Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen integrierbaren Staubsauger der eingangs angegebenen Art zu vereinfachen.The object of the invention is to simplify a integrable vacuum cleaner of the type specified.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Der integrierbare Staubsauger umfasst ein Gehäuse, ein Gebläse zum Erzeugen eines Saugluftstroms, eine Saugdüse, eine Eintrittsöffnung für die Saugdüse und eine Klappe zum Verschließen und Öffnen der Eintrittsöffnung. Die Klappe ist in eine Schließstellung bringbar, in der sie die Eintrittsöffnung verschließt, und in eine Offenstellung, in der sie die Eintrittsöffnung öffnet. Der integrierbare Staubsauger ist zum Einbau in ein Möbel ausgestaltet, und zwar zum Einbau in denjenigen Teil des Möbels, der sich in der Gebrauchsstellung in Bodennähe befindet. Vorzugsweise ist der integrierbare Staubsauger zum Einbau in ein Standmöbel ausgestaltet.According to the invention, this object is solved by the features of claim 1. The integrable vacuum cleaner comprises a housing, a fan for generating a suction air flow, a suction nozzle, an inlet opening for the suction nozzle and a flap for closing and opening the inlet opening. The flap can be brought into a closed position in which it closes the inlet opening, and in an open position in which it opens the inlet opening. The integrable vacuum cleaner is designed for installation in a piece of furniture, namely for installation in that part of the furniture, which is in the use position near the floor. Preferably, the integrable vacuum cleaner is designed for installation in a stand furniture.

Bei dem integrierbaren Staubsauger handelt es sich insbesondere um einen Bodenstaubsauger. Der Bodenstaubsauger wird am Boden eingebaut und ist dazu geeignet, Schmutz vom Boden aufzusaugen. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, den integrierbaren Staubsauger in einer anderen Höhe einzubauen, insbesondere in Arbeitshöhe. Dies kann insbesondere in Bäckereien vorteilhaft sein.The integrable vacuum cleaner is in particular a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner is installed on the floor and is suitable for absorbing dirt from the floor. However, it is also possible to install the integrable vacuum cleaner in a different height, especially at working height. This can be advantageous especially in bakeries.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Klappe durch den Saugluftstrom betätigbar. Wenn das Gebläse den Saugluftstrom erzeugt, wird die Klappe von der Schließstellung in die Offenstellung bewegt. Sie verbleibt in der Offenstellung, solange der Saugluftstrom anhält. Wenn das Gebläse ausgeschaltet wird, sodass der Saugluftstrom versiegt, wird die Klappe selbsttätig in die Schließstellung zurückbewegt. Dadurch, dass die Klappe durch den Saugluftstrom selbsttätig betätigbar ist, wird die Bedienung des integrierbaren Staubsaugers vereinfacht.According to the invention, the flap can be actuated by the suction air flow. When the blower generates the suction air flow, the flap is moved from the closed position to the open position. It remains in the open position as long as the suction air flow stops. When the fan is switched off so that the suction air flow stops, the flap is automatically moved back to the closed position. The fact that the flap is automatically actuated by the suction air, the operation of the integrable vacuum cleaner is simplified.

Die Klappe ist um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar gelagert. Die horizontale Achse befindet sich vorzugsweise hinter der Frontfläche des Gehäuses und/oder des Möbels. Dabei ist die Anordnung vorzugsweise derart getroffen, dass sich der Schwerpunkt der Klappe unterhalb der horizontalen Schwenkachse befindet. Dadurch kann gewährleistet werden, dass sich die Klappe selbsttätig in die Schließstellung bewegt und dort verbleibt, wenn kein Saugluftstrom vorhanden ist. Die Klappe weist in horizontaler Richtung eine größere Erstreckung auf als in vertikaler Richtung. Auf diese Weise kann eine breite Eintrittsöffnung geschaffen werden. Die Klappe ist vorzugsweise pilzförmig ausgestaltet. Die Breite der Klappe ist in ihrem unteren Bereich vorzugsweise geringer als in ihrem oberen Bereich.The flap is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis. The horizontal axis is preferably located behind the front surface of the housing and / or the furniture. The arrangement is preferably made such that the center of gravity of the flap is below the horizontal pivot axis. This can ensure that the flap automatically moves into the closed position and remains there when no suction air flow is present. The flap has a greater extent in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction. In this way, a wide inlet opening can be created. The flap is preferably designed mushroom-shaped. The width of the flap is preferably lower in its lower region than in its upper region.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous developments are described in the subclaims.

