Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a vacuum cleaner is known from DE-A-3 337 460.
  • Another vacuum cleaner is, for example, from WO-A-94/15519 known.

  • To use this Vacuum cleaner is the handheld device from the stationary Bottom part removed and then, for example, with a suction pipe and a suction nozzle or the like. At The handset is not used again in the base part inserted, the cable drum winding up the current-carrying line.
  • the vacuum cleaner formed in this way can be used both as a conventional floor vacuum device and as a fully self-sufficient handheld vacuum cleaner.
  • the hand-held device containing the motor-suction unit is arranged on the bottom part and preferably locked with it.
  • the power line connection is formed by a cable provided with a conventional plug, which can be wound up on a cable drum arranged in the base part. From this cable drum another line connection goes out for the connection of the coupled hand-held device part.
  • the base part is provided with wheels or rollers, as are also used in known commercial floor suction devices.
  • the handheld device is completely uncoupled from the base part, ie also with the line connection disconnected.
  • the power supply of the hand-held device can then take place, for example, via a rechargeable battery or the like which is built into the hand-held device and which can be charged via the bottom part in the suction operation.
  • a rechargeable battery or the like which is built into the hand-held device and which can be charged via the bottom part in the suction operation.
  • an embodiment is preferred in which the handheld device is supplied via a power line to be connected when used as a handheld vacuum cleaner. It is essential, however, that the handheld device is completely decoupled from the base part when used as a handheld vacuum cleaner. It has been shown to be a significant advantage of this embodiment according to the invention that a suction hose which is required for the floor operation and which is to be connected to the motor-suction unit can also be used during operation as a hand-held vacuum cleaner, for example in over-floor work for vacuuming upholstery or the like.
  • the handheld device when used as a handheld vacuum cleaner, can be equipped with a handle and an attachment, for example in the form of a suction nozzle.
  • the base part has a rigid socket for the line plug connection with the hand-held device, when the hand-held device is coupled to the base part.
  • This rigid socket interacts with a plug receptacle arranged on the handheld device to form the line plug connection.
  • a cable connector is known from the not previously published patent application by the applicant DE-A-196 08 247.
  • this cable plug-in connection there is preferably also a latching between the hand-held device and the base part.
  • the hand-held connector which interacts with the socket on the bottom part, is used when used as a handheld vacuum cleaner, ie when the hand-held device is uncoupled from the bottom part, for receiving a socket provided with a conventional mains lead and a plug.
  • the bottom part can be designed, for example, in the form of a plate-like chassis, the socket for the line plug connection with the hand-held device being designed in the region of the support base of the bottom part. According to the invention, however, it is proposed that the socket be designed to partially overlap the motor-suction unit.
  • the socket is formed on a cantilever arm of the base part.
  • this cantilever arm which has the socket, projects freely from a receiving floor, essentially vertically upwards, in a gooseneck-like manner, with respect to a plane extension of the base part.

  • the cantilever arm In order to enable this cassette to be opened to replace the inserted filter bag even when the position is coupled to the base part, the cantilever arm must be designed so that it does not engage in the opening path of the cassette.
  • the mentioned corner arrangement proves to be advantageous.
  • the design of the cantilever arm is selected so that it partially overlaps the hand-held device, the coupling of the socket part on the bottom part and the hand-held plug receptacle taking place above the openable filter cassette in the region of a cantilevered cantilever part of the hand-held device housing.
  • the design is selected so that the plug connection is made approximately centrally with respect to the width of the base part and the hand-held device, the socket being oriented such that it extends in the longitudinal direction, ie in the direction of the usual direction of travel of the base part.
  • the hand-held device To open the filter cassette of the hand-held device, it is preferably pivoted in such a way that the filter cassette plunges under the freely projecting socket.
  • the hand-held device can be displaced essentially in a parallel displacement to a receiving base of the base part for locking with the base part. Accordingly, in order to achieve a floor vacuum cleaner, the hand-held device with an integrated motor-suction unit is moved parallel to the receiving base of the base part in the direction of the rigid socket.
  • the socket on the bottom part serves not only for the cable plug connection with the hand-held device, but also for the mechanical coupling of the two parts.
  • the hand-held device on the base part is preferably displaced parallel to a usual direction of travel of the base part, the receiving base preferably being inclined downward in the usual direction of travel of the base part.
