Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multifunctional nozzle for a vacuum cleaner comprising a tube connector and at least two arms which are pivotably connected to the tube connector whereas the arms creates a crevice nozzle in a folded first position and an upholstery nozzle in an unfolded second position.
  • the patent application US 5 502 870 A discloses a multi-function vacuum cleaner nozzle for attachment to the end of a vacuum cleaner hose.
  • the device comprises a housing body, a dust brush, and two pivotal cleaning arms.
  • Housing has three ports and extending therethrough, with ports being adapted to receive a suction conduit. Port is fitted with dust brush which snaps into a recess encircling said housing. Insertion of the conduit into port selects the arms to receive suction air and substantially doses off port. Arms are attached on the end of port which is opposite port. Friction ridges and interact with each other, allowing several stable positions for arms. This makes the arms adjustable between upholstery, crevice, edge and corner tool positions.
  • Insertion of said conduit into port selects said dust brush to receive suction air and substantially closes off port.
  • the friction ridges do not provide stable fixing of the arms in required position. Moreover, after long usage of the nozzle the friction ridges can be damaged as a result of friction. Therefore the nozzle can lose its functionality.
  • Document JPH11113815A discloses a multifunctional nozzle with two pivotal elongated arms for smoothly cleaning without troubling in detaching or exchanging a T-shaped nozzle i.e. when said arms are in unfolded position and a crevice nozzle i.e. when said arms are in folded position.
  • the nozzle is provided with a slide pipe in the outside of a suction pipe and a side face presser part in the tip end of the slide pipe which acts on elongated arms.
  • Said elongated arms are fixed by rotary shafts provided on both sides of the suction port. Elongated arms are connected each other by a spring which attracts them to unfolded position.
  • crevice nozzle In order to form crevice nozzle, said elongated arms are blocked by the slide pipe which is slidingly mounted on the suction, namely the side force presser directly presses the elongated arms during the slide pipe is moved towards the suction port.
  • the slide pipe In the presented solution sufficient space must be provided on the suction pipe for receiving the slide pipe and moving it, what unfavorably affects the possibility of size reduction of the nozzle. More over after long usage of the nozzle the slide pipe can be blocked on the suction pipe due to mutual fiction or contamination.
  • a further object of the present invention is to prevent uncontrolled movement of the pivotable arms during usage.
  • the nozzle has at least one arm.
  • nozzle has two arms which can be positioned as a crevice nozzle or an upholstery nozzle.
  • At least one arm is secured in the crevice position and the other arm is in an upholstery position which provides the nozzle with a third position, useful for cleaning edges.
  • Secured according to the invention means that it is not possible to move the at least one pivotable arm out of this position into another position.
  • the slider is a movable element preferably out of plastic, which is guided by slider guide.
  • the slider guide consists of at least two parts. One part is placed on the tube connector and one another part is placed on one of the at least two arms. The second function of the second part of the slider guide is to fix a brush to the pivotable arms.
  • the slider guide elongates from the tube connector to at least on arm.
  • the slider guide consists of at least three parts. One part of the slider guide is placed on the tube connector and one another part is placed on one of the at least two arms. The slider guide elongates from the tube connector to at least on arm.
  • a slider has a at least one slider protrusion which prevents uncontrolled movement of the slider.
  • the slider is an element movable from the tube connector part towards the pivotable arms to firmly join the pivotable arms in the folded first position.
  • Folded first position means that the angle between the pivotable arms are 0°. In such position an air inlet of the multifunctional nozzle is small and the nozzle can be used for cleaning small limited spaces e.g. slots.
  • To unblock the movement of the pivotable arms the slider has to be moved from the arms towards the tube connector. The movement of the slider is carried along a slider guide which elongates from the tube connector to the arms. When the slider is on the tube connector part the pivotable arms are movable.
  • Slider protrusions are small elements which are placed on the slider. At least one slider protrusion cooperates with at least one blocking element of the multifunctional nozzle. Blocking elements are small protrusions which are placed on the tube connector. Cooperation between slider protrusions and bocking elements means that the slider protrusions and blockig elements can be detachable connected with each other. In order to change position of the slider the user have to use some force to disassemble or assemble the connection.
  • the tube connector is a part of a multifunctional nozzle designed for its fixing with a hose of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the slider is guided by a slider guide which means that the slider can change its position only along said slider guide.
  • the pair of pivotable arms are guided by grooves and studs which means that the pair of pivotable arms are connected rotatably with the tube connector. Rotatable connection is provided by cooperation of grooves with corresponding studs. Each groove is made on each pivotable arm and the stud is small protrusion made on the tube connector of the multifunctional nozzle.
  • the pair of pivotable arms in unfolded second position forms and angle between 175° and 185°.
  • the angle ⁇ is 180°.
  • the pair of pivotable arms in such unfolded second position creates an upholstery nozzle which is dedicated for plain surfaces e.g. for floor.
  • a brush can be mounted to said arms.
  • the brush is additional detachable element of preferably rectangular shape.
  • the brush has a fastening means which are fastened with the pivotable arms by slider guide. Fastening of the brush to the said pair of pivotable arms is realized by connecting the second part of the slider guide which is placed on each of two pivotable arms with the fastening elements placed on the brush.
  • the fastening elements has hooked shape.
  • the brush has plurality of dust picking bristles.
  • the present invention provide a multifunctional nozzle with a pair of pivotable arms which can be set in different positions for different cleaning surfaces e.g. edges, slots or floor. Location of the multifunctional nozzle pivotable arms in the crevice nozzle position is secured by slider which prevents from uncontrolled movement of the pivotable arms during vacuuming.
  • the electrical vacuum cleaner comprises a nozzle for sucking up dust from the floor or other cleaning surface, a pipe which is connected to the handle, a flexible hose wherein the dust is guided to the vacuum cleaner. Inside the vacuum cleaner there is a motor and the fan for creating air stream and filter system for collecting dust.
