Abstract

The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner comprising a suction hose, which can be connected to a suction tube by means of a handle. On the handle 1 is formed a connection pipe 2 for the suction tube 3, the free end of which can be profiled in the form of a nozzle for joints; the connection pipe 2 can be telescopically changeable in length, or it can be bent perpendicular to its axis.

Description

The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner comprising a flexible

suction, which can be connected

  to a suction tube via a handle.

  For the cleaning of joints or corners and narrow slots with a vacuum cleaner, it is known to equip this vacuum cleaner with an acoessoire constituted by a nozzle for joints. In existing vacuum cleaners, these nozzles are stored in the

  the vacuum cleaner housing, which eliminates

  te of the joint nozzle. Despite this, the handling of this device is not solved optimally. Without changing the position of the vacuum cleaner, it is generally necessary to perform several interrelated operations, such as cleaning the floor and dusting the upholstery furniture and heating bodies. it

  requires a constant change in the equipment required.

  sary. The joint nozzle must be constantly removed from its position, the suction hose must be removed and the joint nozzle must be attached to the joint.

  handle. Because of these constant changes, the use of

  The nozzle tends to change the nozzles as seldom as possible and to do without complete cleaning, especially since the known joint nozzles have a very rigid shape and therefore have possibilities.

very limited use.

  Accordingly, the object of the invention is to facilitate the use of the joint nozzle and to enlarge

its field of application.

  This problem is solved according to the invention

  in that a handle is formed on the handle

  cord for the suction tube, the free end

  can be shaped into a joint nozzle.

  In this way, after removal of the suction tube from the handle, the connection pipe can be profiled as required and at all times as a joint nozzle. The user does not have to look for the joint nozzle at its storage location or to remove the nozzle accumulator which

  is integrated in the vacuum cleaner. In an application, for example

  By vacuum cleaning areas that are difficult to reach in a dwelling, the user separates the suction pipe from the connection pipe and profiles it in the form of a joint nozzle. The profiling is achieved by a simple compression of the free end of the connecting pipe by a force exerted by hand or foot. As a result, the mouth hole of the

  tubing takes the spatial form of a joint nozzle.

  After completion of the cleaning operation with the joint nozzle, it is again converted, by hand or foot pressure, into the shape of a connecting pipe, and this pipe is connected with the suction tube. Advantageously the tubing of

  connection can be modified in length in a telescopic

  that, so that also the more remote areas

  can be easily cleaned by suction.

  tion. In addition, the connecting pipe can, outside

  of its length change, also be bent

  perpendicular to its axis so that it is possible, with the joint nozzle according to the invention, to clean by suction any hard to reach area

of a dwelling.

  Other features and advantages of the invention

  will be highlighted in the rest of the description

  given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 shows a handle provided with a suction hose and the connecting pipe according to the invention; FIG. 2 represents another embodiment of the invention:

  Figure 3 represents yet another form of realization

of the invention.

  Figure 1 shows a handle 1 provided

  of a suction hose 4 and a connecting pipe-

  joint nozzle and, after use, it is possible to

  by pressure, to bring it back to its original

initial form.

  Advantageously, the connecting pipe 2 can be extended telescopically - as shown
