Definitions

  • the invention relates to a releasable arrangement of a functional part in a housing opening of a vacuum cleaner housing according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a releasable arrangement of a functional part on a vacuum cleaner housing is known from DE-A-43 35 993.
  • an angular discharge grille forming the functional part is dimensioned in its one width direction larger than the clear width of a housing opening provided on the vacuum cleaner housing.
  • This blow-out grille with its two corresponding opposite edges can engage under the housing wall of the vacuum cleaner housing containing the housing opening.
  • a separate spring element is provided in the area of the boundary edge of the housing opening to be gripped. When inserting the outlet grille into the housing opening, one edge is first inserted under the one boundary edge. The corresponding edge of the outlet grille meets the spring element.
  • the blow-out grille Against the spring force of this spring element, the blow-out grille is pushed into the housing opening until its opposite other edge can be pressed past the boundary edge opposite the one boundary edge into the housing opening. Due to the spring force of the spring element, the blow-out grille is then pushed against the insertion direction until the other edge meets a stop part. In this position, the two marginal edges of the outlet grille engage under the corresponding boundary edges of the housing opening. Since the outlet grille is held in this position by the spring force, it can no longer fall out of the housing opening.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a releasable arrangement of a functional part of the type described above so that no separate spring element is required to securely hold the functional part in the housing opening.
  • the problem is solved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the resilient area can be created during the production of the functional part, as can the corresponding supporting part. This eliminates both the corresponding cost of materials and the manufacturing costs for a separate spring element. In addition, there are no additional assembly costs for such a separate spring element.
  • Both the spring function and the locking function can be summarized by mutually providing at least on one side edge of the functional part and the boundary edge of the housing opening corresponding to this side edge a projection with a starting surface inclined in the release direction of the functional part and a recess corresponding in its contour to the projection is, wherein the side edge and / or the boundary edge are resilient in the region of the projection or the recess.
  • the contact surface is also inclined wedge-shaped relative to the direction of insertion of the functional part into the housing opening, the effort required when inserting the functional part into the housing opening is reduced.
  • the resilient area can also be provided on at least one of the holding elements that reach under the boundary edges.
  • the secure fit of the functional part in the housing opening is achieved with such a design of the functional part in that a stop element is assigned to each of the two limiting edges under which the holding elements are gripped, and the distance between these opposite stop elements is equal or slightly less than the distance between the outer edges of the two Holding elements in their relaxed state.
  • the rectangular discharge grille 3 has, on its two narrow sides, as retaining elements with respect to the actual grille body 4 of the discharge grille 3, extension strips 5a and 5b which project equally. In the inserted state of the outlet grille 3, these extension strips 5a and 5b engage under the corresponding boundary edges 6 of the housing opening 2 and thus hold the outlet grille 3 in the housing opening 2. So that the extension strips 5a and 5b can reach under the boundary edges 6, the distance 7 between the outer edges is Extension strips 5a and 5b are larger than the opening width 8 of the housing opening 2.
  • the length 9 of the grid body 4 is at least about that of the opening width 8 Width 10 of an extension bar 5a or 5b is shorter.
  • a resilient region 13 is formed on the two longitudinal sides 11 of the housing opening 2 by means of incisions 12.
  • a recess 14 with a triangular cross section is provided in the middle of this area 13, which corresponds to the center of the housing opening 2.
  • a protrusion 16 which is likewise triangular in cross-section is formed in the center of the grid body 4 on its longitudinal sides 15, which are angled by 90 ° or approximately 90 °, relative to the narrow sides having the holding elements 5a and 5b.
  • This projection 16 also extends from the inside to the top of the outlet grille 3 in a wedge shape.
  • the stop bar 5a When inserting the outlet grille 3 into the housing opening 2, as already mentioned, the stop bar 5a is pushed under the corresponding boundary edge 6 of the housing opening 2 and then the outlet grille is pressed into the housing opening 2.
  • the projection 16 provided on the long side 15 of the grid body 4 is laterally displaced somewhat relative to the recess 14 located centrally to the housing opening 2.
  • the projection 16 thus hits the housing opening 2 when the outlet grille 3 is pressed into it from the bottom 17 of the depression 14 further to the side on one wall 18 of the depression 14.
  • the longitudinal side 11 of the housing opening 2 in the resilient region 13 is pressed somewhat outwards, so that the projection 16 can slide into the recess 14.
  • the wedge-shaped course of the projection 16 makes it easier to push it into the recess.
  • the grille body 4 When pushing the outlet grille 3 into the housing opening 2, the grille body 4 must also be held in contact with the corresponding boundary edge 6 of the housing opening 2 by corresponding lateral pressure on the outlet grille 3, so that the other extension bar 5b can be guided past the relevant boundary edge 6. If this has happened, then the outlet grille 3 is released and the projection 16 is centered in the respective recess 14 by the spring back of the longitudinal sides 11 of the housing opening 2. The blow-out grille 3 is laterally shifted accordingly, so that the other extension bar 5b also engages under the corresponding boundary edge 6 of the housing opening 2. Thereafter, the outlet grille 3 is secured in its installed position by the projections 16 centered in the recesses 14.
  • the discharge grille 3 is released by a pressure exerted laterally on it.
  • 3 finger depressions 19 are formed on the upper side of the outlet grille as attack surfaces for exerting this pressure.
  • the projections 16 slide along the inclined surfaces of the recesses 14, so that there is a lateral displacement of the outlet grille 3 until the other extension bar 5b no longer engages under the boundary edge 6.
  • the longitudinal sides 11 become resilient Area 13 expanded accordingly outwards. Due to the tension of the resilient area 13, the blow-out grille 3 is pushed out of the housing opening 2 when it is displaced sideways sufficiently.
  • a resilient bracket 21 is formed on one extension bar 5a by an arcuate cutout 20.
  • stop members 22 and 23 are assigned to the boundary edges.
  • the clear distance 24 of these stop members 22 and 23 is the same size or advantageously slightly smaller than the distance 7 between the outer edges of the extension strips 5a and 5b.
  • the blow-out grille 3 can be displaced relative to the housing opening 2 to such an extent that it can be pressed past the corresponding boundary edge 6 of the housing opening 2 into the latter with its other attachment strip 5b. Thereafter, the outlet grille 3 is laterally displaced by the tension of the resilient bracket 21, so that the other extension bar 5b also engages under the boundary edge 6 and finally comes to rest on the other stop member 23. Since the clear distance 24 between the stop members 22 and 23 corresponds to the distance 7 between the outer edges of the extension strips 5a and 5b, the outlet grille 3 is secured in its position against lateral displacement and is secured in the housing opening by the extension strips 5a and 5b engaging under the limiting edge 6 2 held.
  • the clear distance 24 between the stop members 22 and 23 is chosen to be somewhat smaller than the distance 7 between the outer edges of the extension strips 5a and 5b, then the resilient remains The bracket 21 is somewhat taut and holds the outlet grille 3 with its attachment strips 5a and 5b in contact with the stop members 22 and 23. This prevents the outlet grille 3 from rattling.
  • the discharge grille 3 is released again by corresponding lateral pressure on the same, so that it is laterally displaced against the yielding resilient bracket 21 until the other extension bar 5b no longer engages under the boundary edge 6 and the discharge grille 3 is thus removed from the housing opening 2 can.
