Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sealing arrangement for a dust container comprising a dust bag, a collar fastened to the bag, and a flexible membrane with a membrane opening, where the flexible membrane partly covers a collar opening that can be sealed by a guillotine arrangement having a plate-shaped element, which is provided with an opening and is moved parallel to the plane of the collar.
  • the collar comprises two or three different layers.
  • a part of one layer forms the movable guillotine arrangement and the remaining parts of the collar are glued to one another to form the guides and stop means for the movement of the guillotine.
  • Each layer is provided with an opening, which together forms a collar opening for the air flowing into the dust container.
  • a flexible membrane having an opening, which is smaller than the inlet opening of the collar. This membrane serves as a sealing element against the inlet sleeve of the vacuum cleaner, which is inserted through the inlet opening of the collar and through which the dust-laden air enters into the dust container.
  • the collar sometimes is influenced by such forces under the vacuum cleaning operation so that it becomes deformed.
  • the closing movement of the plate serving as a guillotine is then prevented because the edges of the guillotine opening engage the edges of the openings in the remaining layers.
  • the dust leaves through the remaining opening to the atmosphere.
  • WO 98/32365 discloses a connector system for connecting a hose and a filter bag of a vacuum cleaner.
  • Said connector comprises a collar and a frame having a hole covered by an elastic diaphragm, for providing a fluid seal against the outside perimeter of the connector.
  • WO 98/32365 does not comprise any movable guillotine arrangement for closing the filter bag when not arranged in the vacuum cleaner.
  • This invention provides a dust container that prevents dust from leaving the container even if the guillotine element does not cover the inlet opening completely. This is achieved by a sealing arrangement of a dust container having a dust bag, a collar fastened to the bag, and a flexible membrane having a membrane opening, where the flexible membrane partly covers an inlet opening that can be at least partly sealed by a guillotine arrangement having a plate-shaped element that is provided with an opening and is moved parallel to a plane of the collar.
  • the rear part of the plate-shaped opening as seen in a moving direction of the plate-shaped element from an open to a closed position, is provided with a forwardly extending portion whose central section is placed further forward, as seen in the moving direction, than adjacent side parts of the plate-shaped opening.
  • the dust container as shown in Figs. 1-4 comprises a bag 10 of air pervious material whose opening is covered by a collar 11 of comparatively stiff material, for instance, cardboard or plastic.
  • the collar 11 comprises three layers that are glued together.
  • the first outer layer 12 forms an outwardly extending side
  • the second layer 13 is an intermediate layer
  • the third layer 14 is an inner layer to which the bag is fastened.
  • the collar has an inlet opening 15 through which the dust-laden air flows into the dust container.
  • the inlet opening is partly covered by a flexible membrane 16, which is placed between the second and third layers that are glued together.
  • the flexible membrane 16 has a membrane opening 17 through which an inlet sleeve (not shown) arranged on the vacuum cleaner is inserted and the flexible membrane 16 forms a seal around the sleeve.
  • the first layer 12 comprises a mainly rectangular plate with a mainly oval opening 18 that is surrounded by several tabs 19.
  • the tabs are connected to the plate via a circular bending or tear-off line 20.
  • the second layer 13 comprises a plate-shaped central element or guillotine part 21 and two identical but mirror inverted elongated edge portions 22 that are placed at each side of and close to the central element 21.
  • the central element 21 is not glued to the other layers.
  • the central element has an opening 23 whose width mainly corresponds to the longest diameter of the opening 18 in the first layer.
  • the central element opening 23 is limited by a half-circular portion 24 at its upper part which via parallel side edge parts 25 continues into a triangular or arc-shaped tongue 26 at its rearpart.
  • the tongue 26 extends toward the center or middle of the central element opening 23.
  • the opening 23 of the central element 13 is designed such that the rear part of the opening 23, as seen in the direction of movement of the central element from an open to a closed position, is provided with an extending portion whose central or middle section is positioned more forward, as seen in the moving direction, than the adjacent side edge parts of the opening 23.
  • An upper position 27 of the central element 21 serves as a handle or grip part for the central element.
  • the elongated edge portions 22 each comprise an upper portion 28, whose side edge serves as a guide for a main part 29 of the central element, and an L-shaped rearportion 30.
  • abutment portions 31 and 32 are formed for two outwardly extending tabs 33 of the central element.
  • the elongated edge portions 22 are glued to the first and third layers.
  • the third layer 14, as shown in Fig. 4 comprises a mainly rectangular plate with a circular opening 34 whose diameter mainly corresponds to the largest diameter of the circular bending line 20 in the first layer.
  • the opening 34 is partly covered by the flexible membrane 16 and the membrane opening 17 is arranged centrally in the opening 34.
  • the third layer 14 on the side having the membrane 16 is glued to the elongated edge portions 22 of the second layer, and the elongated edge portions are glued to the first layer 12.
  • the dust container operates in the following manner.
  • the collar When inserted into the vacuum cleaner, the collar is pushed into guides arranged in the space in the vacuum cleaner where the dust container is positioned.
  • the inlet sleeve of the vacuum cleaner enters through the membrane opening such that the membrane surrounds the inlet sleeve and seals against it.
  • the inlet sleeve is an oval tube with suitable dimensions, the inlet sleeve will rest against the oval edges of the inlet opening 15 (i.e., against the edge portions which are defined by tabs 19 of the first layer).
  • the tabs 19 will be pushed aside by the sleeve such that the inlet sleeve instead rests against the circular edges of the inlet opening 15 (i.e., against the edge portions which are defined by the bending line 20 of the first layer and circular opening 34 of the third layer).
  • the cover to the space for the dust container is opened, the inlet sleeve is removed from the inlet opening 15, and the operator then grasps the grip part 27 of the dust container and pulls the plate shaped central element 21 upwards as shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the middle section of the tongue 26, as seen in the pulling direction, covers the opening of the flexible membrane 16 before the entire collar and hence the dust container is lifted out from the vacuum cleaner.
  • the plate-shaped central element 21 does not have to cover the entire inlet opening 15, but only the flexible membrane opening 16. Consequently, the problem related to the conventional guillotine arrangement is avoided where the opening of the central element (i.e., the guillotine) sticks at the surrounding edge portions of the collar before the membrane opening has been completely covered.
