しかしながら、接続管が吸込口の背面側に回る方向に回動可能に構成されたものでは、エアコンや家具等の高い位置の上面部分を掃除しようとしても吸込口が高い位置の上面部分に接するようには回動しないので、高い位置の上面部分を掃除できない課題があった。   However, in the case where the connecting pipe is configured to be rotatable in the direction of turning to the back side of the suction port, the suction port is in contact with the upper surface portion of the higher position even if it is intended to clean the upper surface portion of the higher position such as an air conditioner or furniture. However, there is a problem that the upper surface portion at a high position cannot be cleaned.

また、上記特許文献1や特許文献2に開示されたものでは、ホースや延長管に接続された接続管の脱着と吸込口部を接続管の軸回りに回動することにより、高い位置の上面部分の掃除も可能であるが、接続管の脱着などの手間がかかるという課題があった。   Moreover, in what was indicated by the said patent document 1 and the patent document 2, the upper surface of a high position is obtained by removing the connection pipe connected to the hose or the extension pipe and rotating the suction port portion around the axis of the connection pipe. Although it is possible to clean the part, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to attach and detach the connecting pipe.

そこで、本願発明はこのような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、高い場所の上面部分の掃除を接続管の脱着などの手間無しに行うことが可能な掃除機用アタッチメントを提供することを目的とするものである。   Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and provides an attachment for a vacuum cleaner that can clean the upper surface portion of a high place without troubles such as detachment of a connecting pipe. It is intended.

上記のような目的を達成するために、吸込口を有する吸込口部と、電気掃除機本体に連結されたホースや延長管に接続される接続管と、この接続管を前記吸込口部に連通させると共に接続管が吸込口の背面側に回る方向と吸込口側に回る方向に回動可能に連結する連結部とを備え、前記接続管が前記吸込口の背面側に回動されたときは吸込口側に空気導入口が形成され、前記接続管が前記吸込口側に回動されたときは吸込口の背面側に空気導入口が形成されるように構成したことを特徴とするものである。 In order to achieve the above object, a suction port portion having a suction port, a connection pipe connected to a hose or an extension pipe connected to the main body of the vacuum cleaner, and the connection pipe communicated with the suction port portion. When the connecting pipe is rotated to the back side of the suction port, the connecting pipe is connected to the back side of the suction port and the connecting portion is rotatably connected to the direction of the suction port. An air introduction port is formed on the suction port side, and when the connection pipe is turned to the suction port side, an air introduction port is formed on the back side of the suction port. is there.

さらに、前記吸込口の開口縁にブラシが植毛されて成ることを特徴とするものである。   Furthermore, a brush is planted on the opening edge of the suction port.

また、前記吸込口部は、前記連結部の回動軸を支点として前記接続管側にも力点が形成されて成ることを特徴とする。   Further, the suction port portion is characterized in that a force point is also formed on the connecting pipe side with the rotation shaft of the connecting portion as a fulcrum.

また、前記接続管を略への字形状に形成したことを特徴とするものである。   Further, the connecting pipe is formed in a substantially U shape.

また、前記吸込口を前記接続管が回動する側を開放した略コの字形状に形成すると共に、その開放部の上面側と接続管側に接続管の回動範囲を規制するストッパー部を形成したことを特徴とするものである。   In addition, the suction port is formed in a substantially U shape with the side where the connecting pipe rotates, and a stopper portion that restricts the rotation range of the connecting pipe on the upper surface side and the connecting pipe side of the open part. It is formed.

また、前記連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、前記ブラシの長さを前記回動軸が形成された側とは反対側が漸次長くなるように構成したことを特徴とするものである。   Further, the rotation shaft of the connecting portion is formed by being biased to one side of the suction port in which the brush is planted on the opening edge, and the length of the brush is gradually increased on the side opposite to the side on which the rotation shaft is formed. It is characterized by being configured to be long.

