Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a housing which has a dust chamber for receiving a filter bag and a suction connection, which is in flow connection with an inlet nozzle opening into the dust chamber, wherein a filter bag holder is arranged at the inlet nozzle to which the filter bag is mountable, wherein the Filter bag holder between a pivoted position in which the inlet nozzle engages through an opening of the filter bag holder, and a pivoted position in which the inlet nozzle is set back with respect to the opening of the filter bag holder, is pivoted back and forth.
  • Such vacuum cleaners are from the U.S. Patent No. 5,544,385 known.
  • the dust chamber can be acted upon by means of a suction unit of the vacuum cleaner with negative pressure, so that loaded with dirt and dust suction air can be sucked through the suction port and the inlet nozzle in the dust chamber.
  • a filter bag can be mounted on the filter bag holder into which the suction air is introduced. Dirt and dust particles are retained in the filter bag, whereas the suction air can penetrate the filter bag and this is filtered. The filtered suction air can then escape through conventional outlet openings from the housing of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the filter bag can be attached to the filter bag holder. This is for this purpose between a pivoted position and a pivoted position back and forth pivotable. In the pivoted position of the opening into the dust chamber inlet nozzle passes through the opening of Filter bag holder so that it dips into the filter bag mounted on the filter bag holder. In the deployed position, the inlet port is recessed with respect to the opening of the filter bag holder so that an empty filter bag can be mounted by the user on the filter bag holder and a filled filter bag can be removed from the filter bag holder.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned in such a way that the installation of a filter bag on the filter bag holder is easier.
  • the filter bag holder is automatically pivoted to the pivoted position as soon as the user releases the locking device. In the swung-out position, the user can then easily set the filter bag on the filter bag holder. Then he can pivot the filter bag holder together with the filter bag fixed to him against the force acting on the filter bag holder spring force in the pivoted position and lock in this position.
  • the vacuum cleaner according to the invention is thus characterized by easy handling when mounting a filter bag.
  • the filter bag holder has a holding member which is pivotally supported in the dust chamber and on which the filter bag can be mounted, and a pivot member which acts on the holding member with a spring force in the direction of its swung-out position.
  • the filter bag receiving retaining member can be pivoted by the pivot member exerts a spring force on the support member.
  • the filter bag holder is thus designed in several parts and comprises, on the one hand, the holding member pivotally held in the dust chamber and, on the other hand, the pivot member articulated on the holding member, which can be pivoted relative to the holding member.
  • At least one pivot spring is clamped between the pivot member and the support member.
  • the pivot spring can be exerted by the pivot member, a spring force on the support member.
  • the filter bag can be mounted on the filter bag holder.
  • the holding member has at least one receptacle for introducing a collar of the filter bag.
  • the holding member two spaced apart Has receptacles into each of which an edge portion of the collar of the filter bag can be introduced.
  • the collar of the filter bag can be applied flat to the holding member.
  • the holding member is designed plate-shaped.
  • pivot member is designed plate-shaped. It thus has a high mechanical strength.
  • the holding member is pivotally supported about a first pivot axis on a wall of the dust chamber and the pivot member is pivotally supported about a second pivot axis on the holding member, wherein the two pivot axes are aligned parallel to each other and arranged on opposite edge regions of the holding member ,
  • the first pivot axis is disposed below and the second pivot axis above the inlet nozzle.
  • the above the holding member arranged pivot member exercises in this case, starting from the pivoted Position of the holding member, a spring force on the same, through which it passes automatically after releasing the locking device in the pivoted position.
  • the locking device comprises in a preferred embodiment with cooperating locking elements which are arranged on the pivot member or on a wall of the dust chamber.
  • the pivot member assumes a dual function in such an embodiment.
  • the holding member is pivoted by means of the pivot member, and on the other hand, the pivot member has at least one locking element for locking the filter bag holder in the pivoted position.
  • a handle is arranged on the pivot member, with which the user can actuate the locking device.
  • the handle is preferably arranged on the edge remote from the second pivot axis of the pivot member.
