Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Staubsauger, insbesondere Bodenstaubsauger, mit einem Gehäuse und einem wenigstens teilweise die Längsseiten und/oder die Schmalseiten des Staubsaugers umgebenden und ein Oberteil und ein Unterteil des Staubsaugers miteinander verbindenden Stoßband und mit einem Saugschlauch.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, in particular Upright vacuum cleaner, with a housing and one at least partly the long sides and / or the narrow sides of the Vacuum cleaner surrounding and a top and a bottom of the Vacuum cleaner interconnecting bumper and with a Suction hose.

Aus der DE 33 30 201 C2 ist ein Bodenstaubsauger mit einer einen Handgriff bildenden durchgehenden Durchgrifföffnung im Bereich einer kurzen frontseitigen Schmalseite des Gehäuses und mit einer an der Außenkontur des Handgriffs bis zu den angrenzenden langen Schmalseiten des Gehäuses geführten Stoßleiste bekannt. Der Stoßleiste ist ein Ansatz zugeordnet, der zumindest über eine Teilfläche der dem Handgriff zugeordneten Schmalseite reicht.From DE 33 30 201 C2 is a canister vacuum cleaner with a a handle forming through passage opening in Area of a short front narrow side of the housing and with one on the outer contour of the handle up to the Guided adjacent long narrow sides of the housing Bumper strip known. The bumper is assigned an approach, the at least over a partial area of the handle associated narrow side is enough.

Die Stoßleiste hat bei bekannten Bodenstaubsaugern und auch bei dem aus der DE 33 30 201 C1 bekannten Staubsauger eine Schutzfunktion für die Gegenstände, gegen die der Staubsauger während seiner Fortbewegung durch den Benutzer anstößt, und für den Staubsauger selbst.The bumper has in known vacuum cleaners and also at the vacuum cleaner known from DE 33 30 201 C1 a Protective function for the objects against which the vacuum cleaner as it moves through the user, and for the vacuum cleaner itself.

Andererseits ist es bekannt, Zubehörteile am Staubsauger unterzubringen. Einerseits ist hierfür insbesondere bei Bodenstaubsaugern ein durch einen Klappdeckel verschließbarer Stauraum innerhalb des Oberteil des Staubsaugers vorgesehen. Es sind aber auch Staubsauger bekannt, bei denen der Saugschlauch durch an der Oberfläche des Staubsaugers vorgesehene Konturen gehalten werden soll. Problematisch hieran ist, dass sich der Saugschlauch aufgrund des Umstands, dass er sehr sperrig ist und nur eine verhältnismäßig geringe Elastizität hat, leicht wieder aus diesen Konturen löst, insbesondere gerade während des Transports des Staubsaugers, so dass der Transportvorgang erst unterbrochen werden muss, um den Saugschlauch erneut zu fixieren. Ebenso ist es schwierig, den Staubsauger zu tragen, wenn der Saugschlauch nicht untergebracht ist.On the other hand, it is known accessories on the vacuum cleaner accommodate. On the one hand, this is especially at Underground vacuum cleaners can be closed by a hinged lid Storage space provided within the upper part of the vacuum cleaner. It But vacuum cleaners are also known in which the suction hose by contours provided on the surface of the vacuum cleaner should be kept. The problem with this is that the Suction hose due to the fact that it is very bulky and has only a relatively low elasticity, light again releases from these contours, especially while the transport of the vacuum cleaner, so that the transport process must first be interrupted to the suction hose again fix. Likewise, it is difficult to carry the vacuum cleaner, if the suction hose is not housed.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Möglichkeit zur sicheren Unterbringung und Befestigung von Gegenständen, insbesondere von Zubehörteilen, an einem Staubsauger zu schaffen.It is the object of the invention to provide a way to secure Housing and attachment of objects, in particular of accessories, to create a vacuum cleaner.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Staubsauger der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass die Stoßleiste aus einem elastischen Material besteht und an die Ober- und/oder Unterseite des Staubsaugers anlegbar ist und dass wenigstens ein Gegenstand, insbesondere der Saugschlauch, zwischen der Ober- bzw. der Unterseite des Staubsaugers und der an der Oberseite bzw. der Unterseite angelegten Stoßleiste fixierbar ist.This object is achieved in a vacuum cleaner of the invention The aforementioned type solved by the fact that the bumper an elastic material and to the top and / or Bottom of the vacuum cleaner can be applied and that at least an object, in particular the suction hose, between the Top or the bottom of the vacuum cleaner and the at the Can be fixed on the top or the bottom of the applied bumper is.

Durch die Erfindung wird eine dauerhafte Fixierung von Gegenständen zwischen einer Außenfläche des Staubsaugers und dem elastisch an dieser anliegenden Stoßleiste geschaffen. Dabei lässt sich insbesondere auch ein Saugschlauch platzsparend an dem Staubsauger unterbringen.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen. The invention provides a permanent fixation of objects between an outer surface of the vacuum cleaner and the resiliently applied to this bumper. In particular, a suction hose can be accommodated in a space-saving manner on the vacuum cleaner.
Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.

