- the displacement of the first blocking element 250 causes, when the first receptacle 254 lies above the recess 258, an immersion of the first immersion element 246, in which case the positive connection between the first tube 46 and the second tube 48 is lifted and the first tube 46 relative to the second tube 48 is displaceable.

- the second locking device 242 Upon actuation of the slide 280, the second locking device 242 is locked simultaneously with the first locking device 240. Due to the third locking device 244, however, the second tube 48 remains fixed to the third tube 52, as long as the third immersion element 284 is not immersed in the recess 294.
- FIGS. 15 (a), 15 (b) and 16 different positions of the first tube 46 to the second tube 48 are shown, with the second tube 48 fixed to the third tube 52 via the third latch 244.
- the positions of the first tube 46 to the second tube 48 indicated in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b) are positions with the locking position.
- the position of FIG. 15 (a) corresponds to a position for a hand suction operation.
- the position of Figure 15 (b) corresponds to a position for a bottom suction operation for a small operator.
- the position of the nozzle port 24 and thus also a suction nozzle relative to the first housing side 16 is adjustable within the predetermined distance.
- FIG. 20 shows a locking position for the first locking device 240, the second locking device 242 and the third locking device 244, which corresponds to the standing position 22, that is to say in which the tube device 14 has a minimum length.
- FIG. 21 shows a position of the pipe device 14 which corresponds to the position according to FIG.
- first tube 46 is pulled out of the second tube 48 so far that the third immersion element 284 can penetrate into the recess 294 in the region of the end 292, then a locking position of the first locking device 240 is reached.
- the third locking device 244 is now in an unlocked position and basically the second tube 48 is longitudinally displaceable relative to the third tube 52 and the second locking device 242 now determines a displaceability of the second tube 48 to the third tube 52 and a determination of a displacement position by adjusting the corresponding Locking position of the second locking device 242.
- Figures 17, 18 and 22 corresponding different positions for locked positions of the second tube 48 to the third tube 52 are shown.
- the first latch 250 is decoupled from the slider 280 and thus from a second latch 270. See . for example, Figure 22.
- the first blocking element 250 is spaced from the second blocking element 270.
- the second tube 48 is pushed back into the third tube 52 within its corresponding distance by locking the second locking means 242, then an end position is reached when the first locking member 250 contacts the face end 282 of the second locking member 270 strikes.
- a locking position of the first locking device 240 can then be achieved and the third immersion element 284 can dip into the receptacle 286.
- the second tube 48 is fixed to the third tube 52 and the first tube 46 can be in move the second tube 48. It is then the stand position 22 again.
- a length of the tube device 14 can be set over a large length range via (at least) three tube elements 46, 48, 52. It must be provided only one operating element, namely the slider 280. This results in a high ease of use.
- the position of the slider 280 determines whether the second locking means 242 (and the first locking means 240) are in the locking position or not, starting from the stand position 22. If the first locking device 240 is not in the locking position, then the first tube 46 can be moved relative to the second tube 48. A displaceability of the second tube 48 to the third tube 52 is predetermined by the position of the first tube 46 to the second tube 48, without an additional operating element must be provided.
- the length adjustment of the tube device 14 has a high operating comfort.
- the solution according to the invention can also be transferred to a tube device with more than three tubes.
- the tube device with the three tubes 46, 48, 52 and the corresponding locking devices 240, 242, 244 effectively forms a basic cell for a construction with more than three tubes.
- a vacuum cleaner 10 which has extensive deployment functions.
- the vacuum cleaner 10 can be stored in the stand position 22 to save space.
- the vacuum cleaner 10 can also be used as a hand vacuum cleaner, which is kept free and is not supported for example on a floor.
- the required length can be adjusted via the tube device 14 by means of operation of the slider 280 in a simple manner. It can be a "Upright-suction realize", which has a stand function, the vacuum cleaner but can also be used as a hand vacuum.
- the vacuum cleaner 10 can be realized in a compact, space-saving manner. It can be trained with relatively low mass and can be used quickly. He can at the discretion of the user due to the stand function in the
- Stand position 22 can be stored space-saving, without a wall for leaning or the like is needed.
- the flow path 226 and also the flow regions 210, 212 result in a reduced noise emission with a low flow loss, with the means for sound reduction not having a relevant effect on the performance of the vacuum cleaner 10 with regard to its suction function.
- the pin-shaped active elements 116, 186 on the pre-separator 122 can be carried out in a simple way a dirt emptying.
