Definitions
- the invention relates to vacuum cleaner dust bags, and more particularly a device allowing the connection of a dust bag to a vacuum cleaner frame.
- Vacuums are usually equipped with a bag to store, at least temporarily waste.
- the bag allows simple handling of these waste.
- the attachment of the bag inside the vacuum cleaner is generally carried out thanks to a rigid part, an integral part of the bag, which allows to maintain the inlet opening of the bag in the desired position.
- the rigid part has a substantially central opening which allows the conduit to be introduced suction.
- a seal between the inside of the bag and the suction duct on the one hand and the outside of the bag and the dust container in which we place the bag on the other hand is carried.
- the rigid part can be introduced into slides that hold it in place.
- connection systems for vacuum cleaner bags comprising a bag support advantageously provided with a handle allowing this support to be removed from the vacuum cleaner frame, the bag comprising a rigid part allowing its connection to the support
- the assembly system of the support bag can consist of a zipper, as in the document EP 626 150 where a means of unlocking the fastening means facilitates ejection of the bag from the support.
- innovation efforts essentially focused on systems to separate the bag from support without the user being in contact with the bag filled with dust.
- the means for connecting a new bag can be improved. he is indeed quite difficult, in some cases, to connect the bag to its support for lack of visibility due to the presence of the envelope of the bag which hides in part of the connection when assembling the bag on its support.
- a device for connection between a dust bag and a vacuum cleaner or a rigid pad mounted in the vacuum cleaner said device consisting of a connecting ring disposed on the vacuum cleaner or the rigid plate and comprising means for maintenance of the dust bag.
- the ring is preferably made of a material resistant in order to advantageously replace the device initially present.
- One of the aims of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by implementing a practical, reliable and simple connection system use.
- Another object of the invention is to limit the risks of degradation of the part of the connection in connection with the vacuum cleaner by reducing the efforts of bending likely to be applied on this connection.
- Another object of the invention is to provide, for any type of vacuum cleaner, a dust bag connection system, regardless of the model vacuum. It is indeed interesting to note that the lifespan of a vacuum cleaner can exceed the duration of marketing of this vacuum cleaner. Thus, the user can be in a situation where he can no longer find a bag adapted to its model of vacuum cleaner.
- the present invention also makes it possible to overcome this problem by offering a ready-to-assemble connection allowing replace its existing connection system with an updated system.
- the present invention does not, however, target only vacuum cleaners obsolete since this connection system can be installed on a large variety of vacuum models.
- a device for connecting a bag to dust comprising a collar and a ring which may each be fixed, in a complementary way, one to a vacuum cleaner frame or to a support removable vacuum cleaner or cardboard, and the other to the dust bag according one of their two faces, said flange and ring having means complementary reciprocal support by their free face, as well as at least a visual reference to facilitate their connection, characterized in that the collar and the ring have a non-planar surface at the level of their free face opposite, obtained by varying the height of the two pieces, in order to guide one pieces on each other at the time of their connection.
- connection system therefore comprises two parts, the first to be fixed either directly or by means of a cardboard, on the frame or on a removable vacuum cleaner support, while the second is linked to the dust bag.
- the originality of the invention lies in the existence of means which allow the part linked to the bag to be guided towards the part linked to the vacuum cleaner. This guidance includes visual guidance as well as guidance by sliding from one part to another after their contact.
- the diameter of the device is greater than twice the length of the assembled device, when the ring and the flange are arranged one over the other.
- This dimension ratio makes it possible to reduce the bending forces likely to appear at the level of the fixing, when using this connection, by a change of bag, for example. The risks of deterioration of the connection are thus reduced.
- the flange capable of being fixed to a part of a vacuum cleaner frame, or part of a removable vacuum cleaner holder, or to a cardboard box, includes, in correspondence, a contact crown device when it opens.
