Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger (1) des Upright-Typs mit einem Oberkörper (3) mit Staubsammelbehälter, mit einer Bodeneinheit (2), welche durch ein Fahrwerk auf der zu reinigenden Fläche bewegbar ist, und mit einem in der Bodeneinheit (2) angeordneten Motorgebläse (11) zur Erzeugung eines auf die zu saugende Fläche wirkenden Unterdrucks, wobei Oberkörper (3) und Bodeneinheit (2) um eine im Gebrauchszustand horizontale Achse (X) zueinander verschwenkbar ausgebildet sind. Um einen einen robusten und trotzdem einfachen und leicht zu fertigenden Aufbau zu schaffen, erfolgt ein Teil der Luftführung von der Bodeneinheit (2) zum Oberkörper (3) durch ein starres gabelförmiges Kanalbauteil (40), welches neben der Luftführung die schwenkbare Lagerung des Oberkörpers (3) zur Bodeneinheit (2) gewährleistet.

The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner (1) of the upright type with a top body (3) with dust collecting container, with a bottom unit (2), which is movable by a chassis on the surface to be cleaned, and with one in the bottom unit (2) Motor fan (11) for generating a negative pressure acting on the surface to be sucked, wherein the upper body (3) and bottom unit (2) about an horizontal axis in use (X) are formed to each other pivotable. In order to create a robust, yet simple and easy-to-manufacture construction, a part of the air duct from the floor unit (2) to the upper body (3) by a rigid fork-shaped channel member (40), which in addition to the air duct, the pivotal mounting of the upper body ( 3) to the ground unit (2) guaranteed.
