Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle for smooth floors and textile floor coverings.
  • Vacuum cleaner nozzles the sealing elements
  • the sealing elements are known in practice have which as bristle strips or elastomeric strips can be formed.
  • sucking Textile floor coverings are the sealing elements in the interior of the housing retracted, and the sliding sole lies on the Flooring on.
  • the sealing elements are used to vacuum smooth floors with an actuating movement of the seal carrier extended on the underside of the nozzle and support the upper part of the housing on the floor.
  • the seal carrier is often formed as a metal plate, the vertical in the upper part of the housing is arranged adjustable and by means of a Support plate acting rocker arm against the action of Return springs can be lowered DE 196 28 070 A1).
  • the production such vacuum cleaner nozzles is comparative consuming.
  • the invention is based on the object a simple and inexpensive vacuum cleaner nozzle for smooth floors and textile floor coverings, which also a good cleaning effect when vacuuming smooth floors achieved.
  • a vacuum cleaner nozzle for smooth floors and textile floor coverings a housing consisting of an upper housing part and a sliding sole, a rocker mounted rotatably within the housing on a rearward section in the working direction and a shift lever for actuating the rocker, where strip-shaped sealing elements are attached to the rocker, which are arranged in the working direction in front of and behind a suction mouth formed into the sliding sole and can be moved in and out through openings on the underside of the housing with a pivoting movement of the rocker.
  • the swing arm allows a simple and therefore inexpensive construction of the nozzle. Due to the sealing elements arranged in front of and behind the suction mouth in the working direction, a very good sealing effect is achieved when vacuuming smooth floors, so that the vacuum cleaner nozzle according to the invention also has a good cleaning effect on this surface.
  • the swing arm made of a truss-like molded plastic part, which is a rod with cylindrical bearing surfaces, parallel to it Profile strips for fastening the sealing elements as well as cross members connecting the rod and the profile strips has, the cross member on both sides of a suction channel are arranged, the inside of the housing up to one Opening in the suction mouth extends.
  • the Swing arm guided on pegs that extend from the sliding sole to extend to the upper part of the housing and strip the housing.
  • the rocker is loaded by at least one return spring, designed as a torsion spring or coil spring can be. It is preferably on coil springs supported, which are arranged on the pin. hereby the construction of the vacuum cleaner nozzle is further simplified.
  • the rocker arm has a very high height Functional safety, especially when extending and retracting of the sealing elements.
  • the swing arm can have two on each side of the suction channel Have cross members, with the shift lever in the free space dips between adjacent cross beams and where also cooperating with the gear lever between the cross members Print areas are arranged.
  • the swing arm points despite the simple construction, a high stability and thus resilience. It also becomes a more compact Construction of the nozzle allows.
  • the shift lever consists of a rotatably mounted Shaft, at least one designed as a foot switch Button and molded cams, the Cams act on an assigned pressure surface of the rocker.
  • the shift lever is then very simple and inexpensive producible, for example also as one piece Injection molding. The construction described guarantees a simple and therefore safe interaction of Shift lever and swing arm.
  • the vacuum cleaner nozzle shown in the figures is on Smooth floors and textile floor coverings can be used immediately or with the interposition of a flexible line connectable to the suction side of a vacuum cleaner.
  • a housing 100 with a housing upper part 1 made of plastic and a plastic sliding sole 2 with a suction mouth 3 and one arranged within the upper housing part 1 so as to be adjustable Swing arm 4 with strip-shaped sealing elements 5, 5 ', the working direction in front of and behind the suction mouth 3 are arranged.
  • the sealing elements 5, 5 ' are with a pivoting movement of the rocker 4 through openings the underside of the housing 100 retractable and extendable.
  • the Nozzle further comprises a shift lever 6 consisting of a rotatably mounted shaft 7, at least one as a foot switch 8 trained button and molded Cam 9, each on a pressure surface 10 of the rocker 4 act, and on the rocker 4 acting return springs 11.
  • a suction channel 12 is formed on the upper housing part 1, the one connected to the sliding sole 2 at one end Has connector 13 and at the other end is designed as a joint shell 14 of a tilt joint 15.
  • the suction channel 12 forms a projection inside the the upper housing part 1 and the sliding sole 2 existing housing.
  • the suction mouth 3 consists of a in the sliding sole 2 molded flow channel 16, which extends from a central, opening 17 opening into the suction channel 12 extends transversely to the suction channel 12.
  • the rocker 4 is within the upper housing part 1 by one Axis 18 pivotally arranged and consists of a truss-like molded plastic part that acts as the first side member a rod 19 with cylindrical bearing surfaces, e.g. in the form of a continuous wave, and two in parallel the truss stiffening as further longitudinal beams 20, 20 'for connecting the sealing elements 5, 5' having.
  • the profile strips 20, 20 ' are in the working direction arranged in front of and behind the suction mouth 3, being on the front Profile strip 20 a bristle strip 5 and to the rear Profile bar 20 'a rubber lip 5' connected are.
  • the bristle strip 5 engages with a pivoting movement the swing arm 4 a gap between the sliding sole and the upper housing part 1.
  • the sealing lip 5 ' is through a slot in the one-piece sliding sole 2 retractable and extendable.
  • the one with cylindrical bearing surfaces e.g. rod 19 designed as a shaft is in a working direction rear section of the upper housing part 1 between the sliding sole 2 and integrally formed bearing webs 21 of the upper housing part 1 rotatably held.
  • the side members 19, 20, 20 ' are integrally formed by cross members 22 connected, which are arranged on both sides of the suction channel 12 are.
  • the sliding sole 2 is not on the upper housing part 1
  • Counter elements 25 attached.
  • the counter elements 25 are stubby cylindrical elements with mushroom head trained (Fig. 6).
  • the rocker 4 is on two of these by plug connections 23 formed pin guided and has molded support surfaces 26 for the return springs 11, each with one of guide recess 27 encompassing the associated pin on. It is apparent from FIG. 2 that the return springs 11 on the pin formed by the elements 24, 25 between the sliding sole 2 and the support surfaces 26 of the seal carrier 4 are arranged.
  • the 23 formed pin stiffen that from the sliding sole 2 and the housing upper part 1 existing housing of the vacuum cleaner nozzle and stabilize the sliding sole 2.
  • a majority of the Counter elements 25 are on a flat portion of the Sliding sole 2, which is in the working direction behind the suction mouth 3 connects, arranged.
  • the seal carrier has on both sides of the suction channel 12 each have two cross members 22, the distance between them is such that the foot switch 8 in immerses the space between adjacent cross members 22. Between the cross members 22 are also with the Shift lever 6 cooperating pressure surfaces 10 arranged.
  • the sliding sole 2 has 3 depressions in front of and behind the suction mouth on, in the thread lifter strips 30, z. B. from Slanted bristle velours are glued in. Furthermore one removes 4 that the tilt joint 15 has a continuous shaft axis 31 has impellers 32 attached to the ends thereof are.
  • the upper housing part 1, the sliding sole 2, the rocker 4 and the shift lever 6 are one-piece molded plastic parts, which are inexpensive to manufacture by injection molding and can be used without machining.
  • the Assembly will be the shift lever 6, the rocker 4 and the Return springs 11 positioned within the upper housing part. Then the plastic sliding sole 2 with the upper housing part 1 locked. Contains the vacuum cleaner nozzle no screws and can be fully automatic using Assembly systems can be manufactured inexpensively.