一方、前記連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、前記ブラシの密度を前記回動軸が形成された側が高くなり、反対側が低くなるように構成したことを特徴とするものである。   On the other hand, the rotating shaft of the connecting portion is formed by being biased to one side of the suction port in which the brush is planted on the opening edge, and the density of the brush is higher on the side where the rotating shaft is formed, and the opposite side is lower. It is characterized by comprising.

また、前記連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、前記ブラシのこしの強さを前記回動軸が形成された側が強くなり、反対側が弱くなるように構成したことを特徴とするものである。   Further, the rotating shaft of the connecting portion is formed by being biased to one side of the suction port in which the brush is planted on the opening edge, and the strength of the brush is strengthened on the side where the rotating shaft is formed, It is characterized in that the side is weakened.

また、前記連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、前記回動軸が形成された側の吸込口開口縁にはブラシを植毛せずにブラシの長さに相当する開口縁を形成したことを特徴とするものである。   Further, the rotation shaft of the connecting portion is formed to be biased to one side of the suction port in which the brush is planted on the opening edge, and the brush is planted on the suction port opening edge on the side on which the rotation shaft is formed. In this case, an opening edge corresponding to the length of the brush is formed.

さらに、前記ブラシの長さに相当する開口縁の底面には、傷付き防止処理を施したことを特徴とするものである。   Further, the bottom surface of the opening edge corresponding to the length of the brush is subjected to a scratch preventing process.

また、前記ブラシの長さに相当する開口縁とブラシが植毛された開口縁とを傾斜面で連続させたことを特徴とするものである。   Further, the opening edge corresponding to the length of the brush and the opening edge on which the brush is planted are made continuous on an inclined surface.

一方、前記連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、前記吸込口部を前記回動軸の偏りによる掃除時の回動方向とは反対方向に付勢する付勢手段を備えたことを特徴とするものである。   On the other hand, the rotation axis of the connecting portion is formed to be biased to one side of the suction port in which a brush is planted on the opening edge, and the rotation direction at the time of cleaning due to the bias of the rotation shaft is defined. An urging means for urging in the opposite direction is provided.

また、前記吸込口部を前記接続管の延長方向に固定する係合部を備えたことを特徴とするものである。   In addition, an engagement portion that fixes the suction port portion in an extending direction of the connection pipe is provided.

本願発明によれば、接続管が吸込口の背面側に回る方向と吸込口側に回る方向に回動可能に構成されているので、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の上面掃除でも接続管の脱着などの手間無しに行うことが可能となる。
また、接続管が吸込口の背面側に回動されたときは吸込口側に空気導入口が形成され、接続管が吸込口側に回動されたときは吸込口の背面側に空気導入口が形成されるように構成することにより、常に使用者とは逆側に空気導入口が位置するので、風切り音が気になるのを軽減することができる。また、このような空気導入口は掃除機本体側の電動送風機の負荷軽減のために設けられるが、接続管が回動される側の空気導入口が塞がれても他方の空気導入口が機能するので、どのような状態でも掃除機本体の電動送風機に大きな負荷がかかるのを防ぐことができる。
According to the present invention, since the connection pipe is configured to be rotatable in the direction of turning to the back side of the suction port and the direction of turning to the suction port side, the connection pipe can be detached even when cleaning the top surface of a high place such as an air conditioner or furniture. It becomes possible to carry out without trouble.
Also, when the connecting pipe is turned to the back side of the suction port, an air introduction port is formed on the suction port side, and when the connection tube is turned to the suction port side, the air introduction port is formed on the back side of the suction port. Since the air inlet is always located on the side opposite to the user, the concern about wind noise can be reduced. In addition, such an air inlet is provided to reduce the load on the electric blower on the main body side of the cleaner, but even if the air inlet on the side where the connecting pipe is rotated is blocked, the other air inlet is Since it functions, it is possible to prevent a large load from being applied to the electric blower of the cleaner body in any state.

