Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner Upright type with a torso with dust collector, with a bottom unit which is movable by a chassis on the surface to be cleaned and which comprises a motor driven by a brush roller, wherein the upper body relative to the bottom unit is mounted at least pivotally and can be locked in a parked position, in which the vacuum cleaner assumes a substantially vertical position on the surface to be cleaned, with an engine fan for generating a negative pressure acting on the surface to be cleaned, and with an air line leading from the ground unit into the dust collector, which has an interface and fluidly behind the interface comprises a trained as a hose or tube-tube combination component that is laid out halterbar outside of the upper body and after separation in the interface one of the bottom unit u nsonen suction operation allows, wherein the drive motor of the brush roller can be switched off in the independent of the ground unit suction.
  • the following describes three types of vacuum cleaner that differ in their construction and operation. As common features all have a motor-driven blower, a dust collection room and one or more adapted to the particular purpose tillage equipment.
  • the vacuum cleaner has a housing which is movable on rollers and / or skids on the ground to be processed.
  • the engine fan and the dust collector are arranged in the housing.
  • the soil treatment device - here called floor nozzle - is connected via a suction hose, possibly with an intermediate suction pipe with the dust collection chamber.
  • the housing is brought into the desired position during the suction process by pulling on the suction tube.
  • the motor fan and the dust collector are also arranged in a housing. From the housing extends on one side of a suction pipe, which connects a floor nozzle with the dust collector, and on the other hand, a handle with which the housing is maneuvered into the desired position.
  • An essential feature of an upright is a movable floor unit, which carries a torso with a large dust collector.
  • the two parts are pivotally mounted to each other and usually fixable in a parking position in which the upper body is approximately vertical, when the ground unit in the use position on a horizontal ground is located. In this position, the upright is automatic.
  • this locking is released and tilted the upper body by a certain angle in a working position. The swivel angle depends on the one hand on the size of the user and on the other hand from the respective use.
  • a handle on the upper body is used to guide the entire device.
  • the air line has an interface and fluid behind the interface formed as a hose or hose-tube combination component, see for example WO 2007/008770 A1 or EP 0 708 613 B1 .
  • a piece of pipe is held in a plug-in receptacle in most cases.
  • different suction attachments can be placed on the suction end and the resulting arrangement can be used as in a conventional vacuum cleaner.
  • the upright is in most cases in the park position where the upper body is locked to the ground unit.
  • switches are provided which detect the detent position and disconnect the brush motor from the power supply.
  • the invention thus raises the problem to improve a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned in that in a suction operation with the hose or hose-pipe combination outside the parking position an excessive stress on the footprint of the bottom unit is prevented.
  • the achievable with the present invention consist in the greatest possible protection of the floor covering under the ground unit even in those cases where the upright is not in the parking position is located. In addition, overheating of the brush motor is avoided and energy saved.
  • the means are designed as switching cams arranged on the hose or on the hose-pipe combination and as switches arranged in the upper body.
  • the switching cam may be formed as arranged on a pipe grip hook and the switch can be arranged behind a breakthrough in a receptacle for the pipe handle. In this way, in addition to the shutdown a guide aid is generated when hanging the pipe handle and guarantees the safe whereabouts of the handle in the designated receptacle.
