Description

The invention relates to a packaging box with a lid and a reservoir thereby closable, wherein in the packaging box multi-layer wipes are added.

Packaging boxes of the type mentioned are known. The packaging boxes store individual wipes, such as wipes, for household use. Accordingly, such boxes are dimensioned for household use.

Such a packaging box is initially from the US 38 36 044 A known. From the US 2006/0048319 A1 is a packaging box is known in the multi-layer wipes are included. The wipes are unilaterally, removal side, formed with two spaced loop tracks for Velcro attachment with a handling part. Furthermore, the wipes have a central absorbent nonwoven layer and a lower abrasive layer, which is also moisture permeable.

With regard to the cited prior art, the object of the invention is to provide a suitable packaging box with wipes received therein, wherein the interaction with a nozzle of a vacuum cleaner should be conveniently achievable.

This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1, wherein it is pointed out that the wipes have a liquid-tight and air-tight sealing layer and that the sealing layer formed from a film is arranged on the removal side in the packaging box.

The sealing layer is both liquid and airtight and removal side disposed in the packaging box, which favors the negative-pressure removal or the suction of the wipe to the vacuum cleaner nozzle. In addition, it is thus also ensured that only a wipe of the wipers received in the packaging box in flat superimposition is sucked. In a packaging box, for example, five or ten, further, for example, thirteen or fifteen wipes are provided in superimposition.

Markings may be formed on the cover and / or the storage space for removal-appropriate allocation of the packaging box to a vacuum cleaner nozzle. The wipes should be assigned to the vacuum cleaner nozzle according to the plan. Furthermore, there is a need to remove the wipes directly from the packaging box with the vacuum cleaner nozzle so that skin contact for the user is avoided. The packaging box is provided for this purpose with markings, which facilitates the correct positioning of the vacuum cleaner nozzle to the wipes. These markings may be provided on the lid and / or the storage space, wherein in a preferred embodiment, the lid in the lid open position also serves as a ramp for the vacuum cleaner nozzle. Due to the markings, the vacuum cleaner nozzle, when correctly associated with its suction mouth and, if appropriate, further vacuum-laden suction channel valleys, lies directly above a wipe to be removed. Only by negative pressure as a result of switching on the vacuum cleaner, a wipe is removed from the packaging box.

The markings for removal-appropriate assignment of the packaging box to the vacuum cleaner nozzle, for example, by appropriately positioned webs or wall sections of the lid and / or the storage space be formed. In one embodiment of the subject invention, the markings in the form of moldings for receiving vacuum cleaner nozzle wheels are formed, so on, for example, by depressions in the region of the lid. By entering the moldings with the vacuum cleaner nozzle wheels, the correct positioning of the vacuum cleaner nozzle is achieved to the wipe to be removed, so that the suction mouth, possibly with extending from these Saugdälern extends directly above the wipe.

In order to further improve a packaging box of the type in question, it is provided that an opening and / or closing of the lid triggered by one of the packaging box for removing a wipe assignable vacuum cleaner nozzle can be reached. Accordingly, the opening and / or closing of the packaging box takes place in connection with the placement of a vacuum cleaner nozzle with a wipe stored in the packaging box. Thus, for example, the vacuum cleaner nozzle trigger a contact to unlock a lid closure, after which the lid of the packaging box automatically, for example, spring-assisted pivoted into the open position. The lid is also preferably used at the same time as Auffahrrampe for the vacuum cleaner nozzle. The closing can also be done automatically, for example, after removing the vacuum cleaner nozzle from the previously acted cover, which then moves backwards or pivoted back spring assisted in the closed position.

Further, for removal-appropriate assignment of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, in particular the storage space may have guide portions which further provide lateral guidance when the vacuum cleaner nozzle comes to rest on the opened packaging box. Such, in particular laterally arranged guide sections can be used for position-oriented positioning of the nozzle on the be provided the wipe removal serving nozzle contact surface of the box.

In a further development of the subject invention is provided that the lid closure position of the storage space is secured, which fuse can be formed for example by a mechanical closure. Also, a conventional snap is conceivable in this regard. Next also a magnetic closure.

