Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Staubsaugermundstück, an dessen Gehäuse ein verschwenkbar angelenkter Anschlussstutzen zum Anschluss eines Führungssaugrohres vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner mouthpiece, on the housing of which a pivotably hinged connecting piece for connecting a guide suction pipe is provided.

Ein solches Staubsaugermundstück ist durch das DE-U-94 08 560 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Staubsaugermundstück verlaufen die Wandteile des Mundstückgehäuses sowohl an der Vorder- und Rückseite als auch an den beiden Schmalseiten annähernd in senkrechter Richtung. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine in senkrechter Richtung eine gewisse Wandbreite aufweisende Wandfläche, mit der das Mundstückgehäuses beim Saugen gegen im Saugweg liegende Hindernisse stoßen kann. Dies gilt auch, wenn auf einer abzusaugenden Fläche lose verlegte Teppiche vorhanden sind. Das Staubsaugermundstück trifft dann bei Saugarbeiten je nach Bewegungsrichtung mit einer seiner Gehäuseseitenkanten gegen die Begrenzungskante solcher lose verlegte Teppiche.Such a vacuum cleaner mouthpiece is through the DE-U-94 08 560 known. In this known vacuum cleaner mouthpiece, the wall parts of the mouthpiece housing extend approximately both in the vertical direction at the front and rear sides as well as at the two narrow sides. This results in a vertical wall having a certain wall width wall surface with which the mouthpiece housing can encounter when sucking against lying in the suction path obstacles. This also applies if loosely laid carpets are present on a surface to be vacuumed. The vacuum cleaner nozzle then meets with suction work depending on the direction of movement with one of its housing side edges against the boundary edge of such loosely laid carpets.

Bei lose verlegten Teppichen kann sich in deren Randbereich auch Schmutz unter dem Teppich ansammeln. Um diesen Schmutz bei Saugarbeiten mit absaugen zu können, muß der Teppich von Hand angehoben bzw. zurückgeklappt werden, damit in dem Randbereich angesammelter Schmutz mit dem Staubsaugermundstück erreicht und abgesaugt werden kann.For loosely laid carpets, dirt can also accumulate under the carpet in its edge area. In order to be able to extract this dirt during suction work, the carpet must be lifted or folded back by hand, so that accumulated in the edge region dirt can be achieved with the vacuum cleaner nozzle and sucked.

Schließlich sei noch auf dieFinally, be on the GB-A-494826GB-A-494826 sowie dieas well as the US-A-2500977US-A-2500977 hingewiesen, wobei aus ersterer ein Mundstück für das Randabsaugen unter Möbeln und aus letzterer ein dem Kemmen eines Teppichs und der Verbesserung der Fadenaufnahme dienendes Mundstück bekannt sind.from the former, a mouthpiece for edge suction under furniture and from the latter a kemming a carpet and the improvement of the thread receiving mouthpiece are known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Staubsaugermundstück der eingangs beschriebenen Art so auszubilden, dass ein gesondertes Anheben eines lose verlegten Teppichs zum Reinigen zumindest der von dem Teppich überdeckten Randbereiche nicht mehr erforderlich ist.The invention has the object of providing a vacuum cleaner mouthpiece of the type described above in such a way that a separate lifting a loosely laid carpet for cleaning at least the area covered by the carpet edge areas is no longer required.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt nach der Erfindung dadurch, dass an mindestens einer Seite des Mundstückgehäuses ein über die Kontur des Mundstückgehäuses vorstehendes, sich in der Ebene der Auflagefläche des Staubsauaermundstückes erstreckendes, an seinem freien Ende spitz zulaufendes Element vorgesehen ist. Mit dem Element kann der Teppich an dessen jeweiliger Begrenzungskante unterfahren und entsprechend angehoben werden, so dass zumindest im Randbereich des Teppichs unter diesem liegender Schmutz abgesaugt werden kann.The solution of the object is achieved according to the invention in that at least one side of the mouthpiece housing over the contour of the mouthpiece housing projecting, extending in the plane of the support surface of the Staubsauaermundstückes, is provided at its free end tapered element. With the element, the carpet can be driven under at its respective boundary edge and raised accordingly, so that at least in the edge region of the carpet under this lying dirt can be sucked.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Element als spoilerartige Fläche ausgebildet ist. Somit kann ein lose verlegter Teppich mit der spoilerartigen Fläche gleichmäßig in einem entsprechend großen Bereich unterfahren und dort unterhalb des Teppichs gesaugt werden.It is particularly advantageous if the element is designed as a spoiler-like surface. Thus, a loosely laid carpet with the spoiler-like surface can be uniformly traversed in a correspondingly large area and sucked there below the carpet.

