Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dry and/or wet vacuum cleaner, particularly with water filtering.
  • wet and/or dry vacuum cleaners are substantially divided into two categories: pulling appliances and appliances called "electric brooms”.
  • all functional elements such as suction means, steam production, filtering and collection of the sucked solids or liquids, are housed into a body resting on wheel, so as to be pulled, said body being connectable to a hose to which several fixtures are connected, usable alternately when needed.
  • the functional elements are applied to a handle and/or to a sliding base located at the end of said broom.
  • Document DE 196 17 066 discloses a dry vacuum cleaner comprising a body mounted on a trolley and housing first means for collecting and filtering solids and suction means, wherein said body can be associated to at least one suction fixture.
  • the body is removable from the trolley and the suction fixture, for being connected to another suction fixture and to a handle to be used as an electric broom.
  • this reference does not allow to obtain a hand-operable vacuum cleaner from the motor of the main unity.
  • object of the present invention is that of proposing a dry and/or wet vacuum cleaner which should be very versatile.
  • such appliance is configured and provided with a series of fixtures to be transformed from a pulling appliance to an electric broom, from a shoulder vacuum cleaner and vice versa, according to the needs.
  • the dry and/or wet vacuum cleaner comprises a body housing first means for collecting and filtering liquids and/or solids and suction means, wherein said body can be associated to at least one suction and/or washing fixtures, said appliance being characterised in that said suction means comprises a motor assembly removable from said body and adapted for receiving second means for collecting solids and/or liquids to operate as vacuum cleaner itself.
  • reference numeral 10 globally denotes the body of a dry and/or wet vacuum cleaner. Body 10 rests on wheels 11 so as to be pulled.
  • the body houses two side tanks 12 containing water and/or detergent, a central tank 13 for collecting water and/or solids, and steam production means, for example a boiler 14.
  • the central tank 13 can also operate as water filter and is easy to remove from body 10 for emptying and cleaning it.
  • connection 15 for connecting a hose 16 at the free end of which it is possible to attach various fixtures for sucking and/or washing, such as an inlet 17, a brush 18, an electric carpet sweeper. More in detail, connection 15 comprises a first inlet 19 for attaching a pipe for sucking solids and/or liquids, a second inlet 20, of smaller diameter, for attaching a pipe for dispensing steam or water and/or detergent, and a multipolar socket 21 for the electric connection of the appliance to a remote control provided on handle 16' of hose 16.
  • body 10 is also provided with at least one pump 22 for the continuous refilling of boiler 14 and for injecting water and/or detergent into the washing fixtures.
  • the suction function of the appliance is performed by a motor assembly 23 connected to body 10.
  • the motor assembly 23 is removably attached to an opening 24 obtained in a rear niche of body 10 so as to be accessible from the outside to be conveniently removed from body 10.
  • the motor assembly is directly powered by the mains through a cable 25 which, for example, can be inserted in a gripping handle 26 provided onto the same motor assembly.
  • the motor when the motor is applied to body 10 it transmits the electric power into body 10, in particular to boiler 14, through an electric connection between a multipolar socket 27 provided on the motor assembly and an electric plug 28 provided on body 10, for example next to opening 24.
  • a container 29 for filters 29' for dust recovery and one of the fixtures supplied with the appliance mentioned above can be applied to the motor assembly.
  • a belt can be attached to the motor assembly with fixtures.
  • the motor assembly can thus become a small but powerful vacuum cleaner, an electric broom and a shoulder vacuum cleaner.
  • the technology used to realise the appliance allows using a low consumption motor assembly which however exhibits a very high suction efficiency, and is especially light so as to be easily moved.
