Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Staubbeutelsystem für Staubsauger, das es gestattet, einen Staubbeutel für nahezu alle Staubsaugertypen zu verwenden.The invention relates to a dust bag system for vacuum cleaners, which allows to use a dust bag for almost all vacuum cleaner types.

Das Problem, dass es für nahezu jeden Staubsaugertyp eine gerätespezifische Halteplatte für den Staubbeutel gibt, ist seit vielen Jahren bekannt. Damit ist der Nachteil für den Handel verbunden, diese Vielzahl von Staubbeuteln vorrätig zu haben und dem Kunden steht bei jedem Kauf die Suche nach dem passenden Staubbeutel bevor.The problem that there is a device-specific retaining plate for the dust bag for almost every type of vacuum cleaner has been known for many years. This is the disadvantage for retailers to have this variety of dust bags in stock and the customer is looking for the right dust bag for each purchase.

Solange wie dieses Problem bekannt ist, gibt es auch Bemühungen, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen.As long as this problem is known, there are also efforts to remedy this situation.

In der WO 95/01747 A1 wird vorgeschlagen, einen Staubbeutel zu verwenden, der eine geräteunabhängige Frontplatte mit einer Ausgangsöffnung aufweist und diese Frontplatte über Mittel zum Montieren einer gerätespezifischen Halteplatte auf dieser Frontplatte verfügt. Konkret geht es bei dem Mittel um zwei Klebestreifen, mit denen die gerätespezifische Halteplatte befestigt wird. Damit ist diese Halteplatte, die gewöhnlich aus Pappe oder einem Kunststoff besteht und die von einem vollen Originalbeutel abgelöst werden soll, verbraucht. Beim nächsten Staubbeutel fehlt somit die anzuklebende gerätespezifische Halteplatte. Vorgeschlagen wird deshalb, den Staubbeutel mit einer Entleerungsöffnung zu versehen, um ihn mehrmals zu nutzen. Wer jedoch einmal einen Staubbeutel geleert hat, weiß wie unpraktisch das ist.In the WO 95/01747 A1 It is proposed to use a dust bag having a device-independent front panel with an outlet opening and this front panel has means for mounting a device-specific retaining plate on this front panel. Specifically, the agent is two adhesive strips with which the device-specific retaining plate is attached. Thus, this plate, which usually consists of cardboard or a plastic and is to be replaced by a full original bag, consumed. The next dust bag thus lacks the device-specific retaining plate to be adhered. It is therefore proposed to provide the dust bag with a discharge opening to use it several times. However, once you have emptied a dust bag, how impractical it is.

Hinzu kommt, dass es oft zu Verunreinigungen der Klebeflächen beim Ansetzen der ja gebrauchten gerätespezifischen Halteplatten kommt und damit die Klebeverbindung instabil ist.In addition, there is often contamination of the adhesive surfaces when preparing the used device-specific retaining plates and thus the adhesive bond is unstable.

Mit der DE 198 58 832 C1 wird das Prinzip des Aufklebens einer gerätespezifischen Halteplatte auf eine Adapterplatte beibehalten, allerdings ist dies nur noch einmal notwendig, denn mit dieser Lösung wird ein an der Adapterplatte lösbar zu befestigender Staubbeutel eingeführt. Der Nachteil dieser Lösung besteht darin, dass die gerätespezifische Halteplatte aufgrund des Materials Pappe auch nur eine begrenzte Haltbarkeit hat. Der Nutzer steht nicht mehr bei jedem Staubbeutelwechsel vor der Frage, woher er eine neue gerätespezifische Halteplatte nehmen soll, sondern erst beim 3. oder 4. Wechsel.With the DE 198 58 832 C1 the principle of sticking a device-specific retaining plate is maintained on an adapter plate, but this is only necessary once again, because with this solution, a dust bag to be releasably attached to the adapter plate is introduced. The disadvantage of this solution is that the device-specific holding plate has only a limited shelf life due to the material cardboard. The user is no longer faced with the question of where he should take a new device-specific retaining plate at each Staubbeutelwechsel, but only at the 3rd or 4th change.