Ist das Element bzw. die spoilerartige Fläche an der Vorderseite des Mundstückgehäuses sich in der Ebene der Auflagefläche des Staubsaugermundstückes erstreckend vorgesehen ist, kann ein lose verlegter Teppiche in einfacher Weise beim Vorwärtsbewegen des Staubsaugermundstückes unterfahren werden.If the element or the spoiler-like surface at the front of the mouthpiece housing is provided extending in the plane of the support surface of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece, a loosely laid carpets can be easily traversed when advancing the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece.

Ein stärkeres Anheben des Teppichs kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass das Element bzw. die spoilerartige Fläche an der Vorderseite des Mundstückgehäuses um ca. 90° gegenüber der Auflagefläche des Staubsaugermundstückes nach oben abgebogen ausgebildet ist.A stronger lifting of the carpet can be achieved in that the element or the spoiler-like surface is formed at the front of the mouthpiece housing bent by about 90 ° relative to the support surface of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece upwards.

Dadurch, dass das Element bzw. die spoilerartige Fläche an der Rückseite des Staubsaugermundstückes vorgesehen ist, wird einerseits das Randsaugen an der Vorderseite des Staubsaugermundstückes nicht beeinträchtigt und andererseits kann das Staubsaugermundstück zum Saugen unter dem Teppich mit seiner Rückseite an einer Teppichkante entlang gezogen werden.The fact that the element or the spoiler-like surface is provided at the back of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece, on the one hand the edge suction on the front of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece is not affected and on the other hand, the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece can be pulled under the carpet with its back on a carpet edge for sucking.

Dies gilt auch, wenn das Element bzw. die spoilerartige Fläche an mindestens einer Schmalseite des Mundstückgehäuses vorgesehen ist.This also applies if the element or the spoiler-like surface is provided on at least one narrow side of the mouthpiece housing.

Der Fertigungs- und Montageaufwand kann dadurch gering gehalten werden, dass das Element bzw. die spoilerartige Fläche einteilig am Mundstückgehäuse angeformt ist.The manufacturing and assembly costs can be kept low, that the element or the spoiler-like surface is integrally formed on the mouthpiece housing.

Mit Vorteil lässt sich das Element auch einsetzen, wenn ein zwischen einer Arbeits- und einer Nichtarbeitsstellung verschwenkbar gelagerter Bürstenträger an dem Mundstückgehäuse vorgesehen ist. Wenn in diesem Fall das Element nicht mit dem Mundstückgehäuse unmittelbar verbunden ist - was selbstverständlich auch möglich ist - ist es an dem Bürstenträger befestigt und gemeinsam mit diesem verschwenkbar.Advantageously, the element can also be used when a brush carrier pivotably mounted between a working position and a non-working position is provided on the mouthpiece housing. If in this case the element is not directly connected to the mouthpiece housing - which of course is also possible - it is attached to the brush holder and pivotable together with this.

In weiteren Ausführungsformen ist das Element über eine Schwenkachse oder eine Rastleiste mit dem Mundstückgehäuse verbunden und gegenüber dem Mundstückgehäuse verschwenkbar bzw. in der Höhe in verschiedenen Positionen in der Rastleiste einrastbar.In further embodiments, the element is connected via a pivot axis or a locking strip with the mouthpiece housing and relative to the mouthpiece housing pivotable or in height in different positions in the locking bar latched.

Hierdurch wird ein in der Höhe verstellbarer Teppichheber geschaffen, durch den ein rückenfreundliches Arbeiten möglich ist. Lose Teppiche müssen nicht mehr von Hand angehoben werden, um darunterliegende Flächen, wenigstens im unmittelbar an die Teppichkanten anschließenden Bereich zu reinigen.As a result, an adjustable in height carpet lifter is created by the back-friendly working is possible. Loose carpets no longer need to be lifted by hand to clean underlying surfaces, at least in the area immediately adjacent to the carpet edges.

Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung nachfolgend noch näher erläutert.Reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail below.

Mit 1 ist das Gehäuse eines Staubsaugermundstückes bezeichnet, an dem ein dem Anschluss eines Saugrohres 2 dienender Anschlussstutzen 3 verschwenkbar angelenkt ist. Mittels des an den Anschlussstutzen 3 angesteckten Saugrohres 2 wird das Staubsaugermundstück bei Saugreinigungsarbeiten über die zu reinigende Fläche bewegt.1 with the housing of a vacuum cleaner mouthpiece is referred to, to which a connection of a suction pipe 2 serving connecting piece 3 is pivotally articulated. By means of the attached to the connecting piece 3 suction tube 2, the vacuum cleaner nozzle is moved in Saugreinigungsarbeiten on the surface to be cleaned.

Bei dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Staubsaugermundstück ist an der Vorderseite des Mundstückgehäuses 1 eine spoilerartige Fläche 4 angeformt. Diese spoilerartige Fläche 4 ragt über die eigentliche Kontur des Mundstückgehäuses 1 vor und läuft zu ihrem freien Ende 5 hin spitz zu. Mit diesem zugespitzten Ende 5 kann bei der Durchführung von Saugarbeiten ein auf einer zu reinigenden Fläche lose verlegter Teppich an seinen Begrenzungskanten unterfahren werden, so dass auch zumindest im Randbereich des Teppichs die von ihm überdeckte Fläche gereinigt werden kann. Um dies zu ermöglichen muss der Teppich nicht mehr von Hand angehoben werden.At the in Fig. 1 shown vacuum cleaner mouthpiece is formed on the front of the mouthpiece housing 1 a spoiler-like surface 4. This spoiler-like surface 4 protrudes beyond the actual contour of the mouthpiece housing 1 and runs towards its free end 5 towards pointed. With this pointed end 5, a carpet loosely laid on a surface to be cleaned can be traversed at its boundary edges when suction work is carried out, so that the surface covered by it can also be cleaned, at least in the edge area of the carpet. To make this possible, the carpet no longer has to be lifted by hand.

Ist die spoilerartige Fläche 4 an dem Mundstückgehäuses 1, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, nach oben gebogen ausgebildet, dann wird durch Anheben des Saugrohres 2 das Mundstückgehäuses 1 gegenüber seiner normalen Arbeitslage um etwa 90° weggeklappt. Dadurch kommt die spoilerartige Fläche 4 annähernd in Parallellage zu der abzusaugenden Fläche. Mit dem freien Ende 5 kann dann wieder ein lose verlegter Teppich unterfahren werden. Wird dann das Saugrohr 2 abgesenkt, nimmt das Staubsaugermundstück wieder seine normale Arbeitslage ein, wobei das unter dem Teppich befindliche freie Ende 5 der spoilerartigen Fläche 4 nach oben verschwenkt und der Teppich angehoben wird. Das Staubsaugermundstück kann nunmehr unter dem Teppich zur Durchführung von Saugarbeiten hin- und herbewegt werden.Is the spoiler-like surface 4 on the mouthpiece housing 1, as in Fig. 2 formed, bent upward, then the mouthpiece housing 1 is folded away by lifting the suction tube 2 relative to its normal working position by about 90 °. As a result, the spoiler-like surface 4 comes approximately parallel to the surface to be sucked. With the free end 5 can then be moved under a loosely laid carpet again. If the suction tube 2 is then lowered, the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece returns to its normal working position, the free end 5 of the spoiler-type surface 4 underneath the carpet being pivoted upwards and the carpet being lifted. The vacuum cleaner mouthpiece can now be moved under the carpet to perform suction work.

Die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines Staubsaugermundstückes ermöglicht ein Unterfahren eines lose verlegten Teppichs durch ein Rückwärtsziehen des Staubsaugermundstückes. Das Mundstück kann dabei an einer Begrenzungskante eines lose verlegten Teppichs entlang gezogen werden. Dabei untergreift das Staubsaugermundstück den Randbereich des Teppichs und saugt den dort unter dem Teppich angesammelten Schmutz auf. Bei einer solchen Ausbildung des Staubsaugermundstückes werden die Randsaugeigenschaften des Staubsaugermundstückes an dessen Vorderseite nicht negativ beeinflusst.In the Fig. 3 illustrated embodiment of a vacuum cleaner mouth allows driving under a loosely laid carpet by pulling back the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece. The mouthpiece can be pulled along a boundary edge of a loosely laid carpet. The vacuum cleaner mouth reaches under the edge of the carpet and absorbs the dirt accumulated under the carpet. With such a configuration of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, the edge-suction properties of the vacuum cleaner nozzle at the front side thereof are not adversely affected.

