfach in ihre Verschlußstellung geschwenkt werden. Durch Eindrücken der Verschlußlasche in die Öffnung, damit die Einsteckbereiche die Öffnung untergreifen, kann dann durch einfachen Druck auf die Verschlußlasche eine Trennung des Abreißsteges zu der Handhabe erreicht werden. Die bevorzugt bügelartig ausgebildete Handhabe kann sodann wieder zurückschwenken bzw. einfach hochgeschwenkt werden und als Tragebügel für den so verschlossenen Staubfilterbeutel dienen. Hierbei hat sich auch als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt, daß die Handhabe und der Steg/die Stege der Verschlußlasche um etwa dieselbe Schwenkachse verschwenkbar sind.This object is first and essentially achieved in the invention specified in claim 1. In this case, it is ensured that the closure flap is articulated on the holding plate laterally to its pivoting region, ie the pivoting region of the actual insertion region of the closure flap. This measure opens up a much greater freedom in the design of the locking tab. In the pivoting direction, the insertion region can form insertion tabs on two opposite sections, which can engage under the opening edge of the opening in the closed state. This provides an easy-to-handle, form-fitting fastening option for the closure tab in the opening. If only one web is formed, for example, on which the closure pocket is articulated laterally to its pivoting area on the holding plate, even a plug-in tab opposite to the attachment area of the web can be formed on the closure tab. In a further embodiment it is provided that the closure flap is articulated on the holding plate via two webs. These webs can each be designed in the form of sections of a circular arc. In addition, they can preferably be configured symmetrically to one another. It is further preferred such that an axis of symmetry extends centrally through the locking tab. It is further preferred that an insertion tab is formed on both sides of the web (s) extending on the closure tab. It is further preferred that the one insertion tab, which is located outside the arc of the webs, is made larger than the insertion tab, which extends within the arc of the webs. The insertion tabs preferably each consist of a circular area, which areas, however, are spaced apart from one another over a section which is rectangular in plan, preferably again in such a way that the overall larger insertion tab described above (in conjunction with the mentioned rectangular section) is one-sided. In a further embodiment, the invention also proposes that the locking tab is connected to a handle via a tear-off web. In the delivery state, the handle is firmly connected to the locking tab. When the dust filter bag is inserted into a vacuum cleaner, this results in favorable handling, in that the closure flap can be held in a simple manner by means of the larger, ie, handle that extends further outwards. This is also due to the fact that the handle is made larger than the webs of the locking tab. This is geometrically given by the fact that the handle extends outside the circular arc of the webs. Furthermore, the handle can also preferably be attached to the holding plate at the factory by means of an adhesive point or the like. As a result, when the dust filter bag is inserted, it is in no way necessary to take the handle into account or to manipulate it separately. To close the dust filter bag or the opening of the dust filter bag from the outside, after removing the dust filter bag from the vacuum cleaner, the sealing tab can be simply pivoted into its closed position with the relatively large handle. By pushing the locking tab into the opening so that the insertion areas reach under the opening, a separation of the tear-off web from the handle can then be achieved by simply pressing the locking tab. The handle, which is preferably designed in the form of a bow, can then be swiveled back again or simply pivoted upward and serve as a carrying handle for the dust filter bag thus sealed. It has also been found to be particularly advantageous that the handle and the Web / the webs of the locking tab are pivotable about the same pivot axis.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung des weiteren anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung, die jedoch lediglich ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellt, erläutert. Hierbei zeigt:

The invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing, which, however, only represents an exemplary embodiment. Here shows:

Dargestellt und beschrieben ist -zunächst mit Bezug zu Figur 1- ein Staubfilterbeutel 1 mit einer Deckplatte 2, wie er in einem insbesondere Elektrostaubsauger Verwendung finden kann. Während der eigentliche Staubfilterbeutel 3 aus einem flexiblen Zellulosematerial besteht, ist die Deckplatte 2 gewöhnlich aus einem stabilen Pappmaterial etwa gebildet. In der Deckplatte 2 ist eine Öffnung 4 ausgebildet, in welcher im Einbauzustand in den Staubsauger ein Rohrstutzen des Staubsaugers eingeführt ist. Bei der in Figur 1 dargestellten Verschlußstellung der Verschlußlasche 5 ist diese in die Öffnung 4 eingesteckt, wie dies nach Gebrauch des Staubfilterbeutels 1 bei gefülltem Staubfilterbeutel 1 vorgenommen wird.A dust filter bag 1 with a cover plate 2, such as can be used in an electric vacuum cleaner in particular, is shown and described — first with reference to FIG. While the actual dust filter bag 3 consists of a flexible cellulose material, the cover plate 2 is usually approximately made of a stable cardboard material. In the cover plate 2, an opening 4 is formed, in which a pipe socket of the vacuum cleaner is inserted into the vacuum cleaner in the installed state. In the closed position of the locking tab 5 shown in FIG. 1, it is inserted into the opening 4, how this is done after using the dust filter bag 1 when the dust filter bag 1 is full.

Wie sich insbesondere aus Figur 2 ergibt, welche den Anlieferzustand des Staubfilterbeutel 1 wiedergibt, ist die Verschlußlasche 5 seitlich zu ihrem Verschwenkbereich V an der Halteplatte 2 angelenkt. Im einzelnen ist dies durch zwei Stege 6, 7 verwirklicht, die in die Halteplatte 2 übergehen und entlang einer Faltlinie 10 verschwenkbar sind. Die Stege sind beim Ausführungsbeispiel kreisbogenabschnittsförmig ausgebildet. Überdies sind sie symmetrisch zueinander gestaltet. Insgesamt ist die Verschlußlasche 5 zu ihrer Mittellinie a symmetrisch.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, which shows the delivery condition of the dust filter bag 1, the closure flap 5 is articulated laterally to its pivoting area V on the holding plate 2. In particular, this is realized by two webs 6, 7 which merge into the holding plate 2 and can be pivoted along a folding line 10. In the exemplary embodiment, the webs are designed in the form of sections of a circular arc. In addition, they are designed symmetrically to each other. Overall, the locking tab 5 is symmetrical about its center line a.