Die DE 20 2005 010 606 U1 und die DE 20 2007 000 103 U1 verzichten dann wieder auf einen Adapter und schlagen vor, den Staubbeutel oder eine Frontplatte des Staubbeutels direkt und lösbar mit einer gerätespezifischen Halteplatte zu verbinden. Woher der Kunde die gerätespezifische Halteplatte nehmen soll, wird allerdings nicht gesagt und so sind nach wie vor diverse Staubbeutel im Angebot.The DE 20 2005 010 606 U1 and the DE 20 2007 000 103 U1 then refrain from using an adapter and suggest connecting the dust bag or a front plate of the dust bag directly and detachably with a device-specific retaining plate. However, where the customer should take the device-specific plate is not said and so are still various dust bag on offer.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Staubbeutelsystem für Staubsauger dahingehend zu verbessern, das ein Staubbeutel für nahezu alle Staubsaugertypen verwendbar ist, wobei auf die gerätespezifischen Halteplatten verzichtet werden soll.The object of the invention is to improve a dust bag system for vacuum cleaners to the effect that a dust bag for almost all types of vacuum cleaner is used, to be dispensed with the device-specific holding plates.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1, advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird bei einem Staubbeutelsystem für Staubsauger mit einem Verbindungsrahmen, der in einer Aufnahme des Staubsaugers festlegbar ist und mit einer mit einem Staubbeutel verbindbaren Adapterplatte, wobei die Adapterplatte eine Einströmöffnung in den Staubbeutel aufweist, die Adapterplatte mit dem Verbindungsrahmen verbunden oder koppelbar ist und die Einströmöffnung der Adapterplatte mit einem Stutzen des Staubsaugers am Umfang abgedichtet verbindbar ist, vorgeschlagen, dass
der Abstand der Aussenseiten des Verbindungsrahmens so einstellbar ist, dass der Verbindungsrahmen oder mit dem Verbindungsrahmen verbundene Leisten in die Aufnahme des Staubsaugers form- und kraftschlüssig einsteckbar sind.According to the dust bag system for vacuum cleaner with a connection frame, which is fixable in a receptacle of the vacuum cleaner and connectable with a dust bag adapter plate, wherein the adapter plate has an inflow opening in the dust bag, the adapter plate is connected to the connection frame or coupled and the inlet opening the adapter plate is connected to a nozzle of the vacuum cleaner sealed at the periphery, proposed that
the distance between the outer sides of the connecting frame is adjustable so that the connecting frame or strips connected to the connecting frame in the receptacle of the vacuum cleaner are positively and non-positively plugged.

Bei einem Verbindungsrahmen aus einem M-, U- oder V-förmig gebogenen Federdraht, dessen Federarme zur Herstellung der Verbindung mit der Aufnahme dienen und an dem die Adapterplatte angeordnet ist, ist durch den Form- und Kraftschluss bereits eine exakte Positionierung der Einströmöffnung möglich.In a connection frame of a M-, U- or V-shaped bent spring wire whose spring arms are used to make the connection with the receptacle and on which the adapter plate is arranged by the positive and frictional already an exact positioning of the inflow opening possible.

Ein solcher Verbindungsrahmen gewährleistet die staubsaugerspezifische Anordnung der universellen Adapterplatte in der Aufnahme des Staubsaugers, da sie über die Möglichkeit einer Breiten- und einer Höhenanpassung verfügen. Damit ist der Weg geebnet zu einem Staubbeutel für nahezu alle Staubsaugertypen.Such a connection frame ensures the vacuum cleaner specific arrangement of the universal adapter plate in the receptacle of the vacuum cleaner, since they have the possibility of a width and a height adjustment. This paves the way to a dust bag for almost all vacuum cleaner types.

Bei dem Verbindungsrahmen aus Federdraht weist die bevorzugte Ausführung einen M-förmig gebogenen Federdraht auf, wobei die äußeren Federarme zur Herstellung der Verbindung mit der Aufnahme im Staubsauger eingesetzt sind und das Mittelteil des Federdrahtes mit der Adapterplatte verbunden ist.In the connection frame made of spring wire, the preferred embodiment has an M-shaped bent spring wire, wherein the outer spring arms are used to make the connection with the receptacle in the vacuum cleaner and the middle part of the spring wire is connected to the adapter plate.

Bei den weiteren Ausführungen mit einem U- oder V-förmig gebogener Federdraht jeweils beidseitig der Adapterplatte in einer Ebene als Verbindungsrahmen angeordnet, ist jeweils ein Arm mit der Adapterplatte verbunden und der jeweils andere ist als Federarm zur Herstellung der Verbindung mit der Aufnahme des Staubsaugers eingesetzt.In the other versions with a U- or V-shaped bent spring wire arranged on both sides of the adapter plate in a plane as a connecting frame, one arm is connected to the adapter plate and the other is used as a spring arm for making the connection with the recording of the vacuum cleaner ,

Werden Leisten verwendet, sind diese bei einer Ausführung lösbar mit den Federarmen verbunden, vorzugsweise aufgesteckt und vorzugsweise verdrehgesichert. Dabei können verschiedene Breiten genutzt werden, so dass der Federweg für die Federarme begrenzt werden kann.If strips are used, they are in one embodiment releasably connected to the spring arms, preferably plugged and preferably secured against rotation. Different widths can be used, so that the spring travel for the spring arms can be limited.

