Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-pressure cleaning device with a high pressure pump, a liquid supply and a pressure line for the from the Pump pumped liquid, with one the pump surrounding housing, at the bottom in Area of a side edge rolls and at the one Handle are arranged.
  • Pressure washers are in increasing use Dimensions designed as small, portable devices, that are also used by private individuals. It is known such devices with a handle train so that they go to the respective site can be worn.
  • a generic High-pressure cleaning device to design that it is easy to the respective Location can be transported and that anyway a space-saving structure can be observed can, which also conventional transport of the device by carrying it.
  • This task is done with a high pressure washer of the type described above according to the invention solved in that the handle between a position inserted into the housing and moved to an extended position and be fixed in these two positions can.
  • the handle is removed from the housing for transport pulled out, thus allowing the housing tilt over the rollers so that the Housing with the help of the pulled handle can be moved on the rollers.
  • the handle On site or during storage, the handle is in again inserted the housing so that the small size the housing is not enlarged. moreover it is possible to insert the handle, which is in the Housing is fixed, at the same time as a handle use.
  • the device can then be used in the conventional Way to be transported by carrying.
  • a retractable and extendable handle on the outside of the Housing is arranged (DE 31 14 303 C2). This gives a bulky structure, also this floor cleaning device not movable.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hochdruckreinigungsgerät mit einer Hochdruckpumpe, einer Flüssigkeitszufuhr und einer Druckleitung für die von der Pumpe geförderte Flüssigkeit, mit einem die Pumpe umgebenden Gehäuse, an dessen Unterseite im Bereich einer Seitenkante Rollen und an dem ein Griff angeordnet sind.
Hochdruckreinigungsgeräte werden in zunehmendem Maße als kleine, tragbare Geräte ausgeführt, die auch von Privatpersonen benutzt werden. Es ist bekannt, derartige Geräte mit einem Tragegriff auszubilden, so daß sie zum jeweiligen Einsatzort getragen werden können.
Bei größeren Hochdruckreinigungsgeräten, deren Gewicht relativ hoch ist, ist diese Art des Transportes zu anstrengend. Man hat daher derartige Hochdruckreinigungsgeräte im Bereich einer Seitenkante mit Rollen versehen, so daß die Hochdruckreinigungsgeräte mit Hilfe des Griffes an der Oberseite gekippt und dann auf diesen Rollen gefahren werden können (US-A-2 640 724; CH-A-573 777). Diese bekannten Reinigungs- oder Chemikalienauftraggeräte sind jedoch sehr groß und auch relativ kompliziert zu fahren, da sich die Griffe unmittelbar an der Oberseite des Gehäuses befinden.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein gattungsgemäßes Hochdruckreinigungsgerät so auszugestalten, daß es in einfacher Weise an den jeweiligen Einsatzort transportiert werden kann und daß trotzdem ein platzsparender Aufbau eingehalten werden kann, der zudem den konventionellen Transport des Gerätes durch Tragen ermöglicht.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Hochdruckreinigungsgerät der eingangs beschriebenen Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Griff zwischen einer in das Gehäuse eingeschobenen Stellung und einer ausgezogenen Stellung verschoben und in diesen beiden Stellungen fixiert werden kann.
Zum Transport wird der Griff aus dem Gehäuse herausgezogen und ermöglicht somit, das Gehäuse über die Rollen zu verkippen, so daß das Gehäuse mit Hilfe des herausgezogenen Griffes auf den Rollen verfahren werden kann. Am Einsatzort oder bei der Lagerung wird der Griff wieder in das Gehäuse eingeschoben, so daß die kleine Baugröße des Gehäuses nicht vergrößert wird. Zudem ist es möglich, den eingeschobenen Griff, der im Gehäuse fixiert ist, gleichzeitig als Tragegriff zu verwenden. Das Gerät kann dann in der herkömmlichen Weise durch Tragen transportiert werden.
Es ist zwar bei Koffern und ähnlichen Gepäckstücken bekannt, einziehbare und ausziehbare Handgriffe zu verwenden, um diese Gepäckstücke zu transportieren (DE 28 51 295 A1; US-A-4,995,487), jedoch sind diese ausziehbaren Handgriffe nur geeignet, diese Gepäckstücke ziehend zu transportieren, wenn sie ausgezogen sind. Diese Handgriffe sind weder zum stoßenden Verschieben geeignet noch als Tragegriff für diese Gepäckstücke, die aus diesem Grund separate Tragegriffe aufweisen.
Bei einem Bodenreinigungsgerät ist vorgesehen, daß ein einschiebbarer und ausziehbarer Griff außenseitig am Gehäuse angeordnet ist (DE 31 14 303 C2). Dadurch ergibt sich ein sperriger Aufbau, außerdem ist dieses Bodenreinigungsgerät nicht verfahrbar.