Vorzugsweise ist zwischen dem unteren Bereich und dem oberen Bereich der Klappe eine Stufe vorhanden. Eine derartige Stufe kann auf beiden Seiten der Klappe vorhanden sein. Die horizontale Schwenkachse der Klappe befindet sich vorzugsweise im Bereich der Stufe oder der Stufen zwischen dem unteren Bereich und dem oberen Bereich.Preferably, there is a step between the lower portion and the upper portion of the flap. Such a step may be present on both sides of the flap. The horizontal pivot axis of the flap is preferably in the region of the step or steps between the lower region and the upper region.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Gehäuse längsverschieblich gelagert ist. Vorzugsweise ist das Gehäuse in dem Einbaukasten längsverschieblich gelagert. Das Gehäuse kann an Führungsschienen längsverschieblich gelagert sein. Durch die längsverschiebliche Lagerung kann das Gehäuse aus dem Möbel und/oder aus dem Einbaukasten herausgezogen werden, um den Filterbeutel zu wechseln.It is advantageous if the housing is mounted longitudinally displaceable. Preferably, the housing is mounted longitudinally displaceable in the installation box. The housing can be mounted longitudinally displaceable on guide rails. Due to the longitudinally displaceable mounting, the housing can be pulled out of the furniture and / or out of the installation box in order to change the filter bag.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist das Gehäuse zumindest teilweise geneigt gelagert. Die Neigung verläuft vorzugsweise von vorne oben nach hinten unten. Dadurch wird das Gehäuse selbsttätig in das Möbel und/oder in den Einbaukasten hineinbewegt, nachdem es herausgezogen worden ist. Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Führungsschienen, an denen das Gehäuse längsverschieblich gelagert ist, in ihren hinteren Endbereichen jeweils einen geneigten Abschnitt aufweisen. Das Gehäuse weist vorteilhaft eine Stromankupplung auf. Die Stromankupplung befindet sich vorzugsweise im hinteren Bereich des Gehäuses, vorzugsweise an einer hinteren Abschlusswand. Ein entsprechendes Kupplungsteil ist in dem Möbel und/oder in dem Einbaukasten vorgesehen. Wenn das Gehäuse vollständig eingefahren ist, wird die Stromankupplung selbsttätig mit dem Kupplungsteil verbunden, wodurch die Stromversorgung hergestellt wird. Wenn das Gehäuse aus dem Möbel oder aus dem Einbaukasten herausbewegt wird, wird die Verbindung getrennt, wodurch der integrierbare Staubsauger stromlos wird.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the housing is mounted at least partially inclined. The inclination preferably runs from the top front to the bottom rear. As a result, the housing is automatically moved into the furniture and / or in the installation box after it has been pulled out. It is advantageous if the guide rails, on which the housing is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable, each have an inclined section in their rear end regions. The housing advantageously has a current coupling. The power coupling is preferably located in the rear region of the housing, preferably on a rear end wall. A corresponding coupling part is provided in the furniture and / or in the installation box. When the housing is fully retracted, the power coupling is automatically connected to the coupling part, thereby producing the power supply. When the housing is moved out of the cabinet or out of the box, the connection is disconnected, de-energizing the integrated vacuum cleaner.

Der in den Zeichnungen dargestellte integrierbare Staubsauger umfasst ein Gehäuse 1, ein Gebläse 2 zum Erzeugen eines Saugluftstroms 3, eine Saugdüse 4, eine Eintrittsöffnung 5 für die Saugdüse 4 und eine Klappe 6 zum Verschließen und Öffnen der Eintrittsöffnung 5. Die Klappe 6 weist in horizontaler Richtung eine größere Erstreckung auf als in vertikaler Richtung. Sie ist pilzförmig ausgestaltet. Der untere Bereich der Klappe 6 weist eine geringere Breite auf als der obere Bereich der Klappe 6. Ferner weist der untere Bereich der Klappe 6 eine geringere Höhe auf als der obere Bereich.The integrable vacuum cleaner shown in the drawings comprises a housing 1, a fan 2 for generating a suction air stream 3, a suction nozzle 4, an inlet opening 5 for the suction nozzle 4 and a flap 6 for closing and opening the inlet opening 5. The flap 6 points in horizontal Direction to a greater extent than in the vertical direction. It is mushroom-shaped. The lower portion of the flap 6 has a smaller width than the upper portion of the flap 6. Further, the lower portion of the flap 6 has a lower height than the upper portion.

