Abstract

Vorgeschlagen wird eine Griffanordnung an einem zur Sprühextraktion ausgerüsteten Saugschlauch (3), der außen nach Art eines Außengewindes schraubenlinienförmig verlaufende Wellenberge (18) und Wellentäler (19) aufweist. Die Griffanordnung ist jedoch auch für Schläuche anwendbar, deren der Schlauchelastizität dienende Wellenberge und Wellentäler aufgrund eines anderen Herstellungsverfahrens nicht schraubenlinienförmig verlaufen, sondern als alternierende Ringe angeordnet sind. Die Griffanordnung kann auch zur Verwendung an glattwandigen Schläuchen angepasst werden. An einem Ende des Saugschlauchs (3) ist eine Innenmuffe (9) auf geeignete Weise gegenüber dem Saugschlauch (3) unverdrehbar befestigt und in ein Griffrohr (1) eingeführt und ist darin drehbar aber axial unverschiebbar festgelegt. Aus Saugschlauch (3) und Innenmuffe (9) ist eine elastische Flüssigkeitsleitung (37) radial durch eine Wandöffnung des Griffrohrs (1) hindurch und in den Hohlraum (28) eines Griffteils (2) eingeführt. Das Griffteil (2) ist mit beiden Enden fest mit dem Griffrohr (1) verbunden. Die Flüssigkeitsleitung (37) ist unter Bildung einer Längenvorratsschleife (40) im Hohlraum (28) festgelegt. An der Innenmuffe (9) ist ein Aufnahmeraum (13) vorgesehen, in welchen Flüssigkeitsleitung (37) aus der Längenvorratsschleife (40) verlagert wird, wenn Relativdrehungen zwischen Saugschlauch (3) und Griffrohr (1) erfolgen. Der mögliche Drehwinkel ist dabei gegebenenfalls durch Anschläge nach Maßgabe der in der Längenvorratsschleife (40) verfügbaren Leitungslänge begrenzt, kann aber auch durch die in der Längenvorratsschleife (40) verfügbare Leitungslänge selbst, d.h. auch ohne Anschläge, begrenzt werden.

A handle arrangement is proposed on a suction hose (3) equipped for spray extraction, which has helically extending wave crests (18) and wave troughs (19) on the outside in the manner of an external thread. However, the handle assembly is also applicable to hoses, the wave elasticity serving wave crests and wave troughs do not run helically due to another manufacturing process, but are arranged as alternating rings. The handle assembly may also be adapted for use on smooth-walled tubing. At one end of the suction hose (3), an inner sleeve (9) is fastened non-rotatably to the suction hose (3) in a suitable manner and inserted into a handle tube (1) and is rotatably but axially fixed therein. From suction hose (3) and inner sleeve (9) is an elastic fluid line (37) radially through a wall opening of the handle tube (1) and inserted into the cavity (28) of a handle part (2). The handle part (2) is connected at both ends fixed to the handle tube (1). The liquid line (37) is defined in the cavity (28) to form a length supply loop (40). On the inner sleeve (9) a receiving space (13) is provided, in which liquid line (37) from the length supply loop (40) is displaced when relative rotation between the suction hose (3) and handle tube (1). The possible angle of rotation is optionally limited by stops in accordance with the line length available in the length supply loop (40), but can also be limited by the line length available in the length supply loop (40) itself, ie even without stops.
