- the vacuum cleaner nozzle is raised and aimed at the réellesagende Good and lower again, so perform a mostly perceived as annoying or even exhausting additional movement.
- a vacuum cleaner nozzle having a plurality of pile threads bundled or tied together at the root portions arranged upright at the front and rear of the suction port and provided with recesses at the front side. These recesses allow dirt through.
- the individual pile threads are bundled at their root sections and arranged at an angle to the longitudinal direction.
- the back of the brush area is designed continuously and without interruptions, thus preventing the passage of dirt during a feed movement.
- Fig. 21 of the DE 690 20 639 T2 shows a vacuum cleaner nozzle, which is circumferentially equipped with bundles of individual pile threads.
- the accumulated dirt particles are sucked in through the centrally located suction mouth.
- a disadvantage of this nozzle is that wool mice (small, soft, sometimes furry wool globules) and other smaller dust particles in the individual bristle bundles hold and this dirt does not reach the suction mouth.
- This dirt can, as with the other vacuum cleaner nozzles, only via an explicit cleaning of the bristles, ie only via an additional separate operation. Dirt particles which were not absorbed by the suction mouth during a feed movement, exit at the existing gaps on the back again from the nozzle.
- a suction mouthpiece for a vacuum cleaner in which on the nozzle sole of the suction nozzle a worktop is arranged, on which a plurality of subsurface-oriented nubs is formed, wherein adjacent through holes for the sucked solids are present, and wherein the underground pointing nubs a have smooth surface.
- a disadvantage of this nozzle is that this embodiment only facilitates an improvement in the reception of fibrous materials, but does not allow for the absorption of coarse dirt.
- the DE 10 2005 045 575 A1 discloses a one-piece bristle strip for a Staubsauger convinceddüse, with a support member and with bristles, wherein the support member and the bristles are integrally formed, and wherein the support member made of a hard component and the bristles of a soft component and are produced in 2-component plastic injection molding process ,

- the invention has for its object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved vacuum cleaner nozzle which feeds smaller and larger dirt particles and fibrous materials, especially with simple forward or backward movements of the nozzle largely without additional movements far safer the suction mouth.
- This embodiment of the dust catching elements has the advantage that dirt particles easily pass the individual dust catching elements into the interior of the vacuum cleaner nozzle towards the suction mouth in the first feed direction R1 through the aerodynamic shape. Dirt particles which are not yet in the first feed movement R1 in have passed the suction mouth are retained in the subsequent return movement R2 in the acting as a dirt trap hollow area and prevented from escaping from the area of the vacuum cleaner nozzle.
- the dirt-catching elements has a wedge-shaped, arrowed, hemispherical, hyperbolic and / or parabolic-shaped cross section.
- These shapes are all characterized by a, with respect to their arrangement to the suction mouth, favorable flow resistance coefficients in a thrust direction R1 and R2, and are thus optimally configured for passing or passing the dirt particles to the suction mouth.
- the individual dirt-catching elements of a series may have the same or different shapes.
- the openings are preferably realized by spaced apart adjacent dirt catching elements and / or by recesses in dirt catching elements arranged without spacing from one another.
- the distance between adjacent dirt-catching elements or the recess adjacent dirt-catching elements is particularly chosen so that on the one hand sufficient space is granted, so that even larger dirt particles can flow past the gaps unhindered.
- the distance between the dirt trapping elements is to be selected so narrow that the air flow of the vacuum cleaner nozzle absorbs the dirt particles supplied to the suction mouth.
- the distance between adjacent dirt catch elements or the recess adjacent dirt catch elements can be designed differently in a row. Furthermore, it is ensured by such freestanding dirt catching elements that capillary effects between adjacent elements and thus the binding of liquid in the dirt catching elements are largely avoided. This makes the vacuum cleaner nozzle more hygienic to handle.
- the dirt-catching elements can be aligned in one or more, preferably staggered, rows to the suction mouth.
- the debris on the front row is deflected and moved in the direction of the nozzle center.
- the subsequent series of dirt trap elements deflects the dirt particles on.
- the dirt particles are deflected with the support of the upcoming air flow preferably to the nozzle mouth out. Dust particles, which are already located after a successful deflection in front of a hollow area, are thus retained in the cavity during a return movement R2 of the nozzle.
