The flexible tube has a length corresponding to the length of the first hose part in extended state. A spiral spring is integrated in the wall of the first hose part to readjust the first hose part automatically from extended state to shortened state. The first hose part and second hose part are variable in length. The flexible tube is connected at one end of the first hose part. The second hose part is connected at the other end of the first hose part.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Saugschlauch für Staubsauger, bestehend aus einem in der Länge variablen ersten Schlauchteil, in dessen Schlauchwand eine Spiralfeder integriert ist, welche das erste Schlauchteil selbsttätig aus einem verlängerten Zustand in einen verkürzten Zustand zurückstellt, aus einem zweiten, in der Länge nur geringfügig veränderbaren Schlauchteil, und aus einem Hüllteil zur Aufnahme des ersten Schlauchteils.The invention relates to a suction hose for vacuum cleaner, consisting of a variable in length first hose part, in the hose wall, a coil spring is integrated, which automatically resets the first hose part from an extended state to a shortened state, from a second, in length only slightly variable hose part, and a Hüllteil for receiving the first hose part.

Die Verwendung von Saugschläuchen mit einer dünnen Schlauchwand, in die eine Zugfedern integriert ist und die sich deshalb von einem verkürzten Zustand in einen verlängerten Zustand ziehen lassen, ist im Allgemeinen bei Bodenstaubsaugern des Upright-Typs bekannt. Dort werden solche Saugschläuche als zusätzliche Saugeinrichtung angeboten, um höher liegende Gegenstände reinigen zu können. Die Saugschläuche werden auch als Flexschläuche bezeichnet.The use of suction tubes with a thin tube wall, in which a tension spring is integrated and which can therefore be pulled from a shortened state to a prolonged state, is generally known in upright vacuum cleaners of the Upright type. There, such suction hoses are offered as additional suction to clean higher-lying items can. The suction hoses are also referred to as flexible hoses.

In der GB 2 310 369 A ist eine Ausführungsform eines Staubsaugers gezeigt, bei dem zwischen dem Handgriff eines Saugrohrs und dem End-Fitting ein Saugschlauch angeordnet ist, welcher aus einer Kombination eines Flexschlauchs mit einem herkömmlichen Saugschlauch, dessen Länge nur geringfügig veränderbar ist, besteht. Der Flexschlauch wird in seiner Parkposition im vollständig zusammengezogenen Zustand im Handgriff aufgenommen, dabei liegt der untere Bereich des Flexschlauchs frei.In the GB 2 310 369 A an embodiment of a vacuum cleaner is shown in which between the handle of a suction pipe and the end fitting, a suction hose is arranged, which consists of a combination of a flexible hose with a conventional suction hose whose length is only slightly variable. The flexible tube is received in its parked position in the fully contracted state in the handle, while the lower portion of the flexible tube is exposed.

Aus der DE 198 43 973 A1 und aus der DE 197 38 329 A1 sind Schlauchanordnungen bekannt, welche Flexschläuche mit integrierten Druckfedern verwenden und deswegen selbsttätig aus einer Parkposition in einem Hüllteil (Schlauch oder Rohr) in einen verlängerten Zustand übergehen.From the DE 198 43 973 A1 and from the DE 197 38 329 A1 Hose assemblies are known which use flexible hoses with integrated compression springs and therefore automatically go from a parking position in a Hüllteil (hose or pipe) in a prolonged state.

Die vorgenannten Anordnungen haben gemeinsam, dass der Flexschlauch im verlängerten Zustand wenigstens teilweise frei liegt. Dies hat folgenden Nachteil:

