Definitions

  • a safer fixation of the connection benefit at the suction opening can be achieved by the spring element.
  • the restoring force which can be exerted by the spring element must be overcome in any case, to bring the locking element in the unlocked position and to solve the connection of the suction port.
  • the inventors have recognized that the construction of the connecting piece can also be simplified by the latching element according to the invention, since the latching element can exert a restoring force on a plurality of latching elements. It is therefore achievable that even with a connecting piece with more than one locking element, only one spring element is needed to bring the locking element in the locked position. Of course, more than one spring element can be arranged on the connecting piece, e.g. to increase the restoring force.
  • the spring element can be further deformed. Because the ends can be moved beyond the position where they are axially at the same height.
  • Embodiments of the invention are also conceivable in which the spring element is designed as a helical or spiral spring and surrounds the free cross section.
  • a part of the inner surface against which the spring element bears in the locking position is formed by the latching element.
  • At least one fixing element is arranged on the connecting piece in order to prevent slippage of the spring element with respect to the locking element.
  • the at least one fixing element e.g. slipping of the spring element in the axial direction of the connecting piece can be prevented.
  • the at least one fixing element is arranged on the first neck part.
  • the fixing element may e.g. be designed as a rib.
  • a latching means is arranged on the latching element, by which the connection piece can be fixed to the suction opening, so that the connection piece can be securely held in the suction opening.
  • the latching means may for example be designed as a latching hook, which may engage, for example, in a corresponding latching groove of the suction opening.
  • the locking element is connected via a hinge with the connecting piece.
  • the point at which the joint is located can be referred to as a connection point between the locking element and the connecting piece.
  • the locking element is connected via the joint with the first nozzle part. Through the joint, the movement of the locking element between the locking position and the unlocked position can be determined.
  • the joint can be designed as a film hinge in a locking element which is integrally formed on the connecting piece or the first nozzle part.
  • the locking element can also be elastically deformed to be brought into the unlocked position and the locking position.
  • the locking element according to the invention connected via a hinge and at the same time be elastically deformable.
  • the latching element is integrally formed on the connecting piece.
  • the latching element is integrally formed on the first nozzle part.
  • “Integrally formed” means that the locking element and the connecting piece or the locking element and the first nozzle part of a made of uniform material and form a common component, so are one piece. In this way, the latching element and the connecting piece or the first nozzle part can be produced in a production step, so that a faster production can be made possible.
  • the connection piece with the locking element or the first nozzle part with the locking element in the usual processes, for example by injection molding, can be easily produced.
  • the locking element is tongue-shaped.
  • the tongue-shaped locking element is connected to the tongue root with the connecting piece or the first nozzle part.
  • the junction is thus at the tongue root.
  • the tongue-shaped locking element is connected via a joint with the connecting piece or the first nozzle part.
  • the spring element is arranged in a tongue-shaped latching element, on which a latching means is arranged, particularly preferably between the tongue root and the latching means.
  • the spring element is spaced in the unlocked position to the second nozzle part.
  • the spring element also does not touch the second neck part in the intermediate positions between the locking position and the unlocking position.
  • the unlocking position of the detent element may e.g. be determined by the fact that the locking element touches the second nozzle part.
  • the first 11 and the second nozzle part 13 are cylindrical and thus tubular, wherein the second nozzle part 13 is enclosed by the first nozzle part 11.
  • the first nozzle part 11 is thus an outer, the second nozzle part 13 an inner nozzle.
  • the cross section of the connecting piece 10 is in Fig. 2 shown a section along the line AA Fig. 1 is. Out Fig. 2 It can be seen that the free cross section 15 of the connecting piece 10, which can be traversed by the suction air flow of the suction suction, is circular and is determined by the second nozzle part 13.
  • the free cross section 15 of the connecting piece 10 is enclosed by a circular circumferential line 17.
  • the latching elements 30 each have a locking means 39 designed as a latching hook, which can engage in a corresponding latching groove of the suction opening.
  • the locking elements 30 are tongue-shaped and integrally formed on the first nozzle part 11 and thus on the connecting piece 10.
  • the latching elements 30 are each connected via a hinge 31 formed as a hinge 31 at a junction 33 with the first nozzle part 11 and thus with the connection nozzle 10.
  • the locking elements 30 are each movable relative to the first nozzle part 11, in an unlocking position in which the connecting piece 10 is detachable from the suction opening and in a locking position in which the connecting piece 10 by the locking means 39 and so that it can be fixed by the latching element 30 at the suction opening, can be brought.
  • the locking position is shown in the figures.
  • the ring-shaped spring element 40 is designed as an open spring ring, which extends over an angle of about 340 °, and thus over an angle which is greater than 180 °.
  • the annular spring element 40 surrounds the second neck part 13 except for an opening 43 formed between the two ends 41 of the spring element 40, so that the spring element 40 at least partially encloses the free cross section 15 of the connecting piece 10. In this case, more than half of the circumferential line 17 of the free cross section 15 is enclosed. Due to the fact that the spring element 40 partially encloses the free cross section 15, the spring element 40 can only be removed from the connecting piece 10 in the axial direction without being deformed. Removal in a radial direction is not possible without deformation of the spring element 40.
  • the spring element 40 bears against an inner surface 19 of the first socket part 11 and against the latching element 30.
  • the locking elements 30 can be brought by a user from the locking position to the unlocked position to remove the connection piece 10 of the suction opening can.
  • the user can depress the locking elements 30 at the tongue end 35 in the direction of the second neck part 13. If the locking element 30 is brought from the locking position into the unlocking position, the spring element 40 is compressed, wherein the two ends 41 of the spring element 40 are moved to each other and the spring element 40 can be supported on both locking elements 30.
  • the spring element 40 is in this case elastically deformed and exerts a radially outwardly acting restoring force on the latching elements 30. Due to the restoring force of the spring element 40, the two latching elements 30, after the user has released them after compression, are brought back by the spring element 40 from the unlocked position back into the locking position.
  • the spring element 40 is spaced in the locking position and the unlocking position of the locking elements 30 to the second nozzle part 13, so that the locking elements 30 can be easily moved.
  • the spring element 40 is arranged between the first 11 and the second neck part 13, so that a user can not move the spring element and the outer surface of the connecting piece 10 is smooth.
  • the spring element 40 engages at a location between the latching means 39 and the connection point 33, on which the latching elements 30 are respectively connected to the first nozzle part 11 and thus to the connecting piece 10, to the respective latching element 30 at.
  • two rib-shaped fixing elements 20 are arranged on the first neck part 11 and thus on the connecting piece 10 in order to prevent slippage of the spring element 40 with respect to the locking element 30.
  • the two fixing elements 20 are annular and surround the second nozzle part 13 and thus the free cross section 15 of the connecting piece 10th
  • the spring element 40 is designed as a spiral spring.
  • the free cross section 15 of the connecting piece 10 is completely enclosed by the spring element 40.
  • connection piece for a vacuum cleaner, the construction of which can be simplified.
  • the connection piece can be easily rotatably fixed in the suction opening, whereby material wear can be avoided.
  • a connection piece can be provided with a spring element, which can be easily mounted on the connection piece.