Das Gehäuse 1 umfasst eine Frontplatte 7 an seiner Vorderseite, eine Bodenplatte 8, eine linke Seitenplatte 9, eine rechte Seitenplatte 10, eine hintere Abschlusswand 11, eine hintere Deckplatte 12 und eine vordere Deckelplatte 13. Die hintere Deckplatte 12 ist fest mit der hinteren Abschlusswand 11 und den hinteren Teilen der linken Seitenplatte 9 und der rechten Seitenplatte 10 verbunden. Die vordere Deckelplatte 13 liegt auf der Frontplatte 7 und den vorderen Bereichen der linken Seitenplatte 9 und der rechten Seitenplatte 10 auf. Sie ist abnehmbar ausgebildet. Die vordere Deckelplatte 13 überragt die Frontplatte 7 nach vorne. Sie weist im Bereich ihres vorderen Endes eine nach unten weisende Abkantung 14 auf. Die vordere Deckelplatte 13 kann im Bereich der Abkantung 14 ergriffen und angehoben und/oder nach vorne abgezogen werden.The housing 1 comprises a front plate 7 at its front, a bottom plate 8, a left side plate 9, a right side plate 10, a rear end wall 11, a rear cover plate 12 and a front cover plate 13. The rear Cover plate 12 is fixedly connected to the rear end wall 11 and the rear parts of the left side plate 9 and the right side plate 10. The front lid plate 13 rests on the front plate 7 and the front portions of the left side plate 9 and the right side plate 10. It is removable. The front cover plate 13 projects beyond the front plate 7 to the front. It has in the region of its front end on a downwardly facing edge 14. The front cover plate 13 can be grasped and raised in the area of the fold 14 and / or pulled off to the front.

Das Gehäuse 1 ist in einem Einbaukasten 15 angeordnet. Der Einbaukasten 15 ist vorne und oben offen. Er umfasst eine Bodenplatte 16, eine linke Seitenwand 17, eine rechte Seitenwand 18 und eine Rückwand 19.The housing 1 is arranged in a mounting box 15. The mounting box 15 is open at the front and top. It comprises a bottom plate 16, a left side wall 17, a right side wall 18 and a rear wall 19.

Das Gehäuse 1 ist in dem Einbaukasten 15 längsverschieblich gelagert. Hierfür weist der Einbaukasten 15 im unteren, inneren Bereich der linken Seitenwand 17 und der rechten Seitenwand 18 jeweils eine Führungsschiene 20 auf, in der zugehörige Führungsschienen 21 längsverschieblich gelagert sind, die sich in den unteren, äußeren Bereichen der linken Seitenplatte 9 und der rechten Seitenplatte 10 des Gehäuses 1 befinden. Die Führungsschienen 20, 21 sind von vorne oben nach hinten unten geneigt. Wenn sich das Gehäuse in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten, herausgezogenen Stellung befindet, wird es durch diese leichte Neigung nach hinten selbsttätig in den Einbaukasten 15 hineingezogen.The housing 1 is mounted longitudinally displaceable in the mounting box 15. For this purpose, the mounting box 15 in the lower, inner region of the left side wall 17 and the right side wall 18 each have a guide rail 20, are longitudinally displaceably mounted in the associated guide rails 21 extending in the lower, outer regions of the left side plate 9 and the right side plate 10 of the housing 1 are located. The guide rails 20, 21 are inclined from the top front to the rear bottom. When the case is in the in Fig. 1 shown pulled out position, it is automatically pulled by this slight tendency to the rear automatically in the mounting box 15.

