Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, in particular vacuum cleaner, with a housing and a surrounding at least partially the longitudinal sides and / or the narrow sides of the vacuum cleaner and an upper part and a lower part of the vacuum cleaner together with a baffle and a suction hose.
  • a canister vacuum cleaner with a handle forming through-through opening in the region of a short front narrow side of the housing and known with a guided on the outer contour of the handle to the adjacent long narrow sides of the housing bumper.
  • the bumper is associated with an approach that extends at least over a partial surface of the handle associated narrow side.
  • the bumper has in known vacuum cleaners and also in the from the DE 33 30 201 C1 known vacuum cleaner a protective function for the objects against which the vacuum cleaner during its movement by the user abuts, and for the vacuum cleaner itself.
  • this object is achieved in a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned above in that the bumper is made of an elastic material and can be applied to the top and / or bottom of the vacuum cleaner and that at least one object, in particular the suction hose, between the upper and .
  • the underside of the vacuum cleaner and the attached at the top and bottom bumper is fixable.
  • the invention provides a permanent fixation of objects between an outer surface of the vacuum cleaner and the resiliently applied to this bumper.
  • a suction hose can be accommodated in a space-saving manner on the vacuum cleaner.
  • An advantage is a vacuum cleaner, in which the bumper is fixed non-removable at least two opposite points of the vacuum cleaner between the upper part and the lower part. Instead of providing only two opposing locations where the bumper strip is not removable, also four points may be present, so that a first part of the bumper can pull up from the handle side narrow side to the top of the vacuum cleaner and on the other hand, a second part of the bumper stretch from the narrow side of the handle side opposite narrow side and pull up to the top over.
  • the bumper surrounds the housing of the vacuum cleaner form and / or non-positively.
  • the bumper strip is made in its interior of an elastic plastic or rubber and at least on its outer side has a textile cover.
  • the textile cover prevents that during a rubbing movement between the bumper and a solid object, in particular the wall of a room, an abrasion generated by the plastic of the bumper remains on the object.
  • the top and / or on the bottom of the vacuum cleaner attached and adapted to the between the top or bottom and the bumper to be fixed object contours that the attached between the surface of the vacuum cleaner and the bottom of the bumper object not slip.
  • the vacuum cleaner has on its upper side a pair of circular or spirally extending beads or elevations, between which a suction hose can be inserted.
  • other items such as the vacuum cleaner belonging accessories, especially floor nozzles, upholstery brushes and other specially adapted to the shape of the objects to be sucked brushes, can be fixed between the surface of the vacuum cleaner and resting on this bumper.
  • the suction pipe or individual parts of the suction pipe or bent pipe sections, in particular for connection to the suction nozzle can be supported on the surface of the vacuum cleaner.
  • stable fasteners are also created for bulky, the vacuum cleaner associated parts that allow to carry the vacuum cleaner together with the parts attached to it or to roll.
  • the attachment to the surface also saves space in the bulky accessories of the vacuum cleaner, such as the suction tube or its components and the suction hose, and it is possible to place the vacuum cleaner and its accessories in a small space.
  • a canister vacuum cleaner 1 ( Fig. 1, 2 ) comprises a lower or bottom part 2, in which the wheels 3 are integrated.
  • the bottom part 2 is covered by an upper part 4, which can be folded down either as a whole or partly upwards, in order to allow the replacement of a dust bag or of another container receiving the dust.
  • the upper part 4 comprises a handle 5 via a connecting piece 6 and a suction hose 7 is connected to the upper part 4.
  • a circumferential bumper 8 is provided between the bottom part 2 and the upper part 4, which consists at least mainly of an elastic material.
  • the bumper or the bumper strip 8 is fixed to two mutually symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder vacuum cleaner 1 holding points 9 with respect to the upper part 4 and the bottom part 2.
  • attachment points 9 can be a front Part 10 of the bumper strip 8 first a little forward in the direction of an arrow A and then pull upwards in the direction of an arrow B from the housing of the vacuum cleaner 1, so that the portion 10 spans the upper part 4 after releasing the bumper 8.
  • the force exerted by the bumper 8 on the upper part 4 pressing force is sufficient to various parts, in particular accessories of the vacuum cleaner 1, safely between the bottom of the bumper strip 1 and the upper part 4, in particular during transport of the vacuum cleaner 1 to store.
  • the suction hose 7 can be fixed on the top 4 once or multiple wound lying by the bumper strip 8 in its front portion 10. In this case, the suction hose 7 remain connected to the connecting piece 6 and thus also with the serving for receiving the connecting piece 6 lid opening, so that it is already available in the connected position for the next suction.
  • the holder of the suction hose 7 or other accessories can be supported by the fact that on the upper part 4 to the suction hose 7 or to the other accessories adapted contours 11 are arranged between the beads of the suction hose 7 is inserted.
  • the removal of the front portion 10 of the bumper 8 is facilitated by an introduced into the upper part 4 recess 12 which is sufficiently large that an operator can reach into it with his hand in order to remove the bumper 8.
  • the bumper 8 is slightly clamped between the lower part 2 and the upper part 4 set ( Fig. 3a ).
  • the bumper 8 At the stops 9 ( Fig. 3b ) is the bumper 8 by an example H-shaped training its cross-section, positively fixed between the lower part 2 and the upper part 4 so that they can not be pulled out when their front portion 10 is subtracted from the vacuum cleaner 1 to hang it on the top.
  • the bumper 8 ' is in the area in which it can be deducted from the housing of the vacuum cleaner, in a formed by the outer contour of the bottom part 2' and the upper part 4 'trough 13. To prevent abrasion of the bumper 8' points these on their exposed side a textile cover 14.
  • a vacuum cleaner 15 has a likewise between its bottom part 16 and its upper part 17 encircling bumper strip 18 which is fixed in a region 19 and in two areas 20, 21 is folded up to accessories and the suction hose or the suction pipe between the bumper 18 and the upper part 17 to fix.
  • the bumper 8, 18 are also folded to the bottom side when the vacuum cleaner 1, 15 is set up or is rolled on his wheels 3 and 22 respectively.