さらに、吸込口の開口縁にはブラシが植毛されて成るものであるから、床面等の低い場所は勿論、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の上面部分に付着した見え難く吸い込み難い埃なども効率良く拭き取って吸い込むことができる。   Furthermore, since the brush is planted on the opening edge of the suction port, not only low places such as the floor, but also dust that is difficult to see and suck on the upper surface of high places such as air conditioners and furniture is efficient. Can be wiped well and inhaled.

また、吸込口部は、連結部の回動軸を支点として接続管側にも力点が形成されて成るものであるから、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の垂直面の掃除から上面の掃除への移行時に、垂直面と上面との角部に吸込口部の接続管側の力点が接した際に支点と力点の関係から吸込口部が自動的に上面に沿う角度に回動するので、上面の掃除への移行が自動的に行える。   In addition, the suction port portion is formed by forming a force point on the connecting pipe side with the rotation axis of the coupling portion as a fulcrum, so that the cleaning from the vertical surface of the high place such as an air conditioner or furniture to the cleaning of the upper surface is performed. At the time of transition, when the power point on the connecting pipe side of the suction port contacts the corner between the vertical surface and the upper surface, the suction port automatically rotates to an angle along the upper surface from the relationship between the fulcrum and the power point. The transition to cleaning can be done automatically.

また、接続管を略への字形状に形成することにより、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の上面を掃除する際に、垂直面と上面との角部に接続管が当たるのを防ぐことができるので、吸込口部を上面のより奥まで当てることができる。また、吸込口が接続管に当接するまで回動させて、コンパクトな折り畳み収納が可能となる。   In addition, by forming the connection pipe in a substantially U shape, it is possible to prevent the connection pipe from hitting the corner between the vertical surface and the upper surface when cleaning the upper surface of a high place such as an air conditioner or furniture. Therefore, the suction port portion can be applied to the back of the upper surface. Moreover, it is rotated until the suction port comes into contact with the connecting pipe, and compact folding storage is possible.

また、吸込口を接続管が回動する側を開放した略コの字形状に形成すると共に、接続管が吸込口側に回る方向(吸込口が接続管側に回る方向)への回動がフリーとなるのを規制しようとする場合、一般的には吸込口の流路側にストッパー部を構成することが考えられるが、このように構成するとゴミ詰まりや異音等の問題が生じる。そこで、吸込口を接続管が回動する側を開放した略コの字形状に形成すると共に、その開放部の上面側と接続管側に接続管の回動範囲を規制するストッパー部を形成することにより、流路側にストッパー部を設けることによる上記のような問題が生じることなく、接続管が吸込口側に回る方向(吸込口が接続管側に回る方向)への回動がフリーとなるのを規制することができる。   In addition, the suction port is formed in a substantially U shape with the connection tube rotating side open, and the connection tube rotates toward the suction port side (the rotation direction of the suction port toward the connection tube side). When it is going to restrict free, generally, it is considered that a stopper portion is formed on the flow path side of the suction port. However, such a configuration causes problems such as dust clogging and abnormal noise. Therefore, the suction port is formed in a substantially U shape with the connection tube rotating side open, and a stopper portion for restricting the rotation range of the connection tube is formed on the upper surface side and the connection tube side of the opening. Thus, the rotation in the direction in which the connection pipe turns to the suction port side (the direction in which the suction port turns to the connection pipe side) becomes free without causing the above-described problems due to the provision of the stopper portion on the flow path side. Can be regulated.

また、連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、ブラシの長さを回動軸が形成された側とは反対側が漸次長くなるように構成することにより、吸込口部を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に回動軸が形成された側が沈み込み、反対側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   In addition, the rotation shaft of the connecting portion is formed to be biased to one side of the suction port in which the brush is implanted in the opening edge, and the length of the brush is gradually increased on the side opposite to the side on which the rotation shaft is formed. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the side on which the rotation shaft is formed from sinking and the other side from floating when trying to press the suction port portion against the surface to be cleaned.