- the dirt particles are thus conveyed closer and closer to the nozzle mouth, similar to a vocational step method.
- these dirt-catching elements can be arranged wholly or partially substantially perpendicular to the nozzle sole.
- a vertical arrangement of the dust catching elements also has the advantage that in the manufacture of the nozzle simple device means suffice.
- the dirt trapping elements can be at least partially cranked and / or arranged at an angle ⁇ to the nozzle sole.
- Dust catching elements which are decoupled or arranged at an angle to the nozzle sole, have the advantage, by virtue of their greater extent, of being able to form larger-scale hollow areas acting as dirt traps.
- dirt catching elements have a lower, yielding rigidity, and this property is advantageous in particular in the cleaning of sensitive and / or uneven surfaces.
- the above embodiments of cranked or angularly arranged dirt-catching elements also have the advantage that at least part of the dirt-catching elements are laterally projectable from the base surface formed by the nozzle head and / or nozzle sole, so that a facilitated edge suction is realized.
- a dust receptacle from corners or on walls and baseboards is ensured along without touching the nozzle head with the wall or the furniture in an advantageous manner.
- the ends of the dirt trapping elements form a predominantly flat surface, whereby stroke-dependent and based on the floor surface to be cleaned an extremely effective dirt trap is formed.
- a flat configuration of the ends in addition to a safe entrainment of the dirt particles in the hollow region, a polishing of the soil surface is advantageously achieved in the return movement.
- At least individual dirt-catching elements can have slots and / or recesses. Different stiffnesses of individual dirt traps can be most easily with slots or recesses achieve different size. Also, in a simple manner, the rigidity of a dirt trap element (further) can be reduced.
- the dirt traps consist at least partially of a soft component
- this has lower friction against a floor covering advantage.
- protruding elements made of soft components advantageous scratching of furniture, as is usually observed in Ecksaugen through the nozzle head usually.
- dirt-collecting elements formed from soft components advantageously leave no traces of abrasion on the surfaces.
- the dirt trapping elements with the nozzle sole are made in one piece, in particular in a 1K or 2K plastic injection molding process, in a cost-effective and easy to assemble manner.
- individual dirt-catching elements may be injection-molded onto the nozzle sole in an injection molding process, which increases the ease of assembly due to the one-piece effect achieved thereby.
- the nozzle sole may be made of a different material than any or all of the dirt traps.
- the nozzle sole then consists, for example, of a hard component and the dirt-catching elements at least partially of a soft component. The choice of materials with different degrees of hardness for different areas of the nozzle allows a versatile integration into functionalities in a nozzle.
- portions of the nozzle sole may be made of PP, PP-GF or the like.
- the individual elements can be made of TPE, PVC, silicone, elastomer or the like, for example.
- the stability-determining regions of the carrier part can be defined with regard to their strength-determining function;
- the individual dirt traps can be sufficiently flexible.
- this eliminates after mounting the nozzle sole with the dirt trapping elements further assembly steps, such as the attachment of further stiffening elements, which allows cost savings.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Staubsaugerdüse, insbesondere zur Nutzung in einer Vorschubrichtung R1 und einer Rückschubrichtung R2, mit einem Düsenkopf und einer Düsensohle, in welcher wenigstens ein Saugmund ausgebildet ist, welchem zumindest in Vorschubrichtung R1 Schmutzfangelemente vorgelagert sind.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle, in particular for use in a feed direction R1 and a return direction R2, with a nozzle head and a nozzle sole, in which at least one suction mouth is formed, which are arranged upstream at least in the feed direction R1 dirt catch elements.
Bekannte Schmutzfangelemente, insbesondere aus Kunststoff- oder Naturborsten in Form von Leisten, sind beispielsweise starr am Düsenkopf und/oder an der Düsensohle angeordnet.Known dirt-catching elements, in particular made of plastic or natural bristles in the form of strips, are for example arranged rigidly on the nozzle head and / or on the nozzle sole.
Bekannt ist auch, derartige Schmutzfangelemente wahlweise zumindest teilweise in den Düsenkopf versenkbar auszubilden.It is also known, such dirt trap elements optionally at least partially formed retractable into the nozzle head.