  • Um die gewünschte Flexibilität zu erreichen, muss die Schlauchwand der Flexschläuche aus einem sehr dünnen Kunststoff hergestellt werden, damit sie sich im zusammengezogenen Zustand zwischen den Gängen der Spiralfeder auffalten können. Dies führt dazu, dass der Schlauch während des Gebrauchs anfällig für Beschädigungen ist, insbesondere wenn er um scharfkantige Ecken gezogen wird.
The aforementioned arrangements have in common that the flexible tube is at least partially exposed in the extended state. This has the following disadvantage:
  • In order to achieve the desired flexibility, the hose wall of the flex hoses must be made of a very thin plastic, so that they can unfold in the contracted state between the gears of the coil spring. As a result, the hose is susceptible to damage during use, especially when it is pulled around sharp-edged corners.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, einen Saugschlauch der eingangs genannten Art zu offenbaren, welcher trotz Verlängerungsmöglichkeit vor Beschädigungen geschützt ist.The invention thus raises the problem of disclosing a suction hose of the type mentioned, which is protected from damage despite extension possibility.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch einen Saugschlauch mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a suction hose having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile ergeben sich dadurch, dass der Flexschlauch auch im maximal verlängerten Zustand durch das Hüllteil geschützt ist.The achievable with the invention advantages result from the fact that the flexible hose is protected by the Hüllteil in the maximum extended state.

Die Länge des Hüllteils beträgt zweckmäßigerweise ca. einen Meter. Dabei entspricht vorteilhafterweise die Länge des Hüllteils der Summe der Längen des ersten Schlauchteils im kürzest möglichen Zustand und des zweiten Schlauchteils. Hierdurch werden wenigstens bei zusammengezogenem Flexschlauch Übergänge von unterschiedlichem Durchmesser vermieden, welche beim Gebrauch an Kanten hängen bleiben können.The length of the Hüllteils is suitably about one meter. In this case, the length of the enveloping part advantageously corresponds to the sum of the lengths of the first tubular part in the shortest possible state and of the second tubular part. As a result, transitions of different diameters are avoided, at least when contracted Flex hose, which can get stuck on edges in use.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Hüllteil wenigstens teilweise als flexibler Hüllschlauch ausgebildet. Hierdurch bleibt es auch bei Längen von ca. einem Meter und mehr manövrierfähig.In a further advantageous embodiment, the Hüllteil is at least partially formed as a flexible Hüllschlauch. As a result, it remains maneuverable even with lengths of about one meter and more.

Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn an dem dem zweiten Schlauchteil zugeordneten Ende des Hüllteils Feststellmittel zur Arretierung des zweiten Schlauchteils angeordnet sind. Hierdurch kann der erste Schlauchteil im ausgezogenen Zustand fixiert und damit entlastet werden. Außerdem wird ein selbsttätiges Zusammenziehen des ersten Schlauchteils verhindert.It is particularly advantageous if locking means for locking the second hose part are arranged on the end of the enveloping part assigned to the second hose part. In this way, the first tube part can be fixed in the extended state and thus relieved. In addition, an automatic contraction of the first tube part is prevented.

In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform beinhalten die Feststellmittel mindestens einen am Ende des Hüllteils angeordneten, federbelasteten Hebelarm, welcher einen Rasthaken zum Eingriff in am zweiten Schlauchteil angeordnete Vertiefungen besitzt.In an expedient embodiment, the locking means comprise at least one, at the end of the Hüllteils arranged spring-loaded lever arm, which has a latching hook for engaging in the second tube part arranged recesses.

Der in Figur 1 im ausgezogenen Zustand gezeigte Saugschlauch besteht aus einem ersten Schlauchteil 1, einem zweiten Schlauchteil 2 und einem Hüllteil. Das erste Schlauchteil 1 besteht aus einem hochelastischen Kunststoffschlauch, z. B. dünnwandigem PVC, in dessen Schlauchwand eine Spiralfeder (nicht dargestellt) integriert ist. Die Spiralfeder steht derart unter Spannung, dass sie bestrebt ist, sich selbsttätig zusammenzuziehen. Hierdurch stellt sich das in die Länge gezogene Schlauchteil 1 ebenfalls selbsttätig in eine verkürzte Position zurück, wobei die Schlauchwand im Bereich zwischen den Spiralfedern aufgefaltet wird (nicht dargestellt). Die maximal erreichbare Länge des Innenteils entspricht der Länge der Schlauchwand im ungefalteten Zustand inklusive eines möglichen Dehnungsanteils. In der verkürzten Position beträgt die Länge des Innenteils ca. 30 cm. Die Schlauchwandlänge und ihre Elastizität ist derart ausgelegt, dass eine Verlängerung auf etwa das dreifache möglich ist.The in FIG. 1 In the extended state shown suction hose consists of a first tube part 1, a second tube part 2 and a Hüllteil. The first tube part 1 consists of a highly elastic plastic tube, z. B. thin-walled PVC, in the hose wall, a coil spring (not shown) is integrated. The coil spring is under tension so that it strives to contract automatically. As a result, the elongated tube part 1 also automatically returns to a shortened position, wherein the tube wall is unfolded in the region between the coil springs (not shown). The the maximum achievable length of the inner part corresponds to the length of the hose wall in the unfolded state including a possible amount of expansion. In the shortened position, the length of the inner part is about 30 cm. The hose wall length and its elasticity is designed so that an extension of about three times is possible.

