Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux suceurs d'aspirateurs, notamment ceux destinés à nettoyer des surfaces fragiles.The present invention relates to vacuum cleaner nozzles, especially those intended for cleaning fragile surfaces.

Il est connu d'utiliser des suceurs d'aspirateur afin de nettoyer tout type de surface. Concemant plus spécifiquement les tissus d'ameublement ou revêtements de fauteuils, coussins, canapés, l'utilisateur hésite souvent à se servir de son aspirateur pour des raisons d'efficacité et de dégradation de l'ameublement par un suceur non adapté pour traiter ces surfaces. Il se résout donc souvent à déconnecter le suceur et à n'utiliser que l'extrémité du tuyau d'évacuation des déchets.It is known to use vacuum cleaners to clean all types of area. More specifically relating to upholstery or upholstery of armchairs, cushions, sofas, the user often hesitates to use your vacuum cleaner for reasons of efficiency and degradation of furnishing with a nozzle not suitable for treating these surfaces. It resolves so often disconnect the nozzle and use only the end of the hose waste disposal.

On connaít cependant des suceurs connectés à un tuyau d'évacuation des déchets, lui-même connecté à une unité d'aspiration, destinés à être utilisé sur des surfaces fragiles. Ainsi, le document GB 433 522 décrit un manchon à texture soyeuse monté de façon élastique sur une partie conique, elle-même clipsée sur un manchon en caoutchouc. La face en contact avec la surface à nettoyer est plane, ce qui n'est pas très adapté aux surfaces des canapés, coussins... Par ailleurs, le revêtement textile utilisé n'est maintenu sur le corps du suceur que par un serrage élastique risquant de désengager ce revêtement lors de l'utilisation de ce suceur. De plus, la réalisation présentée ne permet pas d'aspirer de petits objets.However, we know nozzles connected to a drain pipe waste, itself connected to a suction unit, intended for use on fragile surfaces. Thus, the document GB 433 522 describes a sleeve with silky texture resiliently mounted on a conical part, itself clipped onto a rubber sleeve. The face in contact with the surface to cleaning is flat, which is not very suitable for sofa surfaces, cushions ... Furthermore, the textile covering used is not maintained on the body of the crevice only by an elastic tightening which may disengage this coating during of the use of this nozzle. In addition, the realization presented does not allow vacuum small objects.

Par ailleurs, le document DE 35 00 106 décrit un suceur d'aspirateur comportant, selon l'une des réalisations de l'invention, une semelle de forme bombée comportant des trous ouverts vers la surface à nettoyer et reliés au circuit d'aspiration. Ce suceur comporte également une pièce recouvrant la surface extérieure de la semelle bombée. Ladite pièce, comportant également des ouvertures, est montée mobile en rotation sur le pourtour de la semelle, de telle sorte à pouvoir faire coïncider ou non ses ouvertures avec les ouvertures du suceur, permettant ainsi de doser la force d'aspiration.Furthermore, document DE 35 00 106 describes a vacuum cleaner nozzle comprising, according to one of the embodiments of the invention, a domed sole having holes open towards the surface to be cleaned and connected to the circuit suction. This nozzle also has a part covering the surface outer of the curved sole. Said exhibit, also comprising openings, is rotatably mounted on the periphery of the sole, such so as to be able to make its openings coincide or not with the openings of the squeegee, thus allowing the suction force to be measured.

Un tel suceur ne peut être adapté à différents types de surfaces en présentant une interface choisie en fonction de la surface à nettoyer. En effet, un tel suceur, par sa forme bombée, trouve toute son application dans le traitement de surfaces accidentées et délicates, tels des tissus d'ameublement recouvrant des canapés, ou la surface de meubles,... Il paraít alors intéressant de pouvoir présenter un suceur permettant de nettoyer de telles surfaces sans risque de les endommager.Such a nozzle can not be adapted to different types of surfaces by presenting an interface chosen according to the surface to be cleaned. Indeed, such the crevice tool finds its full application in the treatment rugged and delicate surfaces, such as upholstery covering sofas, or the surface of furniture, ... It seems interesting to be able present a nozzle allowing cleaning of such surfaces without risk of damage them.

La présente invention vise à résoudre ce problème de l'art antérieur, en présentant un suceur offrant la possibilité d'aspirer de petits objets, et dont la face destinée à venir en contact avec la surface à nettoyer est bombée et peut être adaptée à tout type de surface.The present invention aims to solve this problem of the prior art, by having a nozzle providing the possibility of sucking up small objects, and the face intended to come into contact with the surface to be cleaned is curved and can be suitable for any type of surface.

