Abstract

The nozzle (1) has a suction channel provided at a housing (2) on a side that is turned to a floor, where the housing is adjustable in length in a direction perpendicular to a movement direction. The housing is designed as a multipart, and a suction connection (8) for connection with a vacuum cleaner is provided in a middle area. End sections (4, 5) are provided at a central section (3), where the end sections are adjustable at opposite sides adjacent to the suction connection. The adjustable end sections are fixable by a locking or retaining unit.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Staubsaugerdüse mit einem Gehäuse, an dem auf der zum Boden gewandten Seite mindestens ein Saugkanal vorgesehen ist.The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle with a housing, on which at least one suction channel is provided on the side facing the bottom.

Es gibt Staubsaugerdüsen, die ein im Wesentlichen quaderförmiges Gehäuse aufweisen, an dessen Unterseite Saugkanäle vorgesehen sind, und die zur Reinigung über eine Bodenfläche geführt werden. Die Länge des Gehäuses ist dabei fest vorgegeben, so dass Probleme auftreten, wenn die Staubsaugerdüse in Nischen mit geringer Breite eingesetzt werden sollen. Dann bleibt dem Benutzer meist nur das Abkoppeln der Staubsaugerdüse und das Einsetzen eines anderen Saugaufsatzes, was vergleichsweise aufwendig ist.There are vacuum cleaner nozzles, which have a substantially cuboidal housing, on the underside of which suction channels are provided, and which are guided over a bottom surface for cleaning. The length of the housing is fixed, so that problems arise when the vacuum cleaner nozzle to be used in niches with a small width. Then the user usually only the uncoupling of the vacuum cleaner nozzle and the onset of another suction attachment, which is relatively expensive.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Staubsaugerdüse zu schaffen, die flexibel einsetzbar ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a vacuum cleaner nozzle that can be used flexibly.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Gehäuse der Staubsaugerdüse in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung in der Länge verstellbar. Dadurch kann die Staubsaugerdüse an den jeweiligen Einsatzzweck angepasst werden, wobei zum Reinigen einer weitläufigen Bodenfläche eine größere Breite vorteilhaft ist, während zur Erhöhung der Saugleistung oder für Nischen eine geringere Breite des Gehäuses vorzuziehen ist. Das Gehäuse kann dann in der Länge entsprechend verstellt werden. Der Begriff "Länge" wird nachfolgend für die Verstellrichtung des Gehäuses gebraucht, weil die längste Seite des Gehäuses verstellt wird, was im Hinblick auf die Bewegungsrichtung die Breite darstellt.According to the invention, the housing of the vacuum cleaner nozzle is adjustable in length in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement. Thereby, the vacuum cleaner nozzle can be adapted to the respective application, wherein a larger width is advantageous for cleaning a spacious floor surface, while a smaller width of the housing is preferable to increase the suction power or for niches. The housing can then be adjusted in length accordingly. The term "length" is used below for the adjustment of the housing, because the longest side of the housing is adjusted, which is the width in terms of the direction of movement.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Gehäuse mehrteilig ausgebildet und in einem mittleren Bereich ist ein Sauganschluss zur Verbindung mit einem Staubsauger vorgesehen. Dadurch kann das Gehäuse mit nur wenigen Bauteilen verstellbar ausgebildet sein. Hierfür sind vorzugsweise benachbart zu dem Sauganschluss an gegenüberliegenden Seiten verschiebbare Endabschnitte an einem Mittelabschnitt vorgesehen. Dadurch kann die Staubsaugerdüse zu einer Mittelebene symmetrisch ausgebildet sein. Die verschiebbaren Endabschnitte können dabei über Rast- oder Haltemittel fixierbar sein.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the housing is designed in several parts and in a central region, a suction port for connection to a vacuum cleaner is provided. As a result, the housing can be designed to be adjustable with only a few components. For this purpose, preferably adjacent to the suction port on opposite sides displaceable end portions provided a central portion. As a result, the vacuum cleaner nozzle can be formed symmetrically to a center plane. The displaceable end sections can be fixable via latching or holding means.