- This crown allows various possibilities of arrangement and attachment to the vacuum cleaner, while providing a large contact surface. Indeed, one of the characteristics of this crown is to have a surface capable of being in contact with part of a vacuum cleaner frame, or part of a removable vacuum cleaner support, or a cardboard box, greater than 8 cm 2 .
- the means for fixing the crown of peripheral contact when the flange (or ring) opens on the part of the vacuum cleaner frame, or on the part of a removable vacuum cleaner holder, or on the cardboard is bonding type, allowing to offer a simple connection, little expensive and resistant, in particular thanks to the large contact surface that she presents.
- the peripheral contact ring to the opening of the flange or of the ring has a planar radial part thin device with two free opposite faces in order to allow its fixing by stapling of this peripheral surface on the part of the vacuum cleaner frame, or on the part of a removable vacuum cleaner holder, or on the linerboard.
- This second method of attachment is robust and inexpensive.
- the means for fixing the crown of peripheral contact at the opening of the collar (or ring) has a tubular wall oriented substantially coaxially with the contact ring, extending said opening on the side opposite to the connection, said tubular wall comprising at its free end a bulge oriented on the outside of the wall, so as to be able to cooperate with the internal wall of a disc making counter piece when the flange (or the ring) is inserted, by the wall tubular, in the opening of the wall of the vacuum cleaner frame, or part of a removable vacuum cleaner or cardboard holder.
- This arrangement more complex than the previous ones, has the advantage be able to be reversible, allowing the ring or collar to be easily removed held against the workpiece, while allowing a reliable connection.
- the ring (or the collar), capable of being attached to the bag vacuum cleaner, includes, in correspondence, a fixing contact ring device at its opening.
- This peripheral crown ensures sealing between the bag and the rigid part allowing the connection of the bag to the connection.
- This ring advantageously has a large contact surface with the vacuum cleaner bag, greater than 5 cm 2 , in order to ensure good resistance of the bag, capable of being filled with waste the total mass of which can reach several kg.
- the means for fixing the crown of peripheral contact at the opening of the ring (or collar) on the bag dust is of the bonding type, in order to present a connection that is simple to set up work and inexpensive.
- the means for fixing the crown of peripheral contact at the opening of the ring (or collar) on the bag dust is of the ultrasonic welding type. This technique allows strong and intimate connection between the bag and the ring or collar.
- the visual marks of the collar and of the ring are at least one lateral projection made in each of the two parts.
- connection device comprises, on the ring and on the flange, at least two protuberances arranged symmetrically on each of the pieces, this which facilitates the connection of the two parts since the connection then has symmetry of order equal to the number of outgrowths.
- the flange and ring have the same number of growths.
- the free surface of one of the two parts has a U-shaped contour contour having a sealing lip comprising an internal boss and a guide lip, these two lips delimiting a groove 31 capable of receiving, so complementary, the contour profile of the free surface of the other room in order to make a tight assembly.
- the complementary means for reciprocal support of the ring and the flange consist of at least one clip made on one of the two parts, the second part having at least one complementary ring capable of collaborate with the clip to create the support device.
- Figure 1 shows the overall connection system which consists of a collar 1 and a ring 21 made of plastic.
- the collar 1 is intended to be connected to the frame or to a removable support of the vacuum cleaner, by via a cardboard box 54 (cf. FIG. 8) on which it is stuck, while the ring 21 is intended to be connected to the dust bag.
- a cardboard box into the collar in order to form a single piece, which reduces the number of pieces of the device and increases the quality of the connection of the flange 1 on vacuum
- connection length makes it possible to arrange said connection in most vacuum cleaners, as it takes up a lot of space reduced.
- these two parts 1, 21 have each a surface intended to be in contact with the bag or in connection with the frame of the vacuum cleaner, their second face being intended for their connection Mutual.
- the characteristic characteristic of the face intended to be linked to the bag can be located on the ring or on the collar, just like the face intended for be linked to the frame or to a removable support of the vacuum cleaner.