In a preferred embodiment, the packaging box is made of a plastic material, so on of a hard plastic material, which proves to be particularly advantageous when storing wet wipes. Also, the packaging box may consist of a suitably coated cardboard.

If, in particular moist wipes stored in the packaging box, it proves to be further advantageous if it is airtight sealable, so as to ensure the longest possible durability of the stored towels. Thus, the lid and / or the storage space may be provided with a seal which cooperates with the counterpart, so the storage space and / or the lid. This may be a conventional rubber or TPE seal arranged, for example, along the edge of the lid, with a sealing lip, a sealing strip or a sealing ring being injection-molded in one embodiment of the box made of a plastic material. In a box made of a laminated cardboard material, the sealing element is glued, for example.

It is further provided in an advantageous development of the subject invention that the mechanical closure is formed by a safety catch. This acts between the lid and the packaging box and is on preferably manually canceled by the user. For this purpose, in a further development, the cover can have at least one closure clip for latching cooperation with a side wall of the packaging box. In this regard, a plurality of closure clips, so on, for example, two closure clips may be provided, further arranged in the latter embodiment these closure clips arranged opposite to the opposite side walls of the packaging box. For this purpose, it proves to be further advantageous if the closure bar or the closure bracket are pivotally mounted on the lid. So they are captive positioned on the lid.

In a further embodiment, the lid is hinged hinged to the packaging box. In design of the packaging box made of a plastic material, the lid can be attached in the simplest manner by forming a film hinge or the like. Swivel on the box. A possible latching via closure bow in this context preferably takes place on the side walls aligned perpendicular to a hinge axis of the lid. The pivoted-on closure bar can continue to form a support section in the cover pivoting position, that is to say when the storage space is released, for supporting the cover against the contact surface of the closure box, correspondingly in conventional application against the floor. As a result, the lid is additionally supported on the underside by the closure clip (s), which makes it possible to drive a vacuum cleaner nozzle over the lid into the wipe-removal position.

In a preferred embodiment, the packaging box for ascending the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the stockpile stockpile the wipes a slope, further a desk-like slope. This can be formed directly out of the housing of the packaging box. Alternative and further After opening, the lid preferably forms the ramp for the vacuum cleaner nozzle onto the storage box, for which purpose the lid is supported on the floor in the open position in the region of a hinge-free end on which the packaging box rests. It is here selected a slope of the ramp, which allows a favorable driving the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the storage box.

The wipes are arranged in the storage space level parallel to the base for the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the open pantry, so that they are aligned in the assignment position of the vacuum cleaner nozzle for removing a wiper in parallel to the nozzle bottom, to which the uppermost wipe is to be arranged in the pantry. Thus, in a further preferred embodiment, the footprint for the vacuum cleaner nozzle and further also the wipes are aligned horizontally. In a further preferred embodiment, the footprint is formed in the same extension of the ramp, is equal to the ramp inclined accordingly. The stored in the pantry below the stand wipes are arranged according to the plane-parallel alignment to the base in a plane parallel to the ramp.

Next alternatively or in combination with the above-described embodiments, the storage box forms an up or down ramp, the lid opens to the side opposite the up or down ramp side of the storage box. Thus, for example, the storage box by appropriate design of the housing directly form a ramp for the vacuum cleaner nozzle. The opposite, ie in the approach direction of the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the storage box subsequent ramp is formed in this embodiment by the open and with its free end portion on the ground supporting lid. Ramp up and down ramp in this case preferably have the same slopes. Also possible are different angles of attack of up and down ramp. According to this embodiment, a handling is made possible, which allows to drive with the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the ramp to the footprint of the storage box to remove a wipe with open pantry and after removal and placement of the wipe on the vacuum cleaner nozzle while continuing the nozzle in the same Direction over the rear ramp to leave the storage box again.