Das Gehäuse 1 weist eine Stromankupplung 22 auf. Die Stromankupplung 22 befindet sich im hinteren Bereich des Gehäuses 1, nämlich in oder an der hinteren Abschlusswand 11. An der Innenseite der Rückwand 19 des Einbaukastens 15 ist ein entsprechendes Kupplungsteil 23 angeordnet. Wenn sich das Gehäuse 1 in der eingeschobenen Stellung befindet, sind die Stromankupplung 22 und Kupplungsteil 23 miteinander verbunden, wie insbesondere in Fig. 6 und 7 gezeigt. Dann ist die Stromversorgung des integrierbaren Staubsaugers hergestellt. Wenn das Gehäuse 1 aus dem Einbaukasten 12 herausgezogen wird, werden die Stromankupplung 22 und das Kupplungsteil 23 selbsttätig voneinander gelöst, sodass der integrierbare Staubsauger stromlos ist. Durch die Stromankupplung 22 ist ein Kabel nicht erforderlich, ein Kabelgewirr kann nicht entstehen. Durch die selbsttätige Unterbrechung der Stromversorgung beim Herausziehen des Gehäuses 1 wird die Sicherheit erhöht.The housing 1 has a current coupling 22. The power coupling 22 is located in the rear region of the housing 1, namely in or on the rear end wall 11. On the inside of the rear wall 19 of the mounting box 15, a corresponding coupling part 23 is arranged. When the housing 1 is in the retracted position, the power coupling 22 and coupling part 23 are connected together, in particular in 6 and 7 shown. Then the power supply of the integrable vacuum cleaner is made. When the housing 1 is pulled out of the mounting box 12, the power coupling 22 and the coupling part 23 are automatically released from each other, so that the integrable Vacuum cleaner is de-energized. By the power coupling 22, a cable is not required, a tangled cable can not arise. By the automatic interruption of the power supply when pulling out of the housing 1, the security is increased.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 6 und 7 ersichtlich ist die Klappe 6 durch den Saugluftstrom 3 betätigbar. Wenn das Gebläse 2 eingeschaltet wird, wird der Saugluftstrom 3 erzeugt, der die Klappe 6 öffnet, wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt. Wenn das Gebläse 2 ausgeschaltet wird, versiegt der Saugluftstrom 3, und die Klappe 6 schließt die Eintrittsöffnung 5 selbsttätig, wie in Fig. 7 dargestellt.As in particular from 6 and 7 it can be seen that the flap 6 can be actuated by the suction air stream 3. When the blower 2 is turned on, the suction air flow 3 is generated, which opens the flap 6, as in Fig. 6 shown. When the blower 2 is turned off, the suction air flow 3 ceases, and the flap 6 automatically closes the inlet 5, as in FIG Fig. 7 shown.

Die Klappe 6 ist um eine horizontale Achse 24 schwenkbar gelagert. Die Achse 24 befindet sich in der Endfläche 25 der Frontplatte 7.The flap 6 is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis 24. The axis 24 is located in the end face 25 of the front panel 7.

Die Klappe 6 umfasst ein Verschlussteil 27 und ein Gegengewicht 28. Das Verschlußteil 27 bildet den unteren Bereich der Klappe 6. Das Gegengewicht 28 bildet den oberen Bereich der Klappe 6. Die Schwenkachse 24 befindet sich in dem Bereich der Stufe zwischen dem unteren Bereich der Klappe 6 und dem oberen Bereich der Klappe 6. Der Schwerpunkt der Klappe 6 befindet sich unterhalb der Schwenkachse 24. Um dies zu erreichen kann das Verschlussteil 27, wie in Fig. 8 gezeigt, eine größere Materialstärke als das Gegengewicht 28 aufweisen.The flap 6 comprises a closure member 27 and a counterweight 28. The closure member 27 forms the lower portion of the flap 6. The counterweight 28 forms the upper portion of the flap 6. The pivot axis 24 is located in the region of the step between the lower portion of the flap 6 and the upper portion of the flap 6. The center of gravity of the flap 6 is located below the pivot axis 24. To achieve this, the closure member 27, as in Fig. 8 shown to have a greater material thickness than the counterweight 28.

Die Vorderseiten des Verschlussteils 27 und des Gegengewichts 28 bilden einen stumpfen Winkel miteinander. Sie können allerdings auch miteinander fluchten. In der Schließstellung, die in Fig. 6 gezeigt ist, fluchtet die vordere Sichtfläche des Gegengewichts 28 mit der vorderen Sichtfläche 26 der Frontplatte 7. Hierfür ist in der Frontplatte 7 ein entsprechender Absatz 29 vorgesehen. In der Schließstellung verschließt das Verschlussteil 27 die Eintrittsöffnung 5, die von der Schwenkachse 24 nach unten bis zur Bodenkante 30 reicht.The front sides of the closure part 27 and the counterweight 28 form an obtuse angle with each other. They can, however, be cursed with each other. In the closed position, the in Fig. 6 is shown, the front visible surface of the counterweight 28 is aligned with the front visible surface 26 of the front panel 7. For this purpose, a corresponding paragraph 29 is provided in the front panel 7. In the closed position, the closure member 27 closes the inlet opening 5, which extends from the pivot axis 24 down to the bottom edge 30.