Das zweite Schlauchteil 2 ist als herkömmlicher, in der Länge nur geringfügig veränderbarer Schlauch ausgebildet. Seine Schlauchwand besitzt eine spiral- oder kreisringförmige Riffelung 4. Die beiden Schlauchteile 1 und 2 sind durch geeignete Mittel (nicht dargestellt) miteinander verbunden. Das zweite Schlauchteil 2 besitzt eine Länge von ca. 70 cm. An seinem freien Ende ist ein Anschlussstück (nicht dargestellt) für den Handgriff 5 eines Saugrohrs 6 befestigt (s. a. Figur 4).The second tube part 2 is formed as a conventional, only slightly variable in length hose. Its tube wall has a spiral or annular corrugation 4. The two tube parts 1 and 2 are connected to each other by suitable means (not shown). The second tube part 2 has a length of about 70 cm. At its free end, a connecting piece (not shown) for the handle 5 of a suction tube 6 is attached (see also FIG FIG. 4 ).

Figur 2 zeigt den Saugschlauch mit eingezogenem ersten Schlauchteil 1. In diesem Zustand werden beide Schlauchteile 1 und 2 nahezu vollständig von dem Hüllteil umgeben, welches vorzugsweise als flexibler Hüllschlauch 3 ausgebildet ist. Der Hüllschlauch 3 besitzt eine Länge von ca. einem Meter, so dass er bei maximal eingezogenem ersten Schlauchteil 1 beide Schlauchteile 1 und 2 aufnimmt und bei maximal ausgezogenem ersten Schlauchteil 1 mindestens dieses Teil 1 auf seiner ganzen Länge umhüllt und schützt. Am unteren Ende ist das Hüllteil 3 mit dem ersten Schlauchteil derart verbunden, dass im Verbindungsbereich das erste Schlauchteil innerhalb des Hüllteils frei drehbar ist. Außerdem besitzt das Hüllteil dort einen Anschlussstutzen 7 (s. Figur 3) zur Ankupplung an einen Stausauger (nicht dargestellt). Am oberen Ende geht das Hüllteil 3 in ein Rohrstück 8 über, welches an beiden Seiten federbelastete Hebel 9 trägt. Die oberen Enden dieser Hebel 9 tragen Rasthaken 10, welche in die Vertiefungen der Riffelung 4 des zweiten Schlauchteils 2 eingreifen und so das erste Schlauchteil 1 im ausgezogenen Zustand (Figur 1) arretieren. FIG. 2 shows the suction hose with retracted first hose part 1. In this state, both hose parts 1 and 2 are almost completely surrounded by the Hüllteil, which is preferably designed as a flexible Hüllschlauch 3. The enveloping tube 3 has a length of about one meter, so that it absorbs both tube parts 1 and 2 with maximum retracted first tube part 1 and at maximum extended first tube part 1 at least this part 1 covers and protects its entire length. At the lower end, the Hüllteil 3 is connected to the first tube part such that in the connecting region, the first tube part is freely rotatable within the Hüllteils. In addition, the Hüllteil there has a connection piece 7 (s. FIG. 3 ) for coupling to a jam suction device (not shown). At the upper end of the Hüllteil 3 goes into a pipe section 8, which carries spring-loaded lever 9 on both sides. The upper ends of these levers 9 carry latching hooks 10, which engage in the recesses of the corrugation 4 of the second hose part 2 and thus the first hose part 1 in the extended state ( FIG. 1 ) lock.