Indem die Einstecktiefe der Federarme in die Leisten einstellbar ist, lässt sich die Einstecköffnung ohne Verschieben der Leisten in der Aufnahme optimal in Übereinstimmung mit dem Stutzen des Staubsaugers bringen. Natürlich können die Leisten auch fest oder lösbar mit den Federarmen verbunden sein und die Länge der Leisten ist einstellbar. Zur Längeneinstellung der Leisten weisen diese bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung Abbrechabschnitte auf. Die Leisten lassen sich so auf das notwendige Maß kürzen. Markierungen mit Hinweisen auf den Staubsaugertyp können dabei hilfreich sein.By the insertion depth of the spring arms is adjustable in the strips, the insertion can be optimally bring into line with the neck of the vacuum cleaner without moving the strips in the recording. Of course, the strips can also be permanently or detachably connected to the spring arms and the length of the strips is adjustable. For length adjustment of the strips, these have in a preferred embodiment break off sections. The strips can be cut to the necessary extent. Markings indicating the type of vacuum cleaner can help.

Bei großen Aufnahmebreiten können in die Aufnahme des Staubsaugers auch ein- oder beidseitig den Abstand verkleinernde Aufnahmeschienen eingesetzt werden, so dass eine geeignete Aufnahmebreite für den Verbindungsrahmen erreicht wird, die noch eine form- und kraftschlüssig Einsteckverbindung garantiert.With large recording widths can in the admission of the Vacuum cleaner also on one or both sides of the distance decreasing receiving rails are used, so that a suitable receiving width for the connection frame is achieved, which still guarantees a positive and non-positive insertion.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass trotz der Verschiedenheit der Halteplatten für die Staubbeutel der Staubsauger die Breite der Halteplatten und damit die Aufnahme sich auf wenige Grundbreiten reduziert hat. Insoweit sind die Einsatzmöglichkeiten, die durch ein Zusammendrücken der Federarme realisierbar sind, schon sehr groß. Die genannten Verstellmöglichkeiten dürften sich damit auf Sondermodelle von Staubsaugern beschränken.It has been shown that despite the diversity of the holding plates for the dust bags of the vacuum cleaner, the width of the holding plates and thus the recording has been reduced to a few basic widths. In that regard, the possible applications that can be realized by compressing the spring arms are already very large. The above adjustment should therefore be limited to special models of vacuum cleaners.

Bei den herkömmlichen Staubbeuteln werden einfache Dichtungen eingesetzt, da diese mit dem Staubbeutel jeweils entsorgt werden. Durch die Trennung der Dichtung vom Staubbeutel und die Anordnung der Dichtung auf der Einströmöffnung der Adapterplatte oder in einer Dichtungshalterung auf der Adapterplatte gehört die Dichtung nicht mehr zu den Wegwerfteilen. Damit können hochwertige Dichtungen eingesetzt werden, was zur Folge hat, dass weniger feiner Staub in den Staubsauger gelangt und dort zu Verschmutzungen bis hin zu Ausfällen führt.In the conventional dust bags simple seals are used because they are disposed of with the dust bag each. Due to the separation of the seal from the dust bag and the arrangement of the seal on the inlet opening of the adapter plate or in a seal holder on the adapter plate, the seal no longer belongs to the disposable parts. This high-quality seals can be used, with the result that less fine dust gets into the vacuum cleaner and there leads to contamination up to failures.

Vorzugsweise ist die Dichtung auch lösbar an einer Dichtungshalterung der Adapterplatte angeordnet.Preferably, the seal is also arranged detachably on a seal holder of the adapter plate.

Die Erfindung soll anhand der Zeichnung erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

The invention will be explained with reference to the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1:
Connecting frame in a vacuum cleaner receptacle and
Fig. 2:
relaxed connection frame.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt in einer Ansicht der Anschlussseite für den Staubbeutel den Verbindungsrahmen 1 in der Aufnahme 6 des Staubsaugers.The Fig . 1 shows in a view of the connection side for the dust bag the connection frame 1 in the receptacle 6 of the vacuum cleaner.