As an alternative to the arrangement of individual preconfigured wipes in the packaging box is provided in a development of the subject invention that the wipes are taken in predetermined lengths separable as a roll of cloth in the pantry. In this case, moreover, an initial edge edge of the cloth roll for detection by the vacuum cleaner nozzle from the storage space is exposed. Under sliding movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the packaging box, the starting edge of the cloth roll is grasped and pulled with the further forward movement of the nozzle from the packaging box, this in a preferred embodiment while simultaneously sucking the cloth through the vacuum cleaner nozzle against the nozzle bottom. Upon reaching the predetermined wipe length, the cloth is separated from the roll. This separation to the predetermined length dimension can be done mechanically. In this regard, an embodiment is preferred in which the separation of the wiping cloths in predetermined lengths can be achieved by a corresponding perforation of the cloth roll

The lid, which closes the storage space when the packaging box is not in use, is preferably realized in the form of a flap lid. The cover is accordingly preferably formed as a rigid flat part, which is pivotable about a hinge axis relative to the box. Alternatively to this It is proposed that the cover is designed as displaceable in the opening plane of the storage space roller blind. This roller blind is detected in the course of driving the packaging box through the vacuum cleaner nozzle and shifted to expose the storage space. The closed position, ie the rearward position of the roller blind is achieved by entrainment by means of the vacuum cleaner nozzle during a shutdown of the packaging box. Alternatively, the opening of the roller blind can be achieved counter to the force of a spring acting on the roller blind, which spring displaces the roller blind back into the closed position in the course of removing the vacuum cleaner nozzle from the packaging box.

Before fitting the vacuum cleaner nozzle with a wipe from the packaging box, it may be necessary first to remove an already used wiping cloth arranged on the vacuum cleaner nozzle. This can be done manually by hand. A hygienically more favorable solution is achieved by providing upstream of the reservoir in the approach direction of the vacuum cleaner nozzle to the reservoir means for removing the arranged on the suction nozzle wiping cloth. According to this embodiment, the old wiper is automatically removed in the course of the startup of the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the packaging box. For this purpose, the agent may be a scraper or the like arranged, for example, on the ramp. Preferably, the means for peeling off the wiper are designed by the vacuum cleaner nozzle, wherein more preferably the means comminute the wipe to be removed. Accordingly, according to this embodiment, not only an old wipe is removed from the vacuum cleaner nozzle, but rather sucked while disposed of the Saugluftströmung the remote through the means and at the same time shredded wipe over the vacuum cleaner nozzle and disposed of.

In order to enable the possibility of stocking a used, but only slightly soiled wipe, the storage box in a development in addition to the pantry on a storage room for receiving and storing a used wipe on. This storage space is preferably closed lid. Thus, the storage space can be arranged on the upper side of the storage space, wherein the storage space floor can form the lid of the storage space. Depending on whether a used wipe is to be stored in the storage room or a new wipe is to be removed from the pantry either the lid to release the storage room is opened or the storage room swung together with the lid to release the pantry. The storage room is used for intermediate storage of slightly soiled, but still usable wipes. If such a wipe is liquid-soaked for soil moist cleaning, it is further advisable to seal the storage space airtight, so in particular by arranging a seal between the storage room and this closing lid.

The packaging box may continue to have a horizontally oriented parking area in the closed state, for parking the vacuum cleaner nozzle when not in use. The parking area is correspondingly formed in a preferred embodiment by the closed lid. The parked vacuum cleaner nozzle can in this case in the parking position form-fitting engagement to a driving projection or the like. Form the lid, so that a lifting of the vacuum cleaner nozzle from the parking area on the positive causes a direct opening of the lid. Alternatively, the lid may also be under spring load, with a force acting in the opening direction of the lid spring, so that moves automatically with removal of the vacuum cleaner nozzle from the parking area of the cover in the open position.

Further alternatively, the vacuum cleaner nozzle, for example, on the upper side have a plan view of the packaging box adapted receptacle for the packaging box. After a cloth removal and reclosure of the packaging box this can be arranged according to the vacuum cleaner nozzle so that it is ready for wiping change at any time.

