  • the power supply is via the the power supply and the on / off switch Handle and that over the plug-like pin with the Given handle connected telescopic centerpiece, being the telescopic centerpiece cable loops or the like has, which by the device handle base rod in the motor housing are guided.
  • This is in everyone length of the telescopic handle the power supply of the motor of the vacuum cleaner guaranteed.
  • the handle can be used, for example two plug-like pins and the telescopic center piece on both ends with two corresponding ones Recordings should be provided, similar to a connector coupling arrangement.
  • the handle has a connecting flange which is also the plug-like pin, and that the connecting flange with respect to the longitudinal extent of the handle is arranged off-center.
  • the handle can be designed so that this parallel, axially offset, to the handle is arranged, the connecting flange of the handle sits in an extension of the handle.
  • This connecting flange can also have a recess have which the outer contour of the base rod corresponds to the handle of the device.
  • a fork-shaped Formation of the connecting flange is an advantage be. It is conceivable to make the fork arms slightly springy, where when placing the handle on the Basic bar, which when telescoping the handle in the area between the telescope center piece and the Anchorage of the device handle exposed on the device side the handle is clipped on, which is already here there is a positive connection. Then the telescope center piece with the handle, as already described, locked, with the associated plug-like Pin enters the corresponding receptacle, so get an optimal form fit. It is after all still advantageous that the off-center arrangement in such a way it is envisaged that only a small lengthwise coverage between the handle and the telescopic centerpiece is formed.
  • the training is such that the handle is in the range of low length Cover with the telescopic center piece on the outer wall supports the center piece.
  • the vacuum cleaner 1 shown is a hand-held device designed. It has a housing 2, on top of which a device handle 3 connects with an end Handle 4. In the handle 4 is a thumb-operated On / off switch 5 arranged. The electrical cable connection is on the opposite of the on / off switch 5, end of the handle facing the user 4 arranged.
  • the housing 2 is divided into a motor housing 7 and an overlying chamber 8 for receiving a filter bag.
  • the motor fan is drawn not reproduced in detail.
  • the motor housing 7 goes into a pipe coupling on the underside 9 over which the air flow connection to a suction nozzle 10 manufactures.
  • suction nozzle 10 With regard to the suction nozzle 10, it can be a so-called Suction / brush nozzle act, the one in the nozzle mouth Brush roller contains a separate drive is set in rotation.
  • the device handle 3 is telescopic, wherein the device handle 3 has a fixed base rod 11, on which a telescopic centerpiece 12 after Operation of a locking button 13 is displaceable.
  • the base rod 11 has on the housing 2 assigned End an anchor 14, which in the housing 2nd can be snapped into place. This latching can also be done by means of a Button 15 can be released, with which the entire handle 3 can be removed from the vacuum cleaner 1.
  • the receptacles 18 On the two end faces 16, 17 of the telescopic center piece 12 are two in the longitudinal extension of the handle 3 aligned, cylindrically shaped receptacles 18 provided. These recordings 18 are used for power supply, the receptacles 18 being electrically above inside the telescopic handle 3 arranged, Cable loops, not shown, with the in the motor housing 7 arranged motor are connected. These cable loops extend from the recordings 18, the Basic rod 11 penetrating into the motor housing 7. The receptacles 18 form a coupling for receiving a handle-side connector.
