Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein multifunktionales Saugreinigungsgerät, welches ein mit einer elektrisch angetriebenen Bürste versehenes, unteres Gehäuseteil (1) aufweist, dem ein weiteres Gehäuseteil (3) zugeordnet ist, in welchem die Funktionsteile für Unterdruckerzeugen, Staubfiltern und Staubsammeln integriert sind und bei welchem Reinigungsgerät das untere Gehäuseteil (1) an den Saugkreis des weiteren Gehäuseteiles (3) ankoppelbar ist. Außer den Saugkehrarbeiten können mit dem Gerät auch normale Saugarbeiten ohne räumliche Einschränkungen durchgeführt werden, wenn das weitere Gehäuseteil (3) von einem mit dem unteren Gehäuseteil (1) abnehmbar gekoppelten fahrbaren Bodenstaubsauger gebildet ist.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a multifunctional suction cleaning device which has a lower housing part (1) which is provided with an electrically driven brush and to which a further housing part (3) is assigned, in which the functional parts for generating negative pressure, dust filters and dust collection are integrated and with which cleaning device that lower housing part (1) can be coupled to the suction circuit of the further housing part (3). In addition to the vacuum sweeping work, the device can also be used for normal suction work without spatial restrictions if the further housing part (3) is formed by a mobile canister vacuum cleaner which is detachably coupled to the lower housing part (1).