In a further preferred embodiment, at least a portion of the lid is free in the reservoir closing position for driving up the vacuum cleaner nozzle. Thus, the lid is designed to be detected by the vacuum cleaner nozzle by driving, being displaced in the course of further starting in a preferred embodiment, the packaging box in a pantry open position. Accordingly, in such an embodiment, the lid is not pivoted from the storage space for exposing the same, but rather the storage space is pivoted under preferably fixed position of the lid. Thus, it is further provided in this context that the packaging box lying with its lid on the floor for the vacuum cleaner nozzle forms an entry guide, whereby in the course of retraction of the storage space of the packaging box is separated from the lid. This is achieved by the over the lid rising up the vacuum cleaner nozzle, which initially moves into the insertion guide in the course of further forward displacement of the same packaging box in a storage space open position, preferably such that in the course of further driving on the lid of the reservoir is pivoted so, that its opening becomes accessible to the vacuum cleaner nozzle. In the wiping removal position, the vacuum cleaner nozzle is in register with the opening of the storage space, after completion of the startup over the lid and displacement of the storage space in the removal position, in which position the storage space due to its outer convex configuration on the floor roll-. supported. It is so created a kind of wobble box, which opens by moving the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the lid lying on the floor by rolling the storage space for wiper removal and continues to roll on removal of the vacuum cleaner nozzle after wipe removal in the same direction, finally the lid automatically pivots back into the pantry closure position. Due to the convex design, the packaging box automatically finds the starting position, in which the newly formed lid, the storage space rests resting on the floor.

Shown and described is first with reference to Fig. 1 a packaging box 1, which consists in the illustrated embodiment of a particular inside coated cardboard.

The packaging box is elongated rectangular in plan, approximately with an aspect ratio of 2: 1, and has a cover 2 and a thereby closable reservoir 3. The cover 2 is pivotable along a longitudinal edge 4 by integral connection with the associated packaging wall about an axis x formed by the longitudinal edge 4 edge.

In the packaging box 1 wipes 5 are included, further example, wet wipes, for assignment to a vacuum cleaner 6 of a household vacuum cleaner not shown. The wipes 5 are ground plan conformed to the floor plan of the suction nozzle 6, so on according to the representations approximately in the shape of an isosceles trapezium, the shorter parallel leg of the trapezoid facing the lid hinge axis x forming longitudinal edge edge 4 of the box first

There is a plurality of wipes 5 stored in the box 1. For this purpose, the wipes 5 are in a flat superimposition in the storage space 3 a. Each wiper is multi-layered, in particular two-ply, designed so with a lower wiper-active layer 7 and arranged above it, the entire base of the wiping layer 7 overlapping sealing layer 8. The sealing layer 8 consists for example of a film, in particular plastic film, and is in the storage position in the storage room 3 facing upwards, ie arranged everting the lid sealable removal opening. The two cloth layers are firmly connected.

As further in particular from the illustration in Fig. 2 can recognize the storage space 3 in the lid open position of a, a window 9 having top layer 10 be covered, wherein the window 9 is adjusted ground plan to the floor plan of the stored under the cover layer 10 in the storage room 3 wipes 5. This solution is suitable In particular, in an embodiment in which the packaging box 1 is suitable as a refill container, so as to achieve a positionally correct assignment of the wipes 5 to the storage space 3. Alternatively or also in combination, these flanking walls can be provided in the storage space 3 for the secure alignment of the wipes.

The cover 2 has two exposable by free cuts and pivotable by 90 degrees in operative position support portions 11 which, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 when storing the box 1 on a floor 12 to the floor-side support of the lid 2 are used.

Furthermore, the cover 2 has associated therewith the free marginal edge markings 13 which are supported on the floor 12 in the form of bulges 14 formed out of the cardboard material. These are adapted to the distance between two traversing wheels 15 of a nozzle 6.

The opened box 1, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 a total floor area, which allows the complete placement of an assignable nozzle 6, wherein further optionally extends the nozzle footprint of the box 1 in the plane of the pivoted and supported lid 2 and is inclined accordingly.

To remove a wipe 5, the nozzle 6 to be populated is assigned to the packaging box 1 for removal by the user, the nozzle 6 via the hand-held vacuum cleaner in the direction of travel r, the cover 2 as Auffahrrampe using positioned on the opened box 1. This up to a position in which the wheels 15 of the nozzle 6 retract into the associated bulges 14 of the lid 2. In this position, the suction nozzle head 16 is located with its suction channels 17 and with its suction mouth directly above the opened pantry 3 and thus over the wiping cloth stack. The suction channels 17 are covered by an insert part 18 which has slot-like or bore-like air outlets 19.

