Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner bag having a bottom from which circumferentially extending side walls to form an interior space in one direction, wherein the bottom has a substantially rectangular base portion.
  • a dust filter bag in which on a front wall an inlet opening is recessed, which is surrounded by flexible filter material made of weldable material.
  • the dust filter bag should have a large internal volume in the inflated state, for which purpose lateral projections are formed on the side walls, so that the volume can be increased.
  • a disadvantage of such vacuum cleaner bags is that they can be adapted in the form of bad to corresponding chambers in vacuum cleaners. In addition, formed by the seam guide areas that are particularly heavily loaded and where damage may occur. If the vacuum cleaner bags are folded, it may happen that they open poorly and do not unfold their effect.
  • vacuum cleaner bags with a so-called block bottom, in which a rectangular bottom is formed, from which a flexible bag protrudes substantially perpendicular in one direction.
  • a block bottom in which a rectangular bottom is formed, from which a flexible bag protrudes substantially perpendicular in one direction.
  • inner folds are provided, so that the bag on the one hand can be adapted well to a fit of a chamber in a dust cleaner and on the other hand, a slight opening is possible.
  • the inner fold reduces the space in the vacuum cleaner bag and also the production of the vacuum cleaner bag is relatively expensive.
  • the GB 1029980 discloses a vacuum cleaner bag which is unfolded for filling from a flat shape into a substantially parallelepipedic position. For this purpose, a plurality of folding edges are formed on opposite sides.
  • a protruding portion is formed, which is foldable on the base portion for a storage position.
  • the bag in the storage position may have a small volume and then, when inflated, have a large internal space in which sufficient dust can be collected.
  • the vacuum cleaner bag is easily adaptable in shape to a chamber in a vacuum cleaner, as extend from the bottom, the side walls in one direction, preferably substantially at right angles, so that a corresponding unfolding and filling an interior space is easily possible.
  • the vacuum cleaner bag can optionally be made of one or more webs.
  • a protruding portion is formed on opposite sides of the base portion at the bottom, so that a corresponding unfolding is possible on both sides.
  • the vacuum cleaner bag may be formed symmetrically to a median plane, so that it is easy to install.
  • the protruding portion is preferably formed substantially triangular. At the lateral tip of this triangle can start a side edge, which is formed between two side wall portions. This outer side edge can then be folded in the stored storage position within the side walls and in a position of use to the outside and then protrude laterally. Accordingly, the projecting portion of the soil is folded or unfolded.
  • an inflow opening is formed on the base portion of the floor or in a side wall. This can be connected to a nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, wherein a holding plate may be fixed around the inflow opening, which facilitates assembly.
  • the side walls may be connected to each other on the opposite side to the floor to form an interior.
  • the filter material of the vacuum cleaner bag consists of a weldable material, such as nonwoven fabric, a corresponding weld can be formed.
  • a rounded or bevelled portion is preferably provided, so that the vacuum cleaner bag can be opened particularly easily.
  • the vacuum cleaner bag can optionally be made of one or more nonwoven webs.
  • a vacuum cleaner bag 1 comprises a bottom 2, which has a base portion 3 which is formed substantially rectangular in shape, and on opposite sides protruding portions 4, which are triangular in shape and are connected via a folding edge 7 with the base portion 3.
  • a base portion 3 of the bottom 2 an inflow opening 5 is provided into which a nozzle of a vacuum cleaner can be inserted, wherein the inflow opening 5 is surrounded by a holding plate 6.
  • the vacuum cleaner bag 1 may consist essentially of one or more layers of nonwoven fabric which is welded together at connecting areas.
  • the vacuum cleaner bag 1 may be formed as a paper bag, wherein the holding plate 6 may also be made of cardboard or plastic.
  • the block bottom may also be formed of a filter material or a material with higher rigidity.
  • the protruding portion 4 forms on opposite sides in each case a tip 8, which is followed by a side edge 9, which is formed between two side wall portions 11.
  • the side wall portions 11 are formed in the region of the bottom 2 at an angle to a side wall portion 10, which connects with a longitudinal edge 14 of the base portion 3.
  • the side wall portion 11 adjoins a side edge 15 formed between the side wall portion 11 and the protruding portion 4.
  • the side wall portions 10 and 11 extend substantially perpendicular to the bottom 2 with the base portion 3 and the protruding portions 4.
  • a side edge 12 is also formed, which extends to an edge 13 which are arranged on the opposite side to the bottom 2.
  • the side wall portions 10 and 11 are connected to each other, wherein a corresponding weld or adhesive seam can be provided.
  • a rounded portion 16 is provided, which facilitates the deployment of the vacuum cleaner bag 1 and also avoids a dead space in the corner.
  • FIG. 2 the vacuum cleaner bag 1 is shown in the folded state.
  • the side edge 9 is arranged within the opposite side wall portions 10, wherein equally the laterally arranged portions 4 are folded and rest on the base portion 3.
  • the bottom 2 is essentially divided into three sections, namely on opposite sides of the folded portions 4 are arranged and in the middle of the holding plate 6 is provided with the inflow opening 5.
  • the invisible folding edges 9 and 15 are shown in dashed lines.
  • the vacuum cleaner bag 1 In the folded state, the vacuum cleaner bag 1 is compact and can be well stored and transported. For the position of use, the However, protruding portions 4 easily fold outward and the Staubsaugerbeute 1 forms a large internal volume. In addition, the shape of a substantially cuboidal chamber in a suction sucker is easily adaptable.
  • the base 2 may be formed with the base plate 3 and the portions 4 made of a material having a higher rigidity than the side wall portions 10 and 11.
  • the bottom 2 also mounting aids and guide elements may be provided.
  • the vacuum cleaner bag can be made entirely of the same material.
  • the protruding portions 4 are triangular in shape. Of course, it is also possible to vary the geometry of the protruding portion 4 and to provide curves. In addition, the section 4 may also be formed as a trapezoid or with a rounded tip 8.