Von Vorteil ist ein Staubsauger, bei dem die Stoßleiste an mindestens zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Stellen des Staubsaugers zwischen dem Oberteil und dem Unterteil nicht-abziehbar festgelegt ist. Statt lediglich zwei einander gegenüberliegende Stellen vorzusehen, an denen die Stoßleiste nicht abziehbar ist, können auch vier Stellen vorhanden sein, so dass sich ein erster Teil der Stoßleiste von der griffseitigen Schmalseite her zur Oberseite des Staubsaugers hochziehen lässt und sich andererseits ein zweiter Teil der Stoßleiste von der der griffseitigen Schmalseite gegenüberliegenden Schmalseite dehnen und nach oben zur Oberseite herüberziehen lässt.An advantage is a vacuum cleaner, where the bumper at least two opposite points of the Vacuum cleaner between the upper part and the lower part non-removable is fixed. Instead of just two each other provide opposite points where the bumper is not deductible, there may also be four places so that a first part of the bumper from the handle side narrow side ago to the top of the vacuum cleaner pull up and on the other hand a second part of the Bumper strip from the handle side narrow side stretch opposite narrow side and up to the Pull over top.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung umgibt die Stoßleiste das Gehäuse des Staubsaugers form- und/oder kraftschlüssig.In a further advantageous embodiment surrounds the Bumper molding the housing of the vacuum cleaner shape and / or a force fit.

Als vorteilhaft erweist sich auch eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, bei der die Stoßleiste in ihrem Inneren aus einem elastischen Kunststoff oder aus Gummi besteht und wenigstens auf ihrer Außenseite einen textilen Bezug aufweist. Der textile Bezug verhindert, dass bei einer Reibbewegung zwischen der Stoßleiste und einem festen Gegenstand, insbesondere der Wand eines Raums, ein durch den Kunststoff der Stoßleiste erzeugter Abrieb auf dem Gegenstand zurückbleibt.Also advantageous is an embodiment of the Invention in which the bumper strip in its interior from a elastic plastic or rubber and at least has on its outside a textile cover. The textile Cover prevents rubbing between the Bumper strip and a solid object, especially the wall of a room, one produced by the plastic of the bumper Abrasion on the object remains.

Mit Vorteil sorgen auf der Oberseite und/oder auf der Unterseite des Staubsaugers angebrachte und an den zwischen der Oberseite bzw. der Unterseite und der Stoßleiste zu fixierenden Gegenstand angepasste Konturen dafür, dass der zwischen der Oberfläche des Staubsaugers und der Unterseite der Stoßleiste befestigte Gegenstand nicht verrutscht. Provide an advantage on the top and / or on the Bottom of the vacuum cleaner and attached to the between the Top or the bottom and the bumper to be fixed Subject-adapted contours that between the Surface of the vacuum cleaner and the bottom of the bumper fixed object does not slip.

Insbesondere erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, wenn der Staubsauger auf seiner Oberseite ein Paar kreis- oder spiralförmig verlaufender Wülste oder Erhebungen aufweist, zwischen denen sich ein Saugschlauch hineinlegen lässt. Aber auch andere Gegenstände wie zu dem Staubsauger gehörende Zubehörteile, insbesondere Bodendüsen, Polsterbürsten und andere an die Form der abzusaugenden Gegenstände speziell angepasste Bürsten, lassen sich zwischen der Oberfläche des Staubsaugers und der auf dieser aufliegenden Stoßleiste befestigen. Ebenso lassen sich auch das Saugrohr oder einzelne Teile des Saugrohrs oder gebogene Rohrstücke, insbesondere zum Anschluss an die Saugdüse, auf der Oberfläche des Staubsaugers haltern. Damit werden im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik stabile Befestigungen auch für sperrige, zum Staubsauger zugehörige Teile geschaffen, die es gestatten, den Staubsauger zusammen mit den an ihm befestigten Teilen zu tragen oder zu rollen.In particular, it proves to be advantageous if the Vacuum cleaner on its top a pair of circular or having spirally extending beads or protrusions, between which a suction hose can be inserted. But also other items such as belonging to the vacuum cleaner Accessories, in particular floor nozzles, upholstery brushes and other specifically to the shape of the objects to be sucked off adjusted brushes, can be placed between the surface of the Vacuum cleaner and on this resting bumper Fasten. Likewise, also the suction pipe or individual Parts of the suction pipe or bent pipe sections, in particular for Connection to the suction nozzle, on the surface of the vacuum cleaner holders. This will be unlike the prior art stable attachments also for bulky, to the vacuum cleaner created associated parts that allow the vacuum cleaner to wear or to share with the parts attached to it roll.

Durch die Befestigung auf der Oberfläche sind auch die sperrigen Zubehörteile des Staubsaugers wie das Saugrohr oder dessen Bestandteile und der Saugschlauch platzsparend untergebracht, und es ist möglich, den Staubsauger zusammen mit seinem Zubehör auf engem Raum unterzubringen.By attaching to the surface are also the bulky accessories of the vacuum cleaner like the suction pipe or its components and the suction hose save space housed, and it is possible to use the vacuum cleaner together to accommodate his accessories in a small space.