By commissioning the vacuum cleaner and concomitant construction of a suction air flow in the suction channel 17, the uppermost wipe 5 is sucked in and further held on the negative pressure, supported by the insert member 18 in even alignment on the underside of the nozzle 6. It requires according to the Tuchbestückung no manual contact by the user.

The height of the storage space 3 and, correspondingly, the height of a new wiping cloth stack is dimensioned such that with the usual suction force via the nozzle 6, the last, and correspondingly lying on the bottom of the storage space 3 wiping cloth 5 can be safely sucked. For example, five to fifteen such wipes 5 are stored in the storage space, each wipe 5 having a thickness of approximately 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. By forming the wiping cloth 5 from a fluff material or even by multi-layered construction, a thickness of more than 1.5 mm, for example 2.5 mm, may also be present.

Alternatively, a spring system or similar mechanical system can help push the wipes up. The spring pressure is then adapted to the weight of the cloths, so that the uppermost wipe is always minimally under the edge of the storage space, for example, below the top layer 10. In this regard, it may be, for example, a spring action by a leaf spring.

The packaging box is completely sealed, especially when receiving wet wipes in the closed state, including, for example, along the cooperating with the reservoir 3 edge of the lid edge, for example, a glued seal is provided. Also, a lid closure may be provided, such as a mechanical closure or a magnetic closure.

The FIGS. 9 to 11 show a second embodiment of the packaging box 1. This is made of a hard plastic material. The lid 2 is in the closed position as shown in FIG Fig. 9 locked, including a closure bracket 20 is provided. This is hinged on the upper side of the lid 2, accordingly pivotable about an axis parallel to the hinge axis. The closure bar 20 extends from the bearing 21 initially in the direction of the hinge forming longitudinal edge 4, parallel to the cover 2. The closure bracket 20 over the longitudinal edge 4 and extends further aligned perpendicular to the cover-side portion of the closure bracket 20 parallel along the associated side wall the box 1. End of a locking hook 22 is formed which engages to secure the box closure in a recess 23 in the side wall of the box 1.

The lock bracket 20 can be placed around its pivot axis in the in Fig. 10 shown position in which a locking or the like. Is reached to stabilize this position.

In this swung-open position, the closure bar 20 serves as a support portion 11 in the lid pivoted-up position according to FIG Fig. 11 , The support section 11 or lock bracket 20 supports the cover under installation of the Snap hook 22 in the recess 23 from. A locking does not take place here.

As in further Fig. 11 schematically shown, the nozzle 6 may alternatively be formed to the solution shown in the first embodiment without wheels, for full-surface equidistant seating above the box window 9. The plan of the box 1 is adapted to the floor plan of the nozzle 6, in particular to the floor plan of floor-facing suction surface. For positionally accurate alignment of the nozzle 6, guide webs or the like can be provided on both sides in the approach direction.

A third embodiment of the packaging box 1 is in the Fig. 12 to 14 shown. This is also made of a hard plastic material, wherein the cover 2 in the closed position according to the sectional view in Fig. 12 further associated with the side walls of the packaging box is locked. For this purpose, each closing bracket 20 are provided. These are hinged according to the second embodiment, the upper side of the lid 2 and engage in side wall side provided recesses 23rd

To open the lid 2, the closure bracket 20 are first swung open by releasing the catch (see. Fig. 13 ). Again, the stabilization of this setup can be achieved by a catch or the like.

In this pivoted-up position, the closure clips 20 serve as support sections 11 in the cover-pivoted-up position according to FIG Fig. 14 , The closure bracket 20 are based here against the floor 12.

The open at the storage room 3 for assigning the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 to the storage space 3 exposed base 24 for the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, which base 24 has the wipes 5 exposed window 9 extends always plane parallel to the plane defined by the wipes 5 in the reservoir 3 levels. For example, with reference to the embodiment of FIG Fig. 3 a plane-parallel alignment of the wipes 5 and thus also the standing surface 24 to the support level (floor 12) of the packaging box 1 given. The serving as Auffahrrampe 26 cover 2 is therefore inclined relative to the base 24.