Die Verschlußlasche 5 bildet darüber hinaus zwei Einstecklaschen 8, 9 aus, die sich beidseitig der Stege 6, 7 erstrecken. Hierbei bedeutet "beidseitig", daß sich die Einstecklaschen 8, 9 beidseitig des Anschlußbereiches eines Steges 7 bzw. 6 an die Verschlußlasche 5 erstrecken. Die Einstecklaschen 8, 9 sind jeweils halbkreis- bzw. kreisabschnittsförmig ausgebildet, jedoch untereinander beabstandet durch einen vom Grundriß her rechteckigen Bereich 11. (Die Begrenzungslinien des Bereiches 11 sind zur Verdeutlichung in die Zeichnung aufgenommen worden; tatsächlich sind damit weder Knickstellen noch Absätze oder dergleichen der Verschlußlasche 5 angedeutet. Natürlich können solche aber gegebenenfalls vorhanden sein.)The closure tab 5 also forms two insertion tabs 8, 9, which extend on both sides of the webs 6, 7. Here, “on both sides” means that the insertion tabs 8, 9 extend on both sides of the connection area of a web 7 or 6 to the closure tab 5. The insertion tabs 8, 9 are each semicircular or circular section-shaped, but spaced apart from one another by an area 11 which is rectangular in plan (the boundary lines of area 11 have been included in the drawing for clarity; in fact, there are neither kinks, shoulders or the like of the locking tab 5. Of course, there may of course be such.)

Des weiteren ist die Verschlußlasche 5 über einen Abreißsteg 12 mit einer Handhabe 13 verbunden. Die Handhabe 13 ist insgesamt bügelförmig gestaltet. Sie umgibt die Stege 6, 7 außerhalb des hierdurch angedeuteten Kreisbogens. Dadurch, daß sich der rechteckige Bereich 11 der Verschlußlasche 5 und noch ein etwa halbkreisförmiger Bereich der Einstecklasche 9 gleichfalls außerhalb des Kreisbogens, den die Stege 6, 7 aufspannen, erstreckt, ist ein wesentlicher Zwischenraum zwischen den Stegen 6, 7 und der Handhabe 13 bzw. deren oberen gleichfalls kreisbogenabschnittsförmig verlaufenden Bereich gegeben. Hierdurch ist auch ein relativ großer Hebelarm zu der Schwenkachse 10, welche für die Handhabe 13 und die Verschlußlasche 5 zusammenfällt, gegeben. Im Bereich der Verschwenkachse 10 sind die unteren Stege der Handhabe 13 und die Stege 6, 7 der Verschlußlasche 5 allerdings etwa unmittelbar nebeneinander angeordnet.Furthermore, the locking tab 5 is connected to a handle 13 via a tear-off web 12. The handle 13 is designed overall in a bow shape. It surrounds the webs 6, 7 outside the circular arc indicated thereby. The fact that the rectangular area 11 of the Sealing flap 5 and an approximately semicircular area of the insertion flap 9 also extends outside the circular arc, which the webs 6, 7 span, there is a substantial space between the webs 6, 7 and the handle 13 or the upper region thereof, which also extends in the form of an arc section. This also gives a relatively large lever arm to the pivot axis 10, which coincides for the handle 13 and the locking tab 5. In the region of the pivot axis 10, however, the lower webs of the handle 13 and the webs 6, 7 of the locking tab 5 are arranged approximately directly next to one another.

Wie sich insbesondere auch aus der Schnittdarstellung gemäß Figur 4 ergibt, ist der eigentliche Beutel 3 über eine Klebung 14 mit der Deckplatte 2 verbunden. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Deckplatte 2 überdies zweilagig aufgebaut, wobei aus der oberen Lage die Verschlußlasche 5 und die Handhabe 13, etwa durch Ausstanzen oder Ausschneiden, ausgeformt sind. Die untere Lage 15 der Deckplatte 2 ist durchgängig ausgebildet, mit Ausnahme der Öffnung 4, die in der oberen wie in der unteren Lage in Überdeckung ausgebildet sind. Zwischen der oberen Lage und der unteren Lage 15 der Deckplatte 2 ist darüber hinaus im Bereich der Öffnung 4 noch ein beispielsweise Gummiring 16 eingespannt, der ein Dichtkragen der Öffnung ausbildet. Dieser Gummiring 16 wird auch von der Einstecklasche 8 bzw. 9 unterfaßt (vergleiche auch Figur 3).As can be seen in particular from the sectional view according to FIG. 4, the actual bag 3 is connected to the cover plate 2 via an adhesive 14. In the exemplary embodiment, the cover plate 2 is also constructed in two layers, the closure flap 5 and the handle 13 being formed from the upper layer, for example by punching out or cutting out. The lower layer 15 of the cover plate 2 is continuous, with the exception of the opening 4, which are formed in the upper and in the lower layer in overlap. Between the upper layer and the lower layer 15 of the cover plate 2, a rubber ring 16, for example, is also clamped in the area of the opening 4 and forms a sealing collar of the opening. This rubber ring 16 is also covered by the insertion tab 8 or 9 (see also Figure 3).