Durch den Saugluftstrom 3 wird die Klappe 6 nach hinten verschwenkt, sodass das Verschlussteil 27 die Eintrittsöffnung 5 freigibt. Wenn der Saugluftstrom 3 versiegt, wird die Klappe 6 aufgrund ihres Gewichts selbsttätig zurück in die Schließstellung verschwenkt.By the suction air stream 3, the flap 6 is pivoted to the rear, so that the closure member 27, the inlet opening 5 releases. When the suction air stream 3 dries up, the flap 6 is automatically pivoted back into the closed position due to their weight.

Zwischen der Saugdüse 4 und dem Gebläse 2 ist ein herausnehmbarer Filterbeutel 31 angeordnet. Zum Wechseln des Filterbeutels 31 wird das Gehäuse 1 aus dem Einbaukasten 15 herausgezogen. Die vordere Deckelplatte 13 wird abgezogen, wodurch der gefüllte Filterbeutel 31 zugänglich ist. Er kann durch einen frischen Filterbeutel 31 ersetzt werden. Nach dem Schließen der vorderen Deckelplatte 13 kann das Gehäuse 1 in den Einbaukasten 15 eingeschoben werden. Es genügt allerdings, wenn das Gehäuse 1 losgelassen wird, da es dann durch die Neigung der Führungsschienen 20, 21 selbsttätig in den Einbaukasten 15 hineingleitet.Between the suction nozzle 4 and the blower 2, a removable filter bag 31 is arranged. To change the filter bag 31, the housing 1 is pulled out of the mounting box 15. The front cover plate 13 is withdrawn, whereby the filled filter bag 31 is accessible. It can be replaced by a fresh filter bag 31. After closing the front cover plate 13, the housing 1 can be inserted into the mounting box 15. However, it is sufficient if the housing 1 is released, since it then slides in through the inclination of the guide rails 20, 21 automatically in the mounting box 15.

In dem Gehäuse 1 ist eine vertikale Trennwand 32 vorhanden, die zwischen dem Filterbeutel 31 und dem Gebläse 2 angeordnet ist. In der Trennwand 32 ist ein Feinfilter 33 vorgesehen. Der Feinfilter 33 ist austauschbar.In the housing 1, a vertical partition wall 32 is provided, which is arranged between the filter bag 31 and the fan 2. In the partition wall 32, a fine filter 33 is provided. The fine filter 33 is exchangeable.

In einer Seitenwand des Einbaukastens 15, nämlich in der linken Seitenwand 17, ist ein Abluftfilter 34 angeordnet. Der Abluftfilter 34 ist austauschbar.In a side wall of the installation box 15, namely in the left side wall 17, an exhaust filter 34 is arranged. The exhaust filter 34 is interchangeable.

Der Füllstand des Filterbeutels 31 wird durch eine Füllstandanzeige 35 angezeigt, die sich in der Frontplatte 7 befindet. Die Füllstandanzeige 35 ist als LED-Anzeige ausgestaltet.The level of the filter bag 31 is indicated by a level indicator 35, which is located in the front panel 7. The level indicator 35 is designed as an LED display.

Der integrierbare Staubsauger kann fest in ein Möbel eingebaut werden. Er kann allerdings auch nachrüstbar ausgestaltet sein. In diesem Fall ist es möglich, den integrierbaren Staubsauger nachträglich in ein Möbel einzubauen.The integrable vacuum cleaner can be permanently installed in a piece of furniture. However, it can also be configured retrofittable. In this case it is possible to retrofit the integrable vacuum cleaner into a piece of furniture.