In an alternative embodiment (cf. Fig. 15 ) is the level 24 in the same extension of the ramp 25 or in extension of the pivoted, the ramp 25 forming cover 2 is formed. The levels of Auffahrrampe 25 and base 24 accordingly form a common, with respect to the horizontally extending floor 12 inclined plane. The wipers 5 received in the storage space 3 extend obliquely with respect to the contact surface (floor 12) due to the plane-parallel alignment with the support surface 24. Thus, it is also ensured in this embodiment that the topmost wipe 5 to be removed is aligned in the storage space 3 to the same level as the facing bottom of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, to which bottom the wipe 5 to be removed is to be arranged.

As an alternative, the access ramp 25 can optionally be formed in one piece directly from the housing of the packaging box 1. The lid 2 is in such a configuration, for example, laterally, d. H. swiveling transversely to the direction of travel of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 or even further alternatively completely removable from the packaging box 1.

In addition, there is also the possibility to open the lid 2 to the housing side formed ramp ramp 25 opposite side, this further about a hinge axis x, which is directed transversely to the direction of travel r of the vacuum cleaner 6 to the packaging box 1. Such Solution is schematic in Fig. 16 shown. The lid 2 forms in this case, in the lid open position opposite to the ramp 25 a down ramp 26, this with an inclination relative to the horizontally aligned stand surface 24, which corresponds in value to the slope of the opposite ramp 25. According to this embodiment, the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 while maintaining only one direction of travel r are first performed on the ramp 25 on the base 24 for removal of a wipe 5 and hereafter be lowered by further displacement of the vacuum cleaner 6 via the down ramp 26 to ground level. In a correspondingly staggered arrangement of the wipes 5 in the storage space 3 can of course also serve the lid 2 as Auffahrrampe 25, wherein the Abfahrrampe 26 is formed from the housing of the packaging box 1.

Alternatively, to offer isolated, stacked in the storage space 3 present wipes 5, these according to the embodiment in the FIGS. 17 and 18 also be present in predetermined lengths separable as a cloth roll 27, which cloth roll 27 is received in the storage space 3. The cloth roll 27 is stretched over two transverse to the approach direction or to the hinge axis x of the cover 2 aligned rollers 28, wherein the horizontal distance of the rollers 28 to each other is chosen so that the free stretched length of the cloth roll 27 between the rollers 28 approximately in the same Direction considered length of a wipe 5 corresponds. Alternatively, the cloth roll 27 may be wound on only one roll 28. The upper side of the cloth roll 27 accommodated in the storage space 3 has a length, at least in the direction of travel of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, which corresponds at least to the length of a wipe 5 measured in the same direction.

The free end 29 of the cloth roll 27 is exposed for detection by the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, interspersed in a preferred embodiment as shown in FIG Fig. 17 a transversely aligned to the approach direction of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, further parallel to the hinge axis x extending slot 30 in the base 24th

In the course of driving the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 on the packaging box 1, further on the base 24 detects the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 beyond the support surface 24 protruding free end 29 of the towel roll 27, this further preferably due to the prevailing in operation of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 negative pressure. Accordingly, the free end 29 is sucked in and arrested at the bottom of the nozzle. By further driving up of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 on the base 24, the towel roll 27 is unwound with further attitude of the free end 29 and set Saugbobeaufschlagt nozzle bottom side. At the conclusion of the Auffahrvorganges the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, a separation of the thus recorded and fixed wiping cloth 5 to the predetermined length, including the cloth roll 27 at predetermined intervals has a perforation, not shown, transverse to the cloth longitudinal extent. This separation along the perforation takes place in the illustrated embodiment in the course of the tension of the pulled-cloth section over the peripheral edge of the stand-side slot 30, after which separation the now free end of the towel roll 27 is again protruding through the slot 30 protruding.

The Fig. 19 to 22nd show alternative embodiments, based on a packaging box 1 with horizontally oriented stand surface 24, wherein further the loading ramp 25 is integrally formed from the housing of the packaging box 1.