Für eine exakte Führung sind die Endabschnitte vorzugsweise über eine Schiene an einem Mittelabschnitt geführt. Um ein leichtgängiges Verstellen zu ermöglichen, kann zum Verstellen der Länge des Gehäuses auch ein Federmechanismus vorgesehen sein.For an exact guidance, the end sections are preferably guided via a rail at a middle section. In order to allow a smooth adjustment, a spring mechanism may be provided for adjusting the length of the housing.

Die Länge des Gehäuses kann in einem Bereich zwischen 15 cm und 50 cm, vorzugsweise 20 cm und 40 cm variieren.The length of the housing may vary in a range between 15 cm and 50 cm, preferably 20 cm and 40 cm.

Um die Handhabung zu vereinfachen, kann an der Staubsaugerdüse eine Taste vorgesehen sein, mittels der die eingestellte Länge des Gehäuses fixierbar ist.To simplify handling, a button can be provided on the vacuum cleaner nozzle, by means of which the set length of the housing can be fixed.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles mit Bezug auf die beigefügte Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows:

Figur 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Staubsaugerdüse. FIG. 1 a perspective view of a vacuum cleaner nozzle according to the invention.

Eine Staubsaugerdüse 1 umfasst ein Gehäuse 2, das mehrteilig ausgebildet ist und einen Mittelabschnitt 3 aufweist, an dessen gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils Endabschnitte 4 und 5 verstellbar gelagert sind. Der Mittelabschnitt 3 und die Endabschnitte 4 und 5 können aus Kunststoff hergestellt sein und aneinander teleskopartig geführt sein. Hierfür können die Endabschnitte 4 und 5 den Mittelabschnitt 3 umgreifen.A vacuum cleaner nozzle 1 comprises a housing 2, which is designed in several parts and has a central portion 3, on the opposite sides of each end portions 4 and 5 are adjustably mounted. The central portion 3 and the end portions 4 and 5 may be made of plastic and be guided to each other telescopically. For this purpose, the end portions 4 and 5 surround the central portion 3.

An zumindest einem Endabschnitt 5 ist eine Taste 6 vorgesehen, mittels der die Endabschnitte 4 und 5 in der eingestellten Position fixiert werden können. Hierfür sind über die Taste 6 entsprechende Rast- oder Haltemittel verbunden. Es ist auch möglich, die Endabschnitte 4 und 5 über einen Federmechanismus miteinander zu koppeln, so dass das Verstellen der Endabschnitte 4 und 5 relativ zu dem Mittelabschnitt 3 erleichtert ist.On at least one end portion 5, a key 6 is provided, by means of which the end portions 4 and 5 can be fixed in the set position. For this purpose, corresponding locking or holding means are connected via the button 6. It is also possible to couple the end sections 4 and 5 together via a spring mechanism, so that the adjustment of the end sections 4 and 5 relative to the central section 3 is facilitated.

Die Staubsaugerdüse 1 ist dadurch in der Länge verstellbar, wobei die Länge des Gehäuses 2 hinsichtlich zu einer Bewegungsrichtung 7 der Staubsaugerdüse senkrecht verläuft.The vacuum cleaner nozzle 1 is thereby adjustable in length, wherein the length of the housing 2 extends perpendicular to a direction of movement 7 of the vacuum cleaner nozzle.

An dem Mittelabschnitt 3 ist ferner ein Sauganschluss 8 ausgebildet, der mit einem Saugrohr 9 eines Staubsaugers verbindbar ist. Der Sauganschluss 8 ist mit Saugkanälen verbunden, die an der Unterseite an dem Mittelabschnitt 3 und den Endabschnitten 4 und 5 ausgebildet sind.At the central portion 3, a suction port 8 is further formed, which is connectable to a suction pipe 9 of a vacuum cleaner. The suction port 8 is connected to suction channels formed on the lower side at the central portion 3 and the end portions 4 and 5.

Der Verstellbereich des Gehäuses kann beispielsweise 15 cm bis 50 cm, vorzugsweise 20 cm bis 40 cm betragen, so dass die Staubsaugerdüse 1 variabel einsetzbar ist.The adjustment of the housing may for example be 15 cm to 50 cm, preferably 20 cm to 40 cm, so that the vacuum cleaner nozzle 1 is used variably.