Der integrierbare Staubsauger kann durch einen Schalter eingeschaltet werden. Bei dem Schalter kann es sich um einen berührungslosen Schalter handeln. Stattdessen oder zusätzlich kann allerdings auch ein Schalter verwendet werden, der durch Berührung betätigbar ist. Der Schalter kann als Näherungsschalter ausgestaltet sein. Insbesondere kann es sich um einen Schalter oder Näherungsschalter handeln, der mit dem Fuß und/oder mit einem Gerät, beispielsweise einem Besen, aktivierbar ist.The integrable vacuum cleaner can be switched on by a switch. The switch may be a non-contact switch. Instead or in addition, however, a switch can also be used which can be actuated by touch. The switch can be designed as a proximity switch. In particular, it may be a switch or proximity switch, which can be activated with the foot and / or with a device, for example a broom.

Wie insbesondere aus den Vorderansichten gemäß Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist die Breite des Verschlussteils 27 der Klappe 6 geringer als die Breite des Gegengewichts 28. Das Verschlussteil 27 weist in der Vorderansicht eine rechteckige Form auf. Das Gegengewicht 28 weist in der Vorderansicht ebenfalls eine rechteckige Form auf, bei der allerdings die oberen Ecken abgerundet sind. Die Höhe des Gegengewichts 28 ist größer als die Höhe des Verschlussteils 27.As in particular from the front views according to FIGS. 2 and 3 As can be seen, the width of the closure part 27 of the flap 6 is smaller than the width of the counterweight 28. The closure part 27 has a rectangular shape in the front view. The counterweight 28 also has a rectangular shape in the front view, but in which the upper corners are rounded. The height of the counterweight 28 is greater than the height of the closure part 27.

Die Neigung der Führungsschienen 20, 21 kann derart ausgebildet sein, dass diese Führungsschienen 20, 21 einen vorderen Bereich aufweisen, der nicht geneigt verläuft, und einen hinteren Bereich, der von vorne oben nach hinten unten geneigt ist. In diesem Fall wird das Gehäuse 1 beim Herausziehen aus dem Einbaukasten 15 zunächst nach oben angehoben. Danach gleitet das Gehäuse 1 parallel zur Bodenfläche oder sonstigen Unterlage nach außen. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass die Saugdüse 5 nicht auf der Unterlage aufliegt und während des Herausziehens nicht auf der Unterlage streift. Beim Hineinschieben kann das Gehäuse 1 in den Einbaukasten 15 eingleiten. Es sackt am Ende dieses Weges in den Einbaukasten 15 ab, und die Saugdüse 4 liegt optimal auf dem Boden oder der Arbeitsfläche auf, um eine gute Saugwirkung zu erreichen.The inclination of the guide rails 20, 21 may be formed such that these guide rails 20, 21 have a front portion that is not inclined, and a rear portion that is inclined from the front top to the rear bottom. In this case, the housing 1 is first lifted when pulling out of the mounting box 15 upwards. Thereafter, the housing 1 slides parallel to the bottom surface or other pad to the outside. This ensures that the suction nozzle 5 does not rest on the base and does not touch the base during extraction. When pushing in the housing 1 can be introduced into the mounting box 15. It sags at the end of this path in the mounting box 15, and the suction nozzle 4 is optimally located on the floor or the work surface in order to achieve a good suction effect.

Fig. 9 zeigt das Gehäuse 1, an das ein Schlauch 36 angeschlossen ist. Der Schlauch 36 weist ein Anschlußstück 37 auf, das in die Eintrittsöffnung 5 des Gehäuses 1 eingesteckt ist. Das Anschlußstück 37 ist in der Eintrittsöffnung 5 lösbar befestigt. Ferner ist an dem Anschlußstück 37 ein Kontaktschalter, nämlich ein Reedkontakt vorgesehen (in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt). Der Schlauch 36 weist an seinem anderen Ende eine Saugdüse 38 auf. Fig. 9 shows the housing 1, to which a hose 36 is connected. The hose 36 has a connecting piece 37 which is inserted into the inlet opening 5 of the housing 1. The connecting piece 37 is releasably secured in the inlet opening 5. Further, a contact switch, namely a reed contact is provided on the connector 37 (not shown in the drawing). The hose 36 has a suction nozzle 38 at its other end.

Wie aus Fig. 10 ersichtlich umfaßt das Anschlußstück 37 ein Rohrstück 38 und einen Anschlußrahmen 39. Das Rohrstück 38 ist rund. Es entspricht in seinem Durchmesser dem Schlauch 36. Der Anschlußrahmen 39 ist rechteckig. Er entspricht in seiner Größe der Eintrittsöffnung 5. Das Anschlußstück 37 erweitert sich vom Rohrstück 38 zum Anschlußrahmen 39 trichterförmig.How out Fig. 10 the connecting piece 37 comprises a pipe section 38 and a connecting frame 39. The pipe section 38 is round. It corresponds in diameter to the tube 36. The lead frame 39 is rectangular. He corresponds in size of the inlet opening 5. The connector 37 extends from the pipe section 38 to the terminal frame 39 funnel-shaped.