The lid 2 of these embodiments is designed as the window 9 of the storage space 3 closing blind 31. This extends in the pantry closure position substantially in a horizontal plane. The direction of displacement of the roller blind 31 corresponds to the up or down direction of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 on the base 24 and from this down. This is the Rollo 31 on both sides, in the direction of displacement of the roller blind elements aligned, arranged on both sides of the window 9 rails.

In the embodiments according to the Fig. 19 to 21 is the sliding shift of the roller blind 31 in the open position, in addition also back into the closed position coupled to the movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6. For this purpose, the ramp-side window end facing Rolloende has a driving projection 32 which is detected by the ascending vacuum cleaner nozzle 6. By shifting the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 on the base 24, the roller blind is opened above the driving projection 32. In the return movement after removal of a wipe 5 from the storage space 3 of the driving projection 32 is dragged to pull the roller blind 31 in the closed position.

Alternatively, as in Fig. 22 illustrated, acting on the free end of the blinds 31 tension spring 33 may be provided which is in the course of the roller-opening movement, triggered by the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, compressed. In the open position, the blind 31 is held by the seated on the surface 24 vacuum cleaner 6. In the course of the return displacement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 to move away from the base 24, the blind 31 is released, which closes automatically due to the relaxing tension spring 33.

The roller blind 31 can, as in the Fig. 19, 20 and 22 illustrated by way of example, are pushed together telescopically in the course of the opening displacement, which minimizes the space for receiving and guiding the roller blind 31. Alternatively, there is the possibility, as in Fig. 21 shown to offer the blind 31 a the displacement of the blinds 31 adapted receiving space 34, so on, for example, in the form that the displacing in the open position roller blind 31 extends in cross-section U-shaped, the storage space 3 for the wipes 5 embracing.

To dispose of a used wipe 5 before placing a new, fresh wipe 5 are in a development according to the illustration in Fig. 23 associated with the ramp 25 (here formed by the lid 2) means 35 for removing the content of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 held wiper 5 is provided. These are, for example, transverse to the approach direction of the vacuum cleaner nozzle directed, fang-like knife or the like. Which peel off the used wipe 5 from the nozzle bottom in the course of the startup of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 on the packaging box 1 and on the base 24. In this case, further preference is given to a comminution of the wipe 5, which wipe pieces are sucked directly through the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 and disposed of.

Fig. 24 shows a further embodiment in which the packaging box 1 next to the storage space 3 with fresh, unused wipes 5 has a storage space 36. This serves to store at least one unused wipe, which may serve, for example, due to only moderate pollution, further possibly due to only moderate fluid delivery for a further cleaning process. The storage space 36 is formed above the storage space 3, this overlapping. Corresponding to the storage space 3, the storage space 36 to be traversed by the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, in the illustrated embodiment horizontally aligned stand surface 24 ', which is interspersed with a window for depositing and resuming the used wipe in the storage room 36th Extension and contour of the storage room side Window corresponds essentially to that of the storage space 3 associated window. 9

The storage space floor 37 forms in the illustrated embodiment the lid 2 for closing the storage space 3. The storage space 36 for receiving a used wiper wash is independently of the storage space 3 lid-sealable, for which, adapted to the previously described embodiments, a hinged cover 2 ', which forms a loading ramp 25 in the open position, is arranged.

This cover 2 'is more preferably in the closed position, the bearing space 36 overlapping fixed, so for example by means of locking. Furthermore, a seal is preferably provided, for example, along the storage chamber side window opening, more alternatively in the region of the cover 2 ', which counteracts drying out of the used wiper cloth which is stored intermediately in the storage space 36.

The storage space 36 is pivotable with its lid 2 ', preferably in the lid closure position for the disclosure of the storage space 3, this about a hinge axis x, which is arranged parallel below the lid hinge axis of the lid 2'. Accordingly, in this case, the storage space 36 receiving, pivoted box section forms the ramp 25th

The lid surface of the packaging box 1 exposed in the storage space closing position can, according to the embodiment in FIG Fig. 25 form a particular horizontally oriented parking area 38 for the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6. This makes it possible, after completion of the cleaning work, the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, possibly turn off together with one of these associated vacuum cleaner on the packaging box 1.