Um größere Schmutzpartikel wie Kieselsteine oder "Wollmäuse" etc. aufzusaugen, ist jedoch gewöhnlich die Staubsaugerdüse anzuheben und auf das aufzusagende Gut zu richten und wieder abzusenken, also eine meist als lästig oder gar anstrengend empfundene Zusatzbewegung auszuführen.To absorb larger dirt particles such as pebbles or "wool mice", etc., however, usually the vacuum cleaner nozzle is raised and aimed at the aufzusagende Good and lower again, so perform a mostly perceived as annoying or even exhausting additional movement.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbesserte Staubsaugerdüse bereitzustellen, welche kleinere wie auch größere Schmutzpartikel sowie faserartige Materialien insbesondere mit einfachen Vor- oder Rückschubbewegungen der Düse weitgehend ohne Zusatzbewegungen weit sicherer dem Saugmund zuführt.The invention has for its object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved vacuum cleaner nozzle which feeds smaller and larger dirt particles and fibrous materials, especially with simple forward or backward movements of the nozzle largely without additional movements far safer the suction mouth.
Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt durch das Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen, welche einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander eingesetzt werden können, sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The solution of the object is achieved by the characterizing part of
Diese Ausführung der Schmutzfangelemente besitzt den Vorteil, dass Schmutzpartikel bei der ersten Vorschubrichtung R1 durch die strömungsgünstige Form leicht an den einzelnen Schmutzfangelementen vorbei in das Innere der Staubsaugerdüse zu dem Saugmund hin gelangen. Schmutzpartikel, welche noch nicht bei der ersten Vorschubbewegung R1 in den Saugmund gelangt sind, werden bei der darauf folgenden Rückschubbewegung R2 im als Schmutzfang wirkenden Hohlbereich zurückgehalten und vor einem Austritt aus dem Bereich der Staubsaugerdüse gehindert.This embodiment of the dust catching elements has the advantage that dirt particles easily pass the individual dust catching elements into the interior of the vacuum cleaner nozzle towards the suction mouth in the first feed direction R1 through the aerodynamic shape. Dirt particles which are not yet in the first feed movement R1 in have passed the suction mouth are retained in the subsequent return movement R2 in the acting as a dirt trap hollow area and prevented from escaping from the area of the vacuum cleaner nozzle.
Vorzugsweise weist wenigstens ein Teil der Schmutzfangelemente einen keil-, pfeil-, halbkugel-, hyperbel- und/oder parabel-förmigen Querschnitt auf. Diese Formen zeichnen sich alle durch einen, bezogen auf ihre Anordnung zum Saugmund, günstigen Strömungswiderstandskoeffizienten in einer Schubrichtung R1 bzw. R2 aus, und sind damit bestens für ein Vorbeiwandern bzw. Vorbeigleiten der Schmutzpartikel zum Saugmund ausgestaltet. Je nach Anordnung zum Saugmund können die einzelnen Schmutzfangelemente einer Reihe gleiche oder auch unterschiedliche Formen aufweisen.Preferably, at least a part of the dirt-catching elements has a wedge-shaped, arrowed, hemispherical, hyperbolic and / or parabolic-shaped cross section. These shapes are all characterized by a, with respect to their arrangement to the suction mouth, favorable flow resistance coefficients in a thrust direction R1 and R2, and are thus optimally configured for passing or passing the dirt particles to the suction mouth. Depending on the arrangement of the suction mouth, the individual dirt-catching elements of a series may have the same or different shapes.
Erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt sind die Öffnungen durch auf Abstand angeordnete benachbarte Schmutzfangelemente und/oder durch Aussparungen in ohne Abstand zueinander angeordneten Schmutzfangelementen realisiert. Der Abstand benachbarter Schmutzfangelemente oder die Aussparung nebeneinander stehender Schmutzfangelemente ist insbesondere so gewählt, dass einerseits hinreichend Raum gewährt ist, damit auch größere Schmutzpartikel ungehindert an den Lücken vorbeiströmen können. Andererseits ist der Abstand zwischen den Schmutzfangelementen so schmal zu wählen, dass der Luftstrom der Staubsaugerdüse die dem Saugmund zugeführten Schmutzpartikel aufnimmt. Der Abstand benachbarter Schmutzfangelemente oder die Aussparung nebeneinander stehender Schmutzfangelemente kann in einer Reihe unterschiedlich ausgeführt sein. Weiter wird durch solche freistehenden Schmutzfangelemente sichergestellt, dass Kapillareffekte zwischen benachbarten Elementen und damit die Bindung von Flüssigkeit in den Schmutzfangelementen weitgehend vermieden sind. Dadurch ist die Staubsaugerdüse auch hygienischer in der Handhabung.According to the invention, the openings are preferably realized by spaced apart adjacent dirt catching elements and / or by recesses in dirt catching elements arranged without spacing from one another. The distance between adjacent dirt-catching elements or the recess adjacent dirt-catching elements is particularly chosen so that on the one hand sufficient space is granted, so that even larger dirt particles can flow past the gaps unhindered. On the other hand, the distance between the dirt trapping elements is to be selected so narrow that the air flow of the vacuum cleaner nozzle absorbs the dirt particles supplied to the suction mouth. The distance between adjacent dirt catch elements or the recess adjacent dirt catch elements can be designed differently in a row. Furthermore, it is ensured by such freestanding dirt catching elements that capillary effects between adjacent elements and thus the binding of liquid in the dirt catching elements are largely avoided. This makes the vacuum cleaner nozzle more hygienic to handle.
Je nach Größe und Ausgestaltung der Düse können die Schmutzfangelemente in einer oder mehreren, vorzugsweise zueinander versetzten, Reihen zum Saugmund hin ausgerichtet sein. Mit einer Anordnung von mehreren zueinander versetzten Reihen werden die Schmutzpartikel an der vorderen Reihe abgelenkt und in die Richtung der Düsenmitte bewegt. Die darauffolgende Reihe der Schmutzfangelemente lenkt die Schmutzpartikel weiter ab. Die Schmutzpartikel werden mit Unterstützung des anstehenden Luftstroms bevorzugt auf den Düsenmund hin umgelenkt. Staubpartikel, die sich bereits nach einer erfolgten Ablenkung vor einem Hohlbereich befinden, werden bei einer Rückschubbewegung R2 der Düse somit in dem Hohlraum zurückgehalten. Die Schmutzpartikel werden somit ähnlich wie bei einem Pilgerschrittverfahren immer näher dem Düsenmund zugefördert. Durch eine Anordnung der Schmutzfangelemente in versetzten Reihen wird schließlich auch der Luftstrom vom Saugmund in der Mitte der Düse gehalten, und ermöglicht so ein effektives Aufsaugen der Partikel über den Saugmund.Depending on the size and configuration of the nozzle, the dirt-catching elements can be aligned in one or more, preferably staggered, rows to the suction mouth. With an array of multiple staggered rows, the debris on the front row is deflected and moved in the direction of the nozzle center. The subsequent series of dirt trap elements deflects the dirt particles on. The dirt particles are deflected with the support of the upcoming air flow preferably to the nozzle mouth out. Dust particles, which are already located after a successful deflection in front of a hollow area, are thus retained in the cavity during a return movement R2 of the nozzle. The dirt particles are thus conveyed closer and closer to the nozzle mouth, similar to a pilgrim step method. By an arrangement of the dirt catch elements in staggered rows will eventually Also, the air flow from the suction mouth in the center of the nozzle held, and thus allows an effective suction of the particles through the suction mouth.
Je nach Anordnung bzw. Lage der Anordnung der Schmutzfangelemente an der Düse können diese Schmutzfangelemente ganz oder teilweise im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Düsensohle angeordnet sein. Eine senkrechte Anordnung der Schmutzfangelemente hat zudem den Vorteil, dass bei der Herstellung der Düse einfache Vorrichtungsmittel genügen.Depending on the arrangement or position of the arrangement of the dirt-catching elements on the nozzle, these dirt-catching elements can be arranged wholly or partially substantially perpendicular to the nozzle sole. A vertical arrangement of the dust catching elements also has the advantage that in the manufacture of the nozzle simple device means suffice.