Dies gilt auch, wenn eine spoilerartige Fläche 4 an einer oder beiden Schmalseiten 6 des Staubsaugermundstückes vorgesehen ist. Auch dann kann das Staubsaugermundstück an einer Begrenzungskante des Teppichs entlang gezogen und der dort abgelagerte Schmutz aufgesaugt werden.This also applies if a spoiler-like surface 4 is provided on one or both narrow sides 6 of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece. Even then, the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece can be pulled along a boundary edge of the carpet and the dirt deposited there can be absorbed.

Anstelle einer spoilerartig ausgebildeten Fläche kann auch ein spornartig oder als Dreieckspitze ausgebildetes Element an dem Mundstückgehäuses vorgesehen sein. Auch mittels eines solchen Elementes ist das gewünschte Anheben eines lose verlegten Teppichs möglich.Instead of a surface formed like a spoiler, a spur-like or triangular-shaped element can also be provided on the mouthpiece housing. By means of such an element, the desired lifting of a loosely laid carpet is possible.

In einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 4, 5) ist innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 des Staubsaugermundstücks ein höhenverstellbarer Bürstenträger 7 vorgesehen, der durch einen fußbetätigbaren Schalter 8 in der Höhe gegenüber dem Gehäuse 1 verstellt wird. An dem Bürstenträger 7 ist das Element 9 angebracht, das als Teppichheber dient. Somit wird das Element 9 zusammen mit dem Bürstenträger 8 bewegt.In another embodiment ( Fig. 4, 5 ) is provided within the housing 1 of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece a height-adjustable brush holder 7, which is adjusted by a foot-operated switch 8 in height relative to the housing 1. On the brush holder 7, the element 9 is attached, which serves as a carpet lift. Thus, the element 9 is moved together with the brush holder 8.

Jedoch kann auch dann, wenn ein bewegbarer Bürstenträger vorgesehen ist, das Element zum Anheben des Teppichs an dem Gehäuse 1 befestigt sein.However, even if a movable brush holder is provided, the element for lifting the carpet may be fixed to the case 1.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform lässt sich das Element unabhängig davon, ob ein Bürstenträger vorhanden ist oder nicht, separat in der Höhe verstellen. Hierzu dient eine Schwenkachse, über die das Element gegenüber dem Gehäuse 1 verschwenkbar ist, oder eine mit dem Mundstückgehäuse verbundene Rastleiste, in der das Element in verschiedenen Positionen einrastbar ist.In another embodiment, the element can be adjusted separately, regardless of whether a brush holder is present or not, in height. For this purpose, a pivot axis, via which the element is pivotable relative to the housing 1, or a locking strip connected to the mouthpiece housing, in which the element can be latched in different positions.

Schließlich zeigtFinally shows Fig. 5Fig. 5 , wie bei den schwenkbaren Ausgestaltungen des Elements 9 auch ein Absenken unterhalb der als Strich/Punkt-Linie dargestellten Auflagefläche des Staubsaugermundstücks ermöglicht ist., as in the pivotable embodiments of the element 9 and a lowering below the support surface shown as a dash / dot line of the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece is possible.

Um zumindest den im Randbereich eines lose verlegten Teppichs unter diesem abgelagerten Schmutz abzusaugen, ist es nicht mehr erforderlich, den Teppich von Hand anzuheben. Durch bloßes Entlangfahren an der jeweiligen Begrenzungskante des Teppichs wird dieser Bereich durch das Staubsaugermundstück erreicht und dort befindlicher Schmutz aufgesaugt.In order to suck off at least the edge of a loosely laid carpet under this deposited dirt, it is no longer necessary to raise the carpet by hand. By merely traversing along the respective boundary edge of the carpet, this area is reached through the vacuum cleaner mouthpiece and dirt located there is absorbed.