According to the representations in the FIGS. 25 and 26 can be achieved in this parking position of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 a positive connection between the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 and cover 2, this example by arranging correspondingly shaped, for example, hook-like shaped driver 39 and 40 on the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 and the lid 2. According to this embodiment is at a lifting of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 via the drivers 39 and 40 of the lid 2 entrained, for the same in the storage space open position. The positive engagement between the dogs 39 and 40 is canceled in the course of the opening pivoting movement of the lid 2, so that thereafter vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 and packaging box 1 are separated from each other.

Alternatively, the lid 2 according to the embodiment is in Fig. 27 under spring load, this towards a lid open position. For this purpose, in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the hinge axis x is provided with a leg spring 41, which loads the cover 2 in the opening direction. The spring force is in this case designed so that when parked on the parking area 38 Staubsaugerdüse 6, the closure of the storage space 3 is secured by the weight of the nozzle, further so large that after lifting the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 and corresponding lack of load on the lid 2 this automatically in the Open position pivoted.

Another alternative embodiment of the packaging box 1 show the FIGS. 28 to 32 , The planar cover 2 of this packaging box 1 is in the pantry closure position according to Fig. 28 level on the floor 12. The housing 3 forming the housing of the packaging box 1 is according to the storage space 3 occlusive on the cover 2.

The lid 2 facing housing surface of the packaging box 1 forms the same as the previously described embodiments, a flat base 24, which in the basic position according to Fig. 28 plane parallel to the lid 2 and thus aligned parallel to the floor 12 and at least partially covered by the lid 2.

The housing surface facing away from the base 24 is substantially convex.

The region of the packaging box 1 facing away from the hinge axis x forms in the starting position according to FIG Fig. 28 facing the floor 12 an entry guide 42. This is formed as an end face of the packaging box 1 opposite the hinge axis x in the direction of the hinge axis x guided back undercut.

The sliding over the floor 12 towards the insertion opening 42 Staubsaugerdüse 6 initially engages in the insertion opening 42, the frontal portion of the packaging box 1 underflowing, wherein in the course of further sliding displacement of the vacuum cleaner 6 with further undermining the packaging box 1 this, or the the storage space 3-containing housing is pivoted by the further resting on the floor 12 cover 2 about the hinge axis x. The vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 moves hereafter on the first further on the floor 12 resting flat lid 2 (see. Fig. 29 ). By further advancement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, the packaging box 1 tilts while rolling over the convexly shaped rolling surface 43, with further Schiebevorverlagerung the vacuum cleaner 6 this on the level, provided with the window 9 for removing a wipe 5 stand surface 24. In this wiping removal position, the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 is in overlap to the window 9 of the storage space 3, wherein the storage space 3 and the storage space 3 receiving housing according to the outer convex configuration of the rolling surface 43 on the floor 12 rollabstützt. Under preferred suction on the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, a wiper 5 is removed (see. Fig. 30 ).

In the course of the further displacement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 while maintaining the chosen direction of displacement, the packaging box 1 tilts over the rolling surface 43 such that the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 on the side facing away from the lid 2 of the packaging box 1 over the region of the insertion guide 42 sliding on the floor 12. The departing vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 causes the further unwinding of the packaging box 1 on the rolling surface 43, wherein in the course of further unwinding prior to completion of the rolling process, the lid 2 falls back into the pantry closure position (see. Fig. 32 ).

The packaging box 1 is designed as a wobble box according to this embodiment, which rolls in the course of wiper removal completely over 360 ° about a transversely to the direction of travel of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6, further to a parallel to the hinge axis x directed roll axis.

Finally, as shown in Fig. 33 the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 on the upper side have a plano adapted to the packaging box 1 receptacle 44. In these, for example, after a wipe removal, the preferably closed cover packaging box 1 can be used. Accordingly, the packaging box 1 of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 6 is associated, which facilitates the process of Wischtuchwechsels especially in changing locations, since the packaging box 1 is always available for use.
