Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of suction and cleaning systems, more specifically to a reversible electric broom.
  • the vacuum cleaner is a particular household appliance intended for cleaning floors and other surfaces. Its internal mechanism allows it to suck dust and other particles mixed with air, and to hold them inside its body by means of a filter element, so as to release clean air.
  • the motor which is typically an electric one, allows sucking external air by creating a sort of a vacuum, by means of a fan, inside the vacuum cleaner.
  • the electric broom is a particular type of vacuum cleaner, the body of which is typically directly connected to the cleaning accessory through a joint.
  • the electric broom known in the art is fitted with a handle rigidly connected to the body.
  • Said known electric broom suffers from some effectiveness problems when operating in narrow spaces, to which it can hardly, or not at all, gain access. In such situations, manoeuvrability and mobility are poor or even prevented and the cleaning accessory may easily get stuck, in addition to making it difficult for the user to move his/her arm.
  • the invention relates to an electric broom comprising a handle, a body and a cleaning accessory, the handle and the cleaning accessory being irremovably connected to opposite ends of the body, characterized in that:
  • the present invention relates to an electric broom as set out in detail in the claims, which are an integral part of the present description.
  • 1 designates the body of the electric broom, connected at one end to a handle 2 and at the other end to a cleaning accessory 3.
  • the handle 2 is planarly rotatable relative to the body, and the cleaning accessory 3 has a substantially triangular shape and can be tilted relative to the body.
  • the handle 2 is of the closed type, is D-shaped, can rotate by 180°, and can take three fixed angular positions relative to the body (0°, + 90° and - 90°).
  • the handle rotates by ⁇ 90°, thus taking two extreme positions ( Fig. 3 ) perpendicular to the central position ( Fig. 2 ), which in turn is parallel ( Fig. 2 ) to the front part of the accessory.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show the axis of rotation AM of the handle relative to the axis of the body AC. In a non-limiting example, it is tilted by 50° towards the front part of the accessory.
  • the head 4 of the body 1 comprises an articulation including a circular joint 5 integral with the body and divided into two parts having different diameters, the upper part 5' having a greater diameter than the lower part 5".
  • the joint 5 comprises two diametrically opposite stops (one of which, designated by reference numeral 7, is visible in the drawings).
  • the handle 2 is fitted into the circular joint 5 in a rotatable manner.
  • the underside of the handle ( Fig. 7 ) has truncated conical profiles 8 fitting into the lower part 5" of the circular joint 5, so that the handle can turn by an arc of circumference and stop against the two stops 7.
  • the profiles have a shape compliant with that of the body head 4.
  • control system includes a pair of opposite pins 9, the tips of which can engage into corresponding pairs of drafts.
  • the pins 9 are preferably pushed by springs 10, which are internally equipped with respective guides 12 firmly positioned inside the handle, which can penetrate cavities in the pins 9, so that the pins can slide relative to the guides.
  • the cleaning accessory 3 As far as the cleaning accessory 3 is concerned, it has a substantially triangular shape and is hinged, but not rotatable, relative to the axis of the body. For this purpose ( Fig. 9 ), it is connected to the body of the electric broom through a cardan joint 15.
  • the latter has one end 15' connected to a pin 16 arranged in the terminal region of the body 1, and an opposite end 15" connected to a pin (not shown in the drawing) arranged in a cavity 17 in the cleaning accessory 3.
  • the two pins are orthogonal to each other and lie at different heights relative to the body: the pin of the end 15" allows the electric broom to tilt forwards/backwards relative to the accessory, while the pin 15' allows the electric broom to be tilted laterally relative to the accessory.
  • the triangular shape of the cleaning accessory 3 is such that it has two opposite suction parts, one (at the front relative to the body) arranged at the straight front part 3', and the other arranged at the vertex 3" opposite to the straight part of the accessory.
  • the suction flow can thus be distributed between the two parts, i.e. the straight part and the opposite vertex part, so that the latter can easily reach angular areas which are difficult to get to.
  • the two joints of the cleaning accessory and of the handle allow reversible use of the electric broom, thus providing optimum access to narrow spaces while still ensuring good manoeuvrability and mobility without sticking, thus following at best the movements of the user's arm.
  • the body towards the vertex part 3" of the accessory one facilitates the use of the straight suction part
  • the opposite part 3' one facilitates the use of the vertex suction part 3".
  • the additional articulations of the handle 2 and of the pin 16 contribute to ensuring optimal bending and torsion conditions of the electric broom, while also facilitating the use thereof by right-handed and left-handed people.