Alternativ können die Schmutzfangelemente wenigstens teilweise gekröpft und/oder unter einem Winkel α zur Düsensohle angeordnet sein. Schmutzfangelemente, die geköpft oder unter einem Winkel zur Düsensohle angeordnet sind, besitzen durch ihre größere Erstreckung den Vorteil, großräumigere als Schmutzfang wirkende Hohlbereiche ausbilden zu können. Zudem weisen derartige Schmutzfangelemente eine geringere, nachgebende Steifigkeit auf, wobei diese Eigenschaft insbesondere bei der Reinigung sensibler und/oder unebener Oberflächen von Vorteil ist.Alternatively, the dirt trapping elements can be at least partially cranked and / or arranged at an angle α to the nozzle sole. Dust catching elements, which are decoupled or arranged at an angle to the nozzle sole, have the advantage, by virtue of their greater extent, of being able to form larger-scale hollow areas acting as dirt traps. In addition, such dirt catching elements have a lower, yielding rigidity, and this property is advantageous in particular in the cleaning of sensitive and / or uneven surfaces.
Vorstehende Ausgestaltungen gekröpfter oder winklig angeordneter Schmutzfangelemente haben zudem zum Vorteil, dass wenigstens ein Teil der Schmutzfangelemente seitlich aus der von Düsenkopf und/oder Düsensohle gebildeten Grundfläche überstehbar ausbildbar sind, so dass ein erleichtertes Randabsaugen realisiert ist. Dadurch ist in vorteilhafter Weise eine Staubaufnahme aus Ecken heraus oder an Wänden sowie Sockelleisten entlang ohne eine Berührung des Düsenkopfs mit der Wand oder dem Mobiliar gewährleistet.The above embodiments of cranked or angularly arranged dirt-catching elements also have the advantage that at least part of the dirt-catching elements are laterally projectable from the base surface formed by the nozzle head and / or nozzle sole, so that a facilitated edge suction is realized. As a result, a dust receptacle from corners or on walls and baseboards is ensured along without touching the nozzle head with the wall or the furniture in an advantageous manner.
Zweckmäßigenweise bilden die Enden der Schmutzfangelemente eine überwiegend ebene Fläche, wodurch hubabhängig und bezogen auf die zu reinigende Bodenfläche ein äußerst wirksamer Schmutzfang ausgebildet ist. Durch eine flächige Ausgestaltung der Enden wird neben einer sicheren Mitnahme der Schmutzpartikel in dem Hohlbereich bei der Rückschubbewegung auch vorteilhaft ein Polieren der Bodenoberfläche erreicht.Appropriately, the ends of the dirt trapping elements form a predominantly flat surface, whereby stroke-dependent and based on the floor surface to be cleaned an extremely effective dirt trap is formed. By a flat configuration of the ends, in addition to a safe entrainment of the dirt particles in the hollow region, a polishing of the soil surface is advantageously achieved in the return movement.
Zur Erzielung unterschiedlicher Steifigkeiten können zumindest einzelne Schmutzfangelemente Schlitze und/oder Ausnehmungen aufweisen. Unterschiedliche Steifigkeiten einzelner Schmutzfangelemente lassen sich am einfachsten mit Schlitzen oder Ausnehmungen unterschiedlicher Größe erzielen. Auch kann so in einfacher Weise die Steifigkeit eines Schmutzfangelementes (weiter) verringert werden.To achieve different stiffnesses, at least individual dirt-catching elements can have slots and / or recesses. Different stiffnesses of individual dirt traps can be most easily with slots or recesses achieve different size. Also, in a simple manner, the rigidity of a dirt trap element (further) can be reduced.
Soweit die Schmutzfangelemente zumindest teilweise aus einer Weichkomponente bestehen, hat dies geringere Haftreibungen gegenüber einem Bodenbelag zum Vorteil. Auch verhindern aus Weichkomponenten gefertigte überstehende Elemente vorteilhaft ein Verkratzen von Mobiliar, wie dies sonst beim Eckensaugen durch den Düsenkopf üblicherweise zu beobachten ist. Weiter hinterlassen aus Weichkomponenten gebildete Schmutzfangelemente vorteilhafterweise keine Abriebspuren an den Oberflächen.Insofar as the dirt traps consist at least partially of a soft component, this has lower friction against a floor covering advantage. Also prevent protruding elements made of soft components advantageous scratching of furniture, as is usually observed in Ecksaugen through the nozzle head usually. Furthermore, dirt-collecting elements formed from soft components advantageously leave no traces of abrasion on the surfaces.