- the collar 1 is a circular piece, as shown in the figure 2, having a through opening 12 in its center for passage a suction hose or nozzle. Compared to its general shape circular, this flange 1 has protuberances 4 which are advantageously lateral. These outgrowths allow visual identification for the connection of the two parts, since these outgrowths are also arranged on the ring 21. These distinctive signs may take various forms, the principle being to break with the harmony of the room so that the user clearly identifies how the parts are to be approached to be connected.
- the collar 1 has a contour 10 on one of its faces which is sinuous and which departs from a circle through the four protrusions 4 available to the collar.
- This number is not limiting, it is necessary at least one sign of location. However, there is no need to go beyond four or five signs, because the expected effect is canceled out by the number effect.
- these identification signs are multiple, they are arranged regularly in the room, so as to obtain a connection with symmetry. So, in the example proposed, the symmetry is of order 4, which means that however the user approaches the ring 21 of the collar 1, it will not have to perform more than an eighth of a turn to connect the two pieces.
- the contour 10 is not planar, the collar 1 having variation in its height, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 3. So, this flange 1 has zones of low height 7 and higher zones 8, these areas being linked together by slopes 6. In order to keep the symmetry connecting the parts, these zones 7, 8 are distributed symmetrically, in relation to the protuberances 4 of the part. So the areas of low height 7 are located at the level of the protuberances 4, the higher zones 8 being located between these protuberances 4 or over the entire periphery of the part except the outgrowth, if it is unique. These differences in height and the resulting slopes 6 allow easier guidance of the two parts 1, 21 when in contact with each other, as will be explained later.
- the described configuration can be reversed, the low height zones 7 lying between the growths 4.
- the collar 1 further comprises internal mechanical reinforcements 13 located in the protuberances 4 as well as external mechanical reinforcements 14 located on the periphery of the collar 1, between the protuberances 4, at the level zones 8.
- a stop 20 allows, with the reinforcements 14, to constitute other visual indexing marks, which facilitates the connection of the two parts 1, 21.
- the collar and the ring each have a crown contact 2, 42, peripheral to their central opening.
- crown we includes a usually flat surface, which can be curled, but continuous over its entire periphery allowing a contact surface to be produced and waterproof connection, for example for the ring with the bag, or for the flange with cardboard.
- the contact ring 2 is intended to come into contact with the frame or the removable vacuum cleaner holder, in order to guarantee a secure and solid fixing of the flange 1 on the frame of the vacuum cleaner, for example by gluing on a cardboard, itself fixed on the frame or on the support.
- its contact surface is at least 8 cm 2 , and preferably between 10 and 30 cm 2 .
- the crown has an internal diameter of 6.1 cm and an external diameter of 7.4 cm, the surface under each projection representing approximately 1 cm 2 . This contact surface is large enough to ensure good retention of the collar on the vacuum cleaner or the cardboard box, while avoiding making the connection device bulky, as it is clearly visible in the appended figures.
- the ring 21, detailed in Figures 1, 4 and 5, has a shape complementary to the collar 1.
- this ring 21 includes a central recess 32 for the passage of a hose or a suction nozzle, growths 24, distributed in a similar manner to the arrangement of protrusions 4 of the collar 1
- the height of this piece is not constant, the face intended for connection to the flange 1 comprising areas of low height 28 connected to areas of greater height 27 by slopes 26 according to a reverse arrangement of the arrangement established on the collar 1.
- the zones of low height 28 are located between the protrusions 24 of the ring 21, the zones of low height 7 of the flange 1 being located at its protuberances 4.
- the slopes 6, 26 are identical, so as to produce a adjustment of the two parts 1, 21, by the complementarity of the parts to level of their contact surface. The sliding effect of the two pieces one on the other is thus reinforced.
- these two parts 1, 21 fit together one inside the other.