Beim Betrieb kann das Anschlußstück 37 in die Eintrittsöffnung 5 eingesteckt werden. Durch den Reedkontakt wird der Staubsauger selbsttätig aktiviert. Er geht auf Dauerlauf. Mit dem Schlauch 36 kann dann die Umgebung des integrierbaren Staubsaugers abgesaugt werden, beispielsweise die Arbeitsfläche und die Ecken des Raumes oder der Küche. Die Länge des Schlauches 36 kann drei Meter oder mehr betragen.During operation, the connecting piece 37 can be inserted into the inlet opening 5. The reed contact activates the vacuum cleaner automatically. He goes on steady. With the hose 36, the environment of the integrable vacuum cleaner can then be sucked, for example, the work surface and the corners of the room or the kitchen. The length of the hose 36 may be three meters or more.

In der in Fig. 11 gezeigten, abgewandelten Ausführungsform des integrierbaren Staubsaugers sind übereinstimmende Bestandteile mit denselben Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet, so daß sie nicht erneut beschrieben werden müssen. Hier überragt die vordere Deckelplatte 13' die Frontplatte 7 nicht nach vorne. Sie ist um eine horizontale Achse 40, die quer zur Einschubrichtung verläuft, schwenkbar gelagert. Die vordere Deckelplatte 13' weist an ihrem vorderen Ende nach außen gerichtete Grifflaschen 41 auf, an denen das vordere Ende der vorderen Deckelplatte 13 hochgehoben und auf diese Weise um die horizontale Achse 40 verschwenkt werden kann.In the in Fig. 11 shown, modified embodiment of the integrable vacuum cleaner matching components are marked with the same reference numerals, so that they need not be described again. Here, the front cover plate 13 'does not project beyond the front plate 7 to the front. It is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis 40 which is transverse to the insertion direction. The front cover plate 13 'has at its front end outwardly directed gripping lugs 41 on which the front end of the front cover plate 13 can be lifted and pivoted in this manner about the horizontal axis 40.

Die Führungsschienen 20 in den Seitenwänden 17, 18 sind teilweise geneigt ausgebildet. Sie weisen an ihren hinteren Enden nach unten geneigte Abschnitte 42 auf. Hierdurch wird gewährleistet, daß das Gehäuse 1 kurz vor Erreichen der vollständig eingeschobenen Position selbsttätig in den Einbaukasten 15 hineinbewegt wird.The guide rails 20 in the side walls 17, 18 are partially inclined. They have at their rear ends downwardly inclined portions 42. This ensures that the housing 1 is moved into the installation box 15 automatically shortly before reaching the fully inserted position.

Die in Fig. 12 vergrößert dargestellte Klappe 6 weist in horizontaler Richtung eine größere Erstreckung als in vertikaler Richtung auf. Sie ist pilzförmig ausgebildet. Ihr unterer Bereich weist eine geringere Breite auf als ihr oberer Bereich. Der untere Bereich wird von dem Verschlußteil 27 gebildet. Der obere Bereich wird von dem Gegengewicht 28 gebildet. Das obere Ende des oberen Bereichs ist in Form eines Bogens 43 ausgebildet. Der Bogen 43 ist nach oben gekrümmt. Die horizontale Schwenkachse 24 der Klappe 6 befindet sich in dem Bereich der Stufe zwischen dem unteren Bereich der Klappe 6 und dem oberen Bereich der Klappe 6, wie durch die Pfeile 24 angedeutet.In the Fig. 12 shown enlarged flap 6 has a greater extent in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction. It is mushroom-shaped. Its lower part has a smaller width than its upper part. The lower portion is formed by the closure member 27. The upper area is formed by the counterweight 28. The upper end of the upper portion is formed in the form of a bow 43. The bow 43 is curved upwards. The horizontal one Pivot axis 24 of the flap 6 is located in the region of the step between the lower region of the flap 6 and the upper region of the flap 6, as indicated by the arrows 24.