Zweckmäßigerweise sind wenigstens ein Teil der Schmutzfangelemente mit der Düsensohle einteilig, insbesondere in einem 1 K- oder 2K-Kunststoffspritzverfahren, kostengünstig und montagefreundlich hergestellt. Beispielsweise können einzelne Schmutzfangelemente an der Düsensohle in einem Spritzgussverfahren mit angespritzt sein, was aufgrund der damit erzielten Einteiligkeit die Montagefreundlichkeit erhöht. Wahlweise kann die Düsensohle aus einem anderen Material bestehen als einzelne oder alle Schmutzfangelemente. Die Düsensohle besteht dann beispielsweise aus einer Hartkomponente und die Schmutzfangelemente zumindest teilweise aus einer Weichkomponente. Die Wahl von Materialien mit unterschiedlichen Härtegraden für unterschiedliche Bereiche der Düse gestattet eine vielseitige Integration an Funktionalitäten in eine Düse. Beispielsweise können Bereiche der Düsensohle aus PP, PP-GF oder dergleichen hergestellt sein. Die einzelnen Elemente hingegen können beispielsweise aus TPE, PVC, Silikon, Elastomer oder ähnlichem gefertigt sein. Damit lassen sich die stabilitätsbestimmenden Bereiche des Trägerteils hinsichtlich ihrer festigkeitsbestimmenden Funktion definieren; gleichzeitig können die einzelnen Schmutzfangelemente ausreichend flexibel sein. Zusätzlich entfallen auf diese Weise nach der Herstellung der Düsensohle mit den Schmutzfangelementen weitere Montageschritte, so wie etwa das Anbringen weiterer Versteifungselemente, was eine Kosteneinsparung ermöglicht. Des Weiteren kann auf zusätzliche Montageschritte verzichtet werden. Auch geht mit der Einstückigkeit aufgrund des Fehlens von Verbindungsmaterialien, wie etwa Klebstoffen, eine höhere Zuverlässigkeit der Borstenleiste einher.Conveniently, at least part of the dirt trapping elements with the nozzle sole are made in one piece, in particular in a 1K or 2K plastic injection molding process, in a cost-effective and easy to assemble manner. For example, individual dirt-catching elements may be injection-molded onto the nozzle sole in an injection molding process, which increases the ease of assembly due to the one-piece effect achieved thereby. Optionally, the nozzle sole may be made of a different material than any or all of the dirt traps. The nozzle sole then consists, for example, of a hard component and the dirt-catching elements at least partially of a soft component. The choice of materials with different degrees of hardness for different areas of the nozzle allows a versatile integration into functionalities in a nozzle. For example, portions of the nozzle sole may be made of PP, PP-GF or the like. The individual elements, however, can be made of TPE, PVC, silicone, elastomer or the like, for example. In this way, the stability-determining regions of the carrier part can be defined with regard to their strength-determining function; At the same time, the individual dirt traps can be sufficiently flexible. In addition, this eliminates after mounting the nozzle sole with the dirt trapping elements further assembly steps, such as the attachment of further stiffening elements, which allows cost savings. Furthermore, can be dispensed with additional assembly steps. Also, the integrity due to the lack of bonding materials, such as adhesives, adds to the reliability of the bristle strip.
Alternativ oder kumulativ kann zur Erzielung verschiedener Faseraufnahmeeigenschaften wenigstens ein Teil der Schmutzfangelemente aus einzelnen Kunststoff- und/oder Naturhaar-Borsten bestehen. Mit unterschiedlichen Materialien lassen sich auch in einfacher Weise unterschiedliche, insbesondere antistatische, Eigenschaften und/oder Funktionalitäten wie wegklappbare Bereiche kombinieren, sowie effektvolle Farbgestaltungen darstellen.Alternatively or cumulatively, to achieve various fiber-absorbing properties, at least a portion of the dirt-trapping elements may be made from individual plastic and / or natural hair bristles consist. With different materials, different, in particular antistatic, properties and / or functionalities such as fold-away regions can also be combined in a simple manner, as well as representing effective color designs.