  • the swivel member is associated with a contact region of the housing, on which the swivel member during the pivoting of the holding member slidingly abuts.
  • the abutment area forms an abutment for the pivot member, on which the pivot member can be supported during pivoting of the holding member.
  • the pivot member may thus rest on the one hand on the contact area and on the other hand be held pivotably on the holding member.
  • the contact area for the pivoting member is formed in a preferred embodiment of the edge of a dust chamber opening of the housing.
  • the filter bag can be inserted into the dust chamber and this also be removed again.
  • the edge of the dust chamber opening serves as a contact area for the pivot member, which can thus be supported on this edge during pivoting of the holding member.
  • the dust chamber opening of the housing can be closed by means of a lid. It is advantageous if the lid is held pivotably about a pivot axis on the housing. As a result, the handling of the vacuum cleaner is further simplified.
  • the pivot axis of the lid is aligned parallel to the pivot axis of the holding member. It has been shown that thereby a further simplification of the handling of the vacuum cleaner can be achieved.
  • the user can first pivot the lid of the dust chamber to the outside, so that it releases the dust chamber opening and the filter bag holder is accessible. After releasing its locking device, the filter bag holder pivots automatically into its pivoted position and the user can easily remove a filled filter bag from the filter bag holder and set a new filter bag on the filter bag holder.
  • the pivoting member projects outward beyond the edge of the dust chamber opening.
  • the protruding pivot member prevents inadvertent closing of the dust chamber opening, since the lid of the dust chamber opening can not be closed.
  • the over the edge of the dust chamber opening protruding pivot member signals the user thus intuitive that the filter bag holder is not yet in its pivoted position, which is required for the suction operation of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the filter bag holder has a securing element which blocks a pivoting of the filter bag holder in the pivoted position with the filter bag not mounted. It is thus prevented that the filter bag holder is inadvertently pivoted to the pivoted position without a filter bag was mounted on the filter bag holder.
  • a securing element which blocks a pivoting of the filter bag holder in the pivoted position with the filter bag not mounted. It is thus prevented that the filter bag holder is inadvertently pivoted to the pivoted position without a filter bag was mounted on the filter bag holder.
  • Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous when the lid of the dust chamber in the pivoted position of the filter bag holder is not closed. The user is thus signaled that he has to first mount a filter bag on the filter bag holder before closing the lid. Only then can the filter bag holder be pivoted in and then the lid closed.
  • the securing element is resiliently biased in a blocking position and by mounting a filter bag on the filter bag holder, the securing element can be converted into a release position. If a filter bag is mounted on the filter bag holder, then the securing element automatically goes into its release position and the filter bag holder can be easily pivoted by the user into the pivoted position. However, if no filter bag is mounted on the filter bag holder, the securing element automatically assumes a blocking position, in which it blocks a pivoting of the filter bag holder in the pivoted position.
  • the securing element can be designed, for example, as a pivotably mounted rocker arm. It is advantageous if a spring between the fuse element and a receiving this holder is clamped.
  • the securing element is preferably held on the holding member. It may for example be designed as a two-armed rocker arm, wherein in the pivoted-out position of the holding member, a first lever arm protrudes from the back of the holding member and a second lever arm from the front of the holding member. If a filter bag is mounted on the front side of the holding member, then the securing element is detected by the collar of the filter bag and pivoted so far that the two lever arms are aligned substantially parallel to the holding member and this can thus readily assume its pivoted position.
  • a vacuum cleaner 10 is shown with a housing 11 which is movable by means not shown in the drawing rollers on a floor surface to be cleaned along and on the upper side a carrying handle 12 is formed.
  • the housing 11 surrounds a dust chamber 14 and on the side facing away from the dust chamber 14, the housing 11 comprises an accessory chamber 15.
  • the dust chamber 14 is accessible from the outside via a dust chamber opening 17.
  • the dust chamber opening 17 can be closed by means of a dust chamber cover 18, which is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis 19 on the housing 12.
  • the pivot axis 19 is disposed adjacent a thrust ring 21, which carries a rubber-elastic coating and the housing 11 completely surrounds in a lower region in the circumferential direction.