La présente invention est atteinte à l'aide d'un suceur d'aspirateur, comportant un capot, un canal de passage de l'air, débouchant par une extrémité sous la forme d'un manchon susceptible de recevoir un tube d'évacuation des déchets, lui-même pouvant être relié à une unité d'aspiration, une semelle liée au capot comportant une ouverture centrale ainsi que plusieurs ouvertures secondaires réparties sur la surface de cette semelle, lesdites ouvertures étant susceptibles d'être reliées au canal de passage de l'air situé dans le capot et débouchantes sur la face de la semelle destinée à venir en contact avec la surface à nettoyer, ladite face étant bombée, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins un revêtement textile ou une mousse amovible, de forme déployée plane, peut être disposée sur la semelle en étant maintenu sur celle-ci par un système d'accrochage.The present invention is achieved using a vacuum cleaner nozzle, comprising a hood, an air passage channel, opening at one end in the form a sleeve capable of receiving a waste evacuation tube, itself can be connected to a suction unit, a sole linked to the hood having a central opening and several secondary openings distributed over the surface of this sole, said openings being susceptible to be connected to the air passage channel located in the hood and through on the face of the sole intended to come into contact with the surface to be cleaned, said face being curved, characterized in that at least one textile covering or a removable foam, of flat deployed shape, can be placed on the sole being held thereon by a fastening system.

Cette configuration permet de pouvoir aspirer de petits objets par les ouvertures coïncidantes du suceur et du revêtement, et de présenter une surface pouvant se conformer, soit au type de surface à nettoyer, soit au type de nettoyage souhaité. Dans tous les cas, il est possible de trouver la bonne interface permettant de respecter et de ne pas endommager la surface à nettoyer. This configuration allows you to suck small objects through the openings coinciding with the squeegee and the coating, and presenting a surface which can be conform either to the type of surface to be cleaned or to the type of cleaning desired. In any case, it is possible to find the right interface allowing to respect and not damage the surface to be cleaned.

Selon l'un des modes possibles de réalisation, le système d'accrochage est réalisé à l'aide de picots régulièrement situés sur le pourtour de la face bombée de la semelle.According to one of the possible embodiments, the attachment system is made using pins regularly located around the periphery of the curved face of the sole.

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, le revêtement dispose d'ouvertures susceptibles de coïncider avec les ouvertures ménagées dans la semelle du suceur lors du positionnement du revêtement sur ladite semelle afin de pouvoir garder la possibilité de pouvoir aspirer de petits objets.According to a preferred embodiment, the coating has openings likely to coincide with the openings in the sole of the nozzle during positioning of the coating on said sole in order to be able to keep the possibility of being able to vacuum small objects.

Avantageusement, le suceur comporte un anneau de protection en matière souple, destiné à protéger l'environnement du suceur, ledit anneau étant susceptible de venir se positionner sur le pourtour de la semelle par une liaison mécanique de type clipsage ou par déformation élastique de son profil.Advantageously, the nozzle has a protective ring made of material flexible, intended to protect the environment of the nozzle, said ring being likely to be positioned on the periphery of the sole by a connection mechanical clipping type or by elastic deformation of its profile.

Selon une réalisation préférentielle, l'anneau de protection comporte des picots de maintien du revêtement textile, de la mousse ou de la peau de chamois, ces picots étant orientés de façon opposée à l'orientation des picots situés sur la semelle lorsque l'anneau de protection est positionné sur la semelle. Cette disposition renforce la tenue mécanique du revêtement sur la semelle.According to a preferred embodiment, the protection ring includes pins for maintaining the textile covering, the foam or the chamois, these pins being oriented opposite to the orientation of the pins located on the sole when the protective ring is positioned on the sole. This provision reinforces the mechanical resistance of the coating on the sole.

Avantageusement, selon cette demière configuration, les picots sont disposés sur l'anneau de protection selon une même régularité que la disposition des picots de la semelle en présentant cependant un décalage général, de telle sorte que le positionnement de l'anneau de protection sur la semelle vêtue du revêtement textile, de la mousse ou de la peau de chamois entraíne un maintien de celui-ci sur son pourtour, alternativement par un picot issu de la semelle et par un picot issu de l'anneau de protection.Advantageously, according to this last configuration, the pins are arranged on the protection ring in the same regularity as the arrangement of sole studs with a general offset, however, so that the positioning of the protection ring on the clad sole textile coating, foam or chamois provides support of it on its periphery, alternately by a pin from the sole and by a pin from the protection ring.