- the outline 10 of the collar 1 is a solid shape
- the contour 30 of the ring 21 has a U-shaped profile, characterized by his throat 31.
- Figures 2 and 4 have been artificially modified to make bring out this particularity, and in particular the throat 31, by blackening of the contour profiles 10, 30.
- This groove 31 is capable of receiving, in a complementary manner, the full profile of the contour 10 of the collar 1, thus making a connection dustproof.
- Figure 7 which shows a partial sectional view of the two parts 1, 21 according to section A-A of FIG. 2, the U-shaped profile of the ring 21 is materialized by two lips, a guide lip 33a and a sealing lip 33b having a boss 37.
- the contour 10 is engaged between the lips 33a, 33b, guided by the chamfer 39 of the guide lip 33a, the lip 33b being in sealing constraint on the contour 10 by its boss 37.
- connection means between the ring 21 and the collar 1, according to this first embodiment, can be part of either of these two pieces.
- one side of one of the two parts can come to engage in a recess of the other, then fold over the other, the final connection being made for example by a device with at least one clip and at least one retaining ring.
- connection means consist of a device with two clips and retaining rings placed on either side of the rooms, as shown in the example given where two fixing clips 15 are arranged symmetrically on the collar 1.
- These clips 15 may be patches, or, as shown, a extension 17 of the collar 1 obtained in its mass during the development of the room.
- These clips 15 include a hook 19 as well as a release 18.
- the symmetry of the connection is then lowered to a symmetry of order 2.
- the ring 21 has a ring 35 for holding, capable of cooperate with the hook 19 in order to support the collar 1.
- the contour 30 of the ring 21 does not have a U-shaped profile, thick has a profile substantially identical to the profile of the contour 10 of the collar 1, in a scale ratio making it possible to adjust the two contours 10 and 30 one to the other, the profile 10 can be located outside or, preferably, at inside the profile 30. This amounts, in a way, to removing one of the lips 33a or 33b of the collar 1.
- the clip device holding the 2 parts, the partial overlap of the two contours ensures a relatively good tightness at the connection of the two parts of the device.
- the maintenance of the two parts is provided by a groove and a full profile, the profile of the two contours 10, 30 being modified, in order to perform this function, as shown in Figure 6.
- the lips 33a, 33b defining the groove 31 of the U-profile of the ring 21 are inclined at an angle ⁇ , the sealing lip 33b having a boss 37.
- the contour 30 has a shape complementary to the groove 31.
- the contour 10 will elastically spread the U-profile from contour 30, and more particularly the sealing lip 33b by its boss 37 so that this contour 10 can be accommodated at the bottom of the groove 31, the elastic return of the U-profile by coincidence of the complementary profiles of the lip 33b and the contour 10 allowing the two parts to be held together, the effect being accentuated by the angle of inclination ⁇ .
- the latter comprises, on said face connected to the bag, a crown 42 not plane, the curvature presented by it corresponding to its elaboration on a rotary drum by gluing or ultrasound, as described in the patent n ° 97 12729.
- This crown can advantageously include energy vectors 50 facilitating the welding of the bag by ultrasound.
- the crown 42 flat or curved, has a contact surface with the bag of at least 5 cm 2 , and preferably close to 10 cm 2 , in order to ensure good sealing at the level of the bag, thus effective support of the bag even when it is filled with dense waste, such as a liquid.
- the internal diameter of the crown 42 is 5.3 cm and the external diameter of 6.4 cm.
- connection principle is as follows.
- the user who connected the flange 1 to the frame of the vacuum cleaner for example by means of a cardboard on which the collar is glued by its flat crown of contact 2, and wishing to connect a vacuum cleaner bag fitted with the ring 21, he approaches said ring 21 of the collar 1 with the aid of visual cues that are the outgrowths 4, 24, i.e. trying to bring in juxtaposition the ring 21 on the flange 1 by making the protrusions 24 of the ring to the protrusions 4 of the collar.