  • the accessory chamber 15 can be closed by means of an accessory cover 23, which is mounted pivotably on the housing 11.
  • the accessory chamber 15 accommodates at least one accessory not shown in the drawing to obtain a better overview, for example a crevice nozzle of the vacuum cleaner 10.
  • the housing 11 has on the outside a suction port 25, to which a suction hose 27 can be connected.
  • the suction hose 27 is at its free End with a suction tube 28 releasably connectable, which carries at its free end a floor nozzle 29.
  • the suction port 25 is connected via a suction line, not shown in the drawing with an inlet port 31 in flow communication, which opens into the dust chamber 14.
  • the dust chamber 14 receives a known per se and therefore not shown in the drawing filter bag and can by means of a known per se and therefore not shown in the drawing suction unit, which is disposed within the housing 11, via a suction, at the inside of the dust chamber 14 is a filter element 33 is arranged, are subjected to negative pressure.

  • the inlet nozzle 31 is held on a rear wall 35 of the dust chamber 14, which is bounded on the upper side by a ceiling wall 36 and laterally by side walls 37 and 38.
  • the lower limit of the dust chamber 14 is effected by a bottom wall of the dust chamber 14, not shown in the drawing and on the outside, the dust chamber is covered by the dust chamber cover 18.
  • a filter bag holder 40 is pivotally held, which is shown enlarged in Figures 2, 3 and 4. It comprises a holding member in the form of a holding plate 41, which has a central opening 42 and is held by means of two pivotally aligned pivot pins 43, 44 on the rear wall 35 about a first pivot axis 46 pivotally.
  • the pivot axis 46 is disposed below the inlet nozzle 31 and the holding plate 41 is pivotable back and forth between a pivoted position shown in FIG. 3 in a solid line and a swung-out position shown in dashed lines in FIG.
  • the holding plate 41 In the pivoted-in position, the holding plate 41 is aligned parallel to the rear wall 35 and abuts against it flatly, with the inlet stub 31 reaching through the opening 42 of the holding plate 41.
  • the inlet pipe 31 is set back relative to the opening 42.
  • the holding plate 41 On its front side facing away from the rear wall 35, the holding plate 41 carries two spaced apart guide rails 48, 49 which are L-shaped in cross-section and respectively define a receptacle 51 and 52, in which a lateral edge region of a collar of the filter bag inserted may be for mounting the filter bag to the holding plate 41st

  • the pivot plate 54 defines the inside of the top wall 36 of the dust chamber 14, wherein the locking lug 59 in a corresponding latching receptacle 60 of the ceiling wall 36th dips.
  • the latching lug 59 thus forms in combination with the latching receptacle 60 a locking device with the aid of which the filter bag holder 40 can be locked in its pivoted-in position.
  • the pivot plate 14 carries a protruding over the edge 58 handle 62 which can be taken by the user in the pivoted position of the filter bag holder 40 to pivot the pivot plate 54 so far in the direction of the holding plate 41, that the locking receptacle 60 the Latch 59 releases.
  • the pivot plate 54 then slides automatically due to the spring force of the pivot spring 56 along the free edge 64 of the top wall 36, while the holding plate 41 is pivoted in the back wall 35 facing away from the front direction, so that the filter bag holder 40 automatically assumes its pivoted position.
  • the retaining plate 41 Laterally adjacent to the opening 42, the retaining plate 41 carries a securing element in the form of a two-armed rocker arm 66, which is counter to acting on him spring force of a tilt spring 67 which is clamped between the rocker arm 66 and the retaining plate 41, pivotable in a direction parallel to the retaining plate 41 tilted position is. If the filter bag holder 40 assumes its swung-out position and no filter bag is mounted on the front side of the holding plate 41, as shown by dashed lines in FIG.
  • the tilt lever 66 is pivoted by the tilt spring 67 in such a way that it is oriented substantially perpendicular to the holding plate 41 and consequently a front lever arm 68 protrudes from the front side of the holding plate 41 and a rear lever arm 69 protrudes from the rear side of the holding plate 41.