Avantageusement, le capot du suceur peut présenter une certaine souplesse afin de respecter l'environnement d'aspiration (meubles,...). Advantageously, the nozzle cap can have a certain flexibility in order to to respect the suction environment (furniture, ...).

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, le suceur est de forme générale triangulaire, afin de pouvoir être utilisé dans des recoins et angles des pièces à nettoyer.According to a preferred embodiment, the nozzle is of general shape triangular, so that it can be used in corners and corners of rooms to clean.

Sur la figure 1 est présenté le capot 1 du suceur 3 représenté à la figure 7. La forme générale du suceur 3 est triangulaire et n'est proposée qu'à titre d'exemple illustrant la présente invention. Ce suceur 3, dans sa version préférentielle de réalisation, est composé de 2 parties de forme générale triangulaire : un capot 1 présenté figures 1 et 2 et une semelle 13 présentée figures 3 et 4.In Figure 1 is presented the cover 1 of the nozzle 3 shown in Figure 7. The general shape of the nozzle 3 is triangular and is only offered as example illustrating the present invention. This nozzle 3, in its version preferential of realization, is composed of 2 parts of general shape triangular: a cover 1 presented in FIGS. 1 and 2 and a sole 13 presented Figures 3 and 4.

Avantageusement, il est complété par un revêtement textile ou une mousse 32 visible figure 7 ainsi que par un élément protecteur présenté aux figures 6 et 7.Advantageously, it is supplemented by a textile covering or a foam 32 visible in FIG. 7 as well as by a protective element presented in FIGS. 6 and 7.

Le capot 1 est composé d'un manchon 2 délimitant un canal de circulation d'air, ledit canal s'étendant sous une partie plane 5 en débouchant par une ouverture 8, visible figure 2. La partie plane 5 du capot est délimitée par un rebord 6 périphérique définissant un volume 10, ledit rebord 6 comportant des lumières d'accrochage 12. Ces ouvertures sont destinées à maintenir la semelle 13 au capot 1 du suceur 3, par clipsage.The cover 1 is composed of a sleeve 2 delimiting an air circulation channel, said channel extending under a flat part 5 by opening through an opening 8, visible in FIG. 2. The flat part 5 of the cover is delimited by a flange 6 peripheral defining a volume 10, said rim 6 comprising lights attachment 12. These openings are intended to maintain the sole 13 at cover 1 of the squeegee 3, by clipping.

La semelle 13, présentée figure 3 et 4 comporte une face 24 plane destinée à être mise en contact avec le capot 1, comportant des clips mâles 14 destinés à la fixation de la semelle 13 au capot 1 par clipsage des clips 14 dans les lumières d'accrochage 12. Cette semelle présente aussi une face destinée à être mise en contact avec la surface à nettoyer composée d'une structure inteme rigide 16 complexe formée de parties de différentes hauteurs, de telle sorte que l'épaisseur de la semelle 13 est plus importante au centre de celle-ci que sur les bords, en présentant une décroissance régulière et symétrique sur l'ensemble de la surface de la semelle 13. De la sorte, la surface de la semelle 13 destinée à être en contact avec la surface à nettoyer est bombée, comme il est visible figure 4.The sole 13, presented in FIGS. 3 and 4 has a flat face 24 intended to be brought into contact with the cover 1, comprising male clips 14 intended for fixing the sole 13 to the cover 1 by clipping the clips 14 into the attachment lights 12. This sole also has a face intended for be brought into contact with the surface to be cleaned composed of a structure rigid internal 16 complex formed of parts of different heights, such so that the thickness of the sole 13 is greater in the center thereof only on the edges, presenting a regular and symmetrical decrease on the entire surface of the sole 13. In this way, the surface of the sole 13 intended to be in contact with the surface to be cleaned is curved, as it is visible in Figure 4.

La semelle comporte une ouverture d'aspiration centrale 18 ainsi que plusieurs ouvertures secondaires 20, situées notamment vers les pointes de la semelle triangulaire et autour de l'ouverture centrale 18. Cette disposition n'est pas unique, toute autre disposition de ces ouvertures peut être adoptée sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention. Ces ouvertures disposées régulièrement sur la surface de la semelle permettent de pouvoir aspirer de petits objets sur globalement toute la surface de la semelle, sans avoir à viser spécialement l'objet à aspirer lorsque, par exemple, une seule ouverture d'aspiration est présente.The sole has a central suction opening 18 as well as several secondary openings 20, located in particular towards the tips of the sole triangular and around the central opening 18. This arrangement is not unique, any other arrangement of these openings can be adopted without leaving of the scope of the present invention. These openings regularly arranged on the surface of the sole allows to vacuum small objects on overall the entire surface of the sole, without having to aim specifically the object to be vacuumed when, for example, only one vacuum opening is present.