- the user has a symmetry of order 4, i.e. it can cause any outgrowth 24 towards one of the protuberances 4 of the collar 1, or of order symmetry 2, when the clip device 15 is used, in which case care must be taken to have the clips 15 facing the rings 35. Having brought the ring 21 onto the contact flange 1, the user no longer has visual annoyance that he is in the bag dust.
- the protuberances 4 of the collar 1 are zones low height, that is to say that the immediate contour of these outgrowths is slope 6, as shown in Figure 3.
- the holding device comprises the clips 15 and the rings 35
- the connection is even simpler. Indeed, the outer part of the ring 35, during connection, abuts on the slope of the hook 19 of the clip 15.
- the latter being linked only by its base to the collar 1, it has a certain transverse flexibility which allows the rings 35 of the ring 21, when the latter is pressed against the collar 1, to engage on the slopes of the hooks 19 until the rings have passed beyond the hooks 19.
- the elasticity of the clips 15 allows them to resume their original shape and block the rings 35 by pressing them on the hooks 19.
- Disconnection of the ring from the flange is carried out using release members 18 which need only be pressed radially in order to allow the rings 35 to disengage from the hooks 19, which is by elsewhere hygienic since there is no direct contact with the dust.
- a dust bag 52 vacuum cleaner arranged by gluing or welding on a ring 21 is connected to the collar 1, which collar is itself glued to the cardboard 54 by its flat crown 2, peripheral to the central opening.
- a any other support such as a removable support for the vacuum cleaner frame, or even the frame vacuum cleaner itself can be used to stick the flange without leaving the part of the invention.
- the pipe suction 56 connected, therefore in connection with the interior of the dust bag 52.
- the flange 1 has a tubular wall 62 extending the central opening of the collar in the opposite direction to the release members 18, i.e. towards the back of the collar, if we consider that the ring 21 is fixed on the front of the collar 1.
- This tubular wall 62 has a bulge 64 at its directed end towards the outside of the central opening of the collar in order to be able to cooperate with a disc 66 whose diameter D of its opening is slightly smaller at the maximum diameter of the circular wall 62, taken at the level of the bulge 64.
- the method of fixing the flange to the frame of the vacuum cleaner or a removable part of it or a cardboard is made in the way following: the tubular wall 62 of the collar 1 is introduced into the opening of the frame or in that of the removable support or the cardboard, represented by the part 68. Thereafter, the disc 66 is positioned around the wall 62, the other side of the flange, relative to the part 68. The disc 66 therefore acts in sort of like a counter-collar. The elasticity of the wall 62, accentuated by notches 70, allows the disc 66 to cross the bulge 64, then, by returning the wall 62 to its original position, to maintain the flange 1 against part 68.
- the opening in the frame or a removable part thereof or a cardboard can be slightly larger than the diameter of the opening of the connection device, as shown elsewhere in the figure 9b, the disc 66 having a contact surface making it possible to overcome this difference in diameter.
- Figure 10 shows another alternative embodiment of the fixing of the collar on a removable support of the frame or on a cardboard, by a stapling system.
- planar contact ring 2 peripheral at the opening center of the collar 1 extends radially outwards from the flange, thus having a fixing surface 60 surrounding the flange 1.
- This surface is thin, rigid enough to withstand reasonable mechanical stress, linked to the handling of ring 21 on the collar 1 and sufficiently thin to be able to be fixed on a support removable from the frame or on a cardboard using staples crossing the thickness of the surface 60 and the thickness of the support.
- the present invention allows to connect a bag 52 of vacuum cleaner comprising a connecting element, to a vacuum cleaner or to a part removable from the vacuum cleaner or from a cardboard box, said connecting element of the bag being one of the two parts 1, 21 of the connection device according to one of achievements described in this document.
- the invention finds its application in the field of vacuum cleaners household goods and more particularly in that of dust bags vacuum cleaners.
