Definitions

  • 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 a vacuum cleaner, the opening being closable from the outside with a separate locking tab which has an insertion area and laterally to its pivoting area by means of a web on the Holding plate is articulated.
  • a closure element is connected to an actuating flap via two lateral webs.
  • the closure element has a support edge with which it rests on the opening in the holding plate in the closed state.
  • the insertion area is formed in the pivoting direction on two opposite sections of the insertion tab, which can reach 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.
  • 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 be preferably symmetrical to one another.
  • an axis of symmetry extends centrally through the locking tab.
  • the one insertion tab which is located outside the arc of the webs, is 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 such that the previously described overall larger insertion tab (in conjunction with the rectangular section mentioned) is one-sided.
  • the invention also proposes that the locking tab is connected to a handle via a tear-off web.
  • the handle In the delivery state, the handle is firmly connected to the locking tab.
  • the closure flap can be held in a simple manner via the handle, which is larger, ie which extends further outwards.
  • 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.
  • the handle can also preferably be attached to the holding plate at the factory by means of an adhesive point or the like.
  • the sealing tab can be simply pivoted into its closed position with the relatively large handle.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 2 which shows the delivery state of the dust filter bag 1
  • the closure flap 5 is articulated on the holding plate 2 laterally to its pivoting region V.
  • this is realized by two webs 6, 7 which merge into the holding plate 2 and can be pivoted along a folding line 10.
  • the webs are designed in the form of sections of a circular arc.
  • they are designed symmetrically to each other.
  • the locking tab 5 is symmetrical about its center line a.
  • the closure flap 5 also forms two insertion flaps or insertion regions 8, 9 which extend on both sides of the webs 6, 7.
  • “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 a section 11 that 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 flap 5. Of course, there may, however, be any.)
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the actual bag 3 is connected to the cover plate 2 via an adhesive 14.
  • 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.
  • 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).