Avantageusement, le capot 1 peut être réalisé en un matériau présentant une légère souplesse, afin de protéger l'environnement d'aspiration. La semelle 13 peut aussi présenter une certaine souplesse afin d'être utilisée sans risque sur toute surface. Advantageously, the cover 1 can be made of a material having a slight flexibility to protect the suction environment. The sole 13 can also be flexible enough to be used safely on any surface.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, la semelle présente, sur son pourtour plan 21, des picots 22 régulièrement disposés et orientés perpendiculairement à ce pourtour 21. Ces picots 22 permettent le maintien d'un revêtement souple 32 ou d'une mousse alvéolée sur la surface de la semelle 13, par compressions localisées du revêtement 32 par les picots 22. Celle-ci étant légèrement bombée par construction, elle donne sa forme aux revêtements ou à la mousse 32 qui lui sont fixés.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the sole has, on its perimeter plane 21, pins 22 regularly arranged and oriented perpendicular to this periphery 21. These pins 22 allow the maintenance a flexible covering 32 or a cellular foam on the surface of the sole 13, by localized compressions of the covering 32 by the pins 22. This one being slightly domed by construction, it gives its shape to coatings or foam 32 attached thereto.

Il est ainsi possible d'utiliser des revêtements textiles, mousses ou peau de chamois de forme déployée plane, ce qui simplifie la fabrication de ces éléments et donc réduit leur coût. Le revêtement 32 s'adapte à la forme légèrement bombée imposée par la semelle 13.It is thus possible to use textile coverings, foams or skin of flat deployed chamois, which simplifies the manufacture of these elements and therefore reduces their cost. The coating 32 adapts to the shape slightly domed imposed by the sole 13.

De manière à garder une des particularités du suceur 3, à savoir une disposition régulière de trous d'aspiration 18, 20 permettant l'aspiration de petits objets, le revêtement, mousse ou peau de chamois 32 dispose aussi d'ouvertures 34 de taille sensiblement égale à la taille des ouvertures secondaires 20 réalisées dans la semelle 13 du suceur 3. Ces ouvertures 34 sont disposées de manière à coïncider avec les ouvertures 18, 20 lors de la mise en place du revêtement 32 sur la semelle 13.In order to keep one of the peculiarities of the nozzle 3, namely a regular arrangement of suction holes 18, 20 allowing the suction of small objects, the covering, foam or chamois 32 also has openings 34 of size substantially equal to the size of the openings secondary 20 made in the sole 13 of the nozzle 3. These openings 34 are arranged so as to coincide with the openings 18, 20 during the fitting of the coating 32 on the sole 13.

Le mode de maintien du revêtement 32 sur la semelle 13 permet à l'utilisateur de pouvoir changer facilement ce revêtement 32. Ainsi, le suceur 3 selon l'invention peut avantageusement être utilisé dans des applications variées. Il est possible de recouvrir la semelle 13 avec différents matériaux adaptés aux surfaces à nettoyer, ou adaptées à différentes utilisations.The method of holding the coating 32 on the sole 13 allows the user to be able to easily change this coating 32. Thus, the nozzle 3 according to the invention can advantageously be used in various applications. he it is possible to cover the sole 13 with different materials suitable for surfaces to be cleaned, or suitable for different uses.

Par exemple, dans une utilisation 'nettoyage de vitres', la semelle 13 du suceur 3 est revêtue d'une toile en peau de chamois, avantageusement montée par dessus une mousse afin d'avoir un contact plus souple avec la vitre. La peau de chamois qui est de préférence légèrement poreuse, permet de frotter, de racler et de rassembler l'eau en une vague qui est aspirée par le suceur. On obtient ainsi un nettoyage et un assèchement de très bonne qualité de la vitre. Afin d'optimiser le maniement du suceur sur la vitre, sa forme géométrique peut être allongée.For example, in a “window cleaning” use, the sole 13 of the squeegee 3 is covered with a chamois cloth, advantageously mounted by above a foam in order to have a more flexible contact with the glass. The skin chamois which is preferably slightly porous, allows to rub, scrape and collect the water into a wave which is sucked in by the squeegee. We thus obtaining a very good cleaning and drying of the glass. In order to optimize the handling of the squeegee on the glass, its geometric shape can to be lying down.