Der Abstand der Aussenseiten 2, 3 des Verbindungsrahmens 1 ist so einstellbar, dass die mit dem Verbindungsrahmen 1 verbundenen Leisten 9 in die Aufnahme 6 des Staubsaugers federbelastet form- und kraftschlüssig einsteckbar sind.The distance between the outer sides 2, 3 of the connecting frame 1 is adjustable so that the connected to the connecting frame 1 strips 9 in the receptacle 6 of the vacuum cleaner spring loaded positively and non-positively inserted.

Der Verbindungsrahmen 1 besteht dazu hier aus einem M-förmig gebogenen Federdraht, wobei die äußeren Federarme 7, 8 zur Herstellung der Verbindung mit der Aufnahme 6 eingesetzt sind, indem sie Leisten 9 aufweisen, die federbelastet form- und kraftschlüssig in die Aufnahme 6 einsteckbar sind. Dazu werden die bei entspanntem Federdraht schräg nach außen weisenden Federarme 7, 8 mit den Leisten 9 ( Fig. 2 ) zusammengedrückt und in die Aufnahme 6 eingesetzt. Die Federarme 7, 8 drücken dann die Leisten 9 in die Aufnahme 6, die bei den meisten Staubsaugern durch eine Längsnutpaarung gebildet wird. Es entsteht federbelasteter Form- und Kraftschluss.The connecting frame 1 consists here of an M-shaped bent spring wire, wherein the outer spring arms 7, 8 are used to make the connection with the receptacle 6 by having strips 9, the spring-loaded positive and non-positive in the receptacle 6 can be inserted , For this purpose, the relaxed at spring wire obliquely outwardly facing spring arms 7, 8 with the strips 9 ( Fig. 2 ) and inserted into the receptacle 6. The spring arms 7, 8 then press the strips 9 in the receptacle 6, which is formed in most vacuum cleaners by a Längsnutpaarung. The result is spring-loaded form and adhesion.

Das Mittelteil 10 des M-förmig ausgebildeten Federdrahtes, ist mit der Adapterplatte 4 so verbunden, dass die Einstecköffnung 5 für den Saugstutzen des Staubsaugers frei bleibt. Durch die Verbindung größerer Abschnitte der Adapterplatte 4 mit dem Federdraht oder durch eine nicht linienförmige Mehrpunktbefestigung des Federdrahtes an der Adapterplatte 4 wird eine stabile Lage der Adapterplatte 4 gewährleistet.The middle part 10 of the M-shaped spring wire, is connected to the adapter plate 4 so that the insertion opening 5 for the suction nozzle of the vacuum cleaner remains free. By connecting larger portions of the adapter plate 4 with the spring wire or by a non-linear multi-point attachment of the spring wire to the adapter plate 4, a stable position of the adapter plate 4 is ensured.

Zur Positionierung des Verbindungsrahmens 1 in der Aufnahme 6 nicht nur durch den Kraftschluss ist die Einstecktiefe der Federarme 7, 8 in die Leisten 9 einstellbar und/oder die Länge der Leisten 9 ist einstellbar.For positioning of the connecting frame 1 in the receptacle 6 not only by the frictional engagement is the insertion depth of the spring arms 7, 8 adjustable in the strips 9 and / or the length of the strips 9 is adjustable.

Zur Längeneinstellung der Leisten 9 weisen diese Abbrechabschnitte 11 auf.For length adjustment of the strips 9, these break-off sections 11.

Eine hochwertige Dichtung 13 dichtet die Einstecköffnung 5 bei eingesetztem Saugstutzen ab. Auf der Adapterplatte 4 befindet sich der Adapterring 14, mit dem ein nunmehr einheitlicher Staubbeutel an der Adapterplatte 4 lösbar zum Wechseln befestigt ist.A high-quality seal 13 seals the insertion opening 5 with inserted suction. On the adapter plate 4 is the adapter ring 14, with which a now uniform dust bag on the adapter plate 4 is releasably secured for changing.

Durch die Trennung der Dichtung 13 vom Staubbeutel und die Anordnung der Dichtung 13 auf der Einströmöffnung der Adapterplatte 4 gehört die Dichtung nicht mehr zu der Wegwerfteilen. Damit können hochwertige Dichtungen eingesetzt werden, z.B. Doppellippendichtungen.Due to the separation of the seal 13 from the dust bag and the arrangement of the seal 13 on the inflow opening of the adapter plate 4, the seal no longer belongs to the disposable parts. Thus, high quality seals can be used, eg double lip seals.
