- This control member 40 is however subject to a hook 54 whose curved end 55 engages in an edge 56 arranged in the junction zone 39, as shown in FIG. figure 14 , which ensures the locking of the bowl 17 on the body 2 when the suction chamber 18 is formed.
- the locking of the curved end 55 in the edge 56 is done automatically at the end of engagement of the bowl 17 on the body 2.
- the curved end 55 comprises an inclined portion 57 bearing on an inclined face 58 s extending forwardly below the edge 56.
- a spring (not shown) similar to the first spring 50 allows the return of the control member 40, as before. It is understood that, according to this variant, the transmission of the movement to the hook 54 is ensured directly by the control member 40. However, an additional transmission element could be provided between the control member 40 and the hook 54.
- Variations of the guiding and holding system 19 may in particular be envisaged by modifying the shape of the cam 20 and the cam path 21, which will substantially modify the trajectory of the bowl 17 vis-à-vis the body 2 during its engagement or its release.

Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des appareils de nettoyage et, plus particulièrement, un aspirateur à main sans sac, autrement appelé aspirateur à main cyclonique.The present invention relates to the field of cleaning apparatus and, more particularly, to a bagless hand vacuum, otherwise known as a cyclonic hand aspirator.
Un tel aspirateur a pour vocation d'être compact et porté avec une main pour aspirer des surfaces basses, par exemple un plan de travail ou des marches d'escalier, ou des surfaces rehaussées, par exemple un plafond ou un mur voire un mobilier disposé en hauteur.Such a vacuum cleaner is intended to be compact and carried with a hand to suck low surfaces, such as a worktop or stairs, or raised surfaces, for example a ceiling or a wall or furniture arranged in height.
Les aspirateurs à main sans sac sont connus de l'homme du métier. Un tel aspirateur comprend un corps qui est muni à l'arrière d'une poignée de préhension et qui intègre des moyens d'aspiration. L'aspirateur comprend également un tube d'aspiration par l'extrémité avant duquel sont aspirées les impuretés et une chambre de filtration agencée entre le tube d'aspiration et les moyens d'aspiration sur le corps pour recevoir et stocker provisoirement les impuretés aspirées. La chambre de filtration comprend un bol qui communique avec le tube d'aspiration et un élément filtrant qui est logé dans le bol et qui communique avec les moyens d'aspiration.Bagless hand vacuums are known to those skilled in the art. Such an aspirator comprises a body which is provided at the rear with a handle and which incorporates suction means. The vacuum cleaner also comprises a suction tube through the front end which is sucked impurities and a filter chamber arranged between the suction tube and the suction means on the body for receiving and temporarily store the impurities sucked. The filtration chamber comprises a bowl which communicates with the suction tube and a filter element which is housed in the bowl and which communicates with the suction means.
Lors de l'activation des moyens d'aspiration, le flux d'air génère une dépression permettant d'aspirer les impuretés par l'extrémité avant du tube d'aspiration ; le flux d'air chargé d'impuretés circule dans ledit tube puis pénètre dans le bol où les impuretés restent emprisonnées en grande partie grâce à une force centrifuge générée dans ce bol, tandis que l'élément filtrant disposé en aval (en tenant compte du sens de circulation du flux d'air) permet de retenir les fines particules d'impuretés, le flux d'air filtré poursuivant ensuite son circuit dans le corps sous l'action desdits moyens d'aspiration, pour être finalement rejeté dudit corps, par exemple à l'arrière de celui-ci.When activating the suction means, the air flow generates a vacuum to suck the impurities by the front end of the suction tube; the impure air flow circulates in said tube and then enters the bowl where the impurities are largely trapped by a centrifugal force generated in this bowl, while the filter element disposed downstream (taking into account the direction of circulation of the air flow) makes it possible to retain the fine particles of impurities, the stream of filtered air then continuing its circuit in the body under the action of said suction means, to be finally rejected from said body, by example at the back of it.