Dans le même ordre d'idée, la semelle du suceur peut être recouverte d'une peau de lustrage qui permet de lustrer en particulier les meubles en bois. Le suceur tout en lustrant rassemble les poussières qui sont aspirées au fur et à mesure. Le polissage des carrosseries de voiture est aussi amélioré.In the same vein, the nozzle sole can be covered with a buffing skin which allows to polish wooden furniture in particular. The crevice while polishing collects the dust which is sucked in as measured. The polishing of car bodies is also improved.

Dans une variante de réalisation de la présente invention, le suceur 3 comporte un anneau protecteur 25 destiné à protéger l'environnement du suceur 3 en cours d'utilisation. Cet anneau 25, de forme triangulaire adaptée à la forme générale du capot 1 et de la semelle 13, est en matière souple, comporte en rebord protecteur 26 présentant une surface bombée 30, ainsi qu'une face d'appui 27. Cette face d'appui 27 est destinée à venir en contact avec le pourtour plan 21 de la semelle 13. L'anneau de protection 25 est maintenu sur la semelle 13 par clipsage extérieur dans les lumières d'accrochage 12 ou par déformation élastique de son profil.In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the nozzle 3 comprises a protective ring 25 intended to protect the environment of the nozzle 3 in during use. This ring 25, of triangular shape adapted to the shape of the cover 1 and of the sole 13, is made of flexible material, includes protective rim 26 having a curved surface 30, as well as a face of support 27. This support face 27 is intended to come into contact with the periphery plane 21 of the sole 13. The protective ring 25 is maintained on the sole 13 by external clipping into the attachment slots 12 or by elastic deformation of its profile.

Selon une réalisation préférentielle, l'anneau de protection comporte des picots 28 de maintien du revêtement 32. Ces picots sont orientés perpendiculairement à la face d'appui 27. Ainsi, lorsque l'anneau de protection 25 est positionné sur la semelle 13 munie d'un revêtement 32, celui-ci se trouve localement comprimé ou même partiellement transpercé sur sa face en contact avec la semelle par les picots 22, et sur la face destinée à être en contact avec la surface à nettoyer, par les picots 28 de l'anneau 25. Le maintien de ce revêtement sur le suceur est donc renforcé.According to a preferred embodiment, the protection ring includes pins 28 for holding the coating 32. These pins are oriented perpendicular to the bearing face 27. Thus, when the protective ring 25 is positioned on the sole 13 provided with a coating 32, this is locally compressed or even partially pierced on its face in contact with the sole by the pins 22, and on the face intended to be in contact with the surface to be cleaned, by the pins 28 of the ring 25. Maintaining this coating on the nozzle is therefore strengthened.

Avantageusement, le maintien du revêtement 32 est amélioré par une perforation altemée des picots 22, 28 sur le revêtement 32, maintenu alors altemativement par un picot 22 issu de la semelle 13 et par un picot 28 issu de l'anneau protecteur 25. Cette configuration est atteinte par une disposition des picots 28 sur l'anneau de protection 25 selon une même régularité que la disposition des picots 22 sur la semelle en présentant un décalage général, égal approximativement à un demi-écartement entre deux picots 22 de la semelle 13. Ainsi un picot 28 de l'anneau 25, lors de son positionnement sur la semelle 13, se positionnera approximativement entre deux picots 22 de la semelle 13.Advantageously, the maintenance of the coating 32 is improved by a perforation altemée of the pins 22, 28 on the coating 32, then maintained altematively by a pin 22 coming from the sole 13 and by a pin 28 coming from the ring protector 25. This configuration is achieved by an arrangement of the pins 28 on the protection ring 25 in the same regularity as the arrangement of the studs 22 on the sole with a general offset, equal approximately half a distance between two pins 22 of the sole 13. Thus a pin 28 of the ring 25, when it is positioned on the sole 13, will be positioned approximately between two pins 22 of the sole 13.

La figure 8 montre, dans une vue en coupe du bord du suceur, une variante de réalisation de système de maintien du revêtement 32. Celui-ci est disposé sur la semelle bombée 13, en veillant à faire coïncider ses ouvertures 34 avec les ouvertures 20 de la semelle. La semelle dispose, sur son pourtour, d'une paroi 33 sensiblement verticale ou légèrement en creux. Le revêtement est ainsi tendu sur la surface bombée de la semelle puis maintenu sur cette paroi 33 par une bande élastique 36. Celle-ci nécessite d'être déformée pour être positionnée sur la périphérie du suceur au niveau de la paroi 33, permettant ainsi de maintenir le revêtement 32 à la semelle 13.Figure 8 shows, in a sectional view of the edge of the nozzle, a variant of realization of a retaining system for the covering 32. This is placed on the domed sole 13, taking care to make its openings 34 coincide with the openings 20 of the sole. The sole has a wall on its periphery 33 substantially vertical or slightly recessed. The covering is thus stretched on the curved surface of the sole then held on this wall 33 by a elastic band 36. This needs to be deformed to be positioned on the periphery of the squeegee at the level of the wall 33, thus making it possible to maintain the coating 32 on sole 13.

De plus, cette bande élastique fait office de protection pour l'environnement du suceur lors de son utilisation.In addition, this elastic band acts as protection for the environment of the crevice when in use.

La figure 9 est une autre variante de réalisation du système de maintien du revêtement 32 à la semelle 13. La bande de protection 38 présente, sur toute sa périphérie ou en quelques endroits précis, une saillie intérieure 45 destinée à coopérer avec crochet 41 ménagé sur la périphérie de la semelle 13. Par ailleurs, la bande de protection 38 présente une excroissance 40, dirigée vers l'intérieur du suceur, de préférence sur toute la périphérie du suceur. Cette excroissance permet à la bande de protection de maintenir le revêtement 32 sur la surface bombée de la semelle, en le coinçant entre un rebord 42 ménagé à l'intérieur de la semelle 13 et l'excroissance 40.FIG. 9 is another alternative embodiment of the system for maintaining the coating 32 on the sole 13. The protective strip 38 has, on all of its periphery or in a few specific places, an internal projection 45 intended to cooperate with hook 41 formed on the periphery of the sole 13. Furthermore, the protective strip 38 has a protrusion 40, directed inwards of the nozzle, preferably over the entire periphery of the nozzle. This outgrowth allows the protective strip to hold the coating 32 on the surface curved of the sole, wedging it between a flange 42 formed inside of the sole 13 and the protuberance 40.

De préférence, le rebord 42 et l'excroissance 40 ne sont pas disposés en vis-à-vis, afin d'accentuer le coincement du revêtement. Preferably, the rim 42 and the protrusion 40 are not disposed opposite, to accentuate the jamming of the coating.

Lors de l'utilisation du suceur 3, conforme à la présente invention, l'utilisateur peut équiper facilement ce suceur d'un revêtement textile, mousse, ou peau de chamois selon l'utilisation. Ce revêtement peut être facilement confectionné par l'utilisateur en cas de nécessité, puisque les revêtements utilisés ont une surface déployée plane. Grâce aux ouvertures ménagées dans la semelle du suceur et sur les revêtements utilisés, l'utilisateur peut, tout en protégeant les surfaces nettoyées, par le revêtement 32 utilisé, aspirer de petits objets par ces ouvertures. La forme bombée de la semelle 13 équipée ou non d'un revêtement textile 32, offre une surface de contact avec la surface à nettoyer variable, notamment sur des surfaces souples (canapés, coussins) où le suceur peut être appuyé, la souplesse de la surface à nettoyer ainsi que celle éventuellement du revêtement 32 utilisé permettant d'augmenter la surface de contact sur les objets à nettoyer. Par ailleurs, l'aspiration peut être modulée selon l'angle présenté par le suceur sur la surface à nettoyer, qui peut alors présenter une surface exempte d'ouvertures d'aspiration, ou en comportant une ou plusieurs de ces ouvertures.When using the nozzle 3, in accordance with the present invention, the user can easily equip this nozzle with a textile, foam or skin covering chamois according to use. This coating can be easily made by the user if necessary, since the coverings used have a surface deployed flat. Thanks to the openings in the soleplate and on the coverings used, the user can, while protecting the surfaces cleaned, by the coating 32 used, vacuum small objects by these openings. The convex shape of the sole 13 whether or not fitted with a coating textile 32, provides a variable contact surface with the surface to be cleaned, especially on soft surfaces (sofas, cushions) where the squeegee can be supported, the flexibility of the surface to be cleaned as well as that of the coating 32 used to increase the contact surface on objects to clean. Furthermore, the suction can be adjusted according to the angle presented the squeegee on the surface to be cleaned, which can then have an free surface suction openings, or having one or more of these openings.