一方、連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、ブラシの密度を回動軸が形成された側が高くなり、反対側が低くなるように構成することによっても、吸込口部を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に回動軸が形成された側が沈み込み、反対側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   On the other hand, the rotation axis of the connecting part is formed by being biased to one side of the suction port in which the brush is planted at the opening edge, and the density of the brush is increased on the side where the rotation axis is formed, and the opposite side is decreased. Also by configuring, it is possible to prevent the side on which the rotating shaft is formed from sinking and the other side from floating when trying to press the suction port portion against the surface to be cleaned.

また、連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、ブラシのこしの強さを回動軸が形成された側が強くなり、反対側が弱くなるように構成することによっても、吸込口部を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に回動軸が形成された側が沈み込み、反対側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   In addition, the rotation axis of the connecting portion is formed to be biased to one side of the suction port in which the brush is implanted in the opening edge, and the strength of the brush is strengthened on the side where the rotation axis is formed, and the opposite side is weakened. Even if comprised in this way, when it is going to hold down a suction inlet part to a to-be-cleaned surface, it can prevent that the side in which the rotating shaft was formed sink | sinks, and the other side floats.

また、連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、回動軸が形成された側の吸込口開口縁にはブラシを植毛せずにブラシの長さに相当する開口縁を形成することによっても、吸込口部を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に回動軸が形成された側が沈み込み、反対側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   In addition, the rotation shaft of the connecting portion is formed to be biased to one side of the suction port where the brush is planted on the opening edge, and the brush is not planted on the suction port opening edge on the side where the rotation shaft is formed. By forming an opening edge corresponding to the length of the brush, it is possible to prevent the side on which the rotation shaft is formed from sinking and the other side from floating when trying to press the suction port against the surface to be cleaned. Can do.

さらに、ブラシの長さに相当する開口縁の底面には、傷付き防止処理を施することにより、ブラシの長さに相当する開口縁の底面が被掃除面に接触することによって被掃除面が傷付くのを防ぐことができる。   Further, the bottom surface of the opening edge corresponding to the length of the brush is subjected to a scratch prevention process, so that the bottom surface of the opening edge corresponding to the length of the brush comes into contact with the surface to be cleaned. It can be prevented from being damaged.

また、ブラシの長さに相当する開口縁とブラシが植毛された開口縁とを傾斜面で連続させることにより、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の垂直面の掃除から上面の掃除への移行時に、垂直面と上面との角部にブラシの長さに相当する開口縁が引っかかるのを防ぐことができ、垂直面の掃除から上面の掃除への移行が滑らかになる。   In addition, by continuing the opening edge corresponding to the length of the brush and the opening edge where the brush is flocked on the inclined surface, at the time of transition from cleaning of the vertical surface of high places such as air conditioners and furniture to cleaning of the upper surface, It is possible to prevent the opening edge corresponding to the length of the brush from being caught at the corner between the vertical surface and the upper surface, and the transition from the cleaning of the vertical surface to the cleaning of the upper surface becomes smooth.

一方、連結部の回動軸が開口縁にブラシを植毛した吸込口の片側に偏らせて形成されると共に、吸込口部を回動軸の偏りによる掃除時の回動方向とは反対方向に付勢する付勢手段を備えることによっても、吸込口部を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に回動軸が形成された側が沈み込み、反対側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   On the other hand, the rotation axis of the connecting portion is formed by biasing to one side of the suction port in which the brush is planted at the opening edge, and the suction port portion is opposite to the rotation direction at the time of cleaning due to the bias of the rotation shaft. By providing the biasing means for biasing, it is possible to prevent the side on which the rotating shaft is formed from sinking and the other side from floating when trying to press the suction port portion against the surface to be cleaned.

また、吸込口部を接続管の延長方向に固定する係合部を備えることにより、この掃除機用アタッチメントを延長管等に形成されたホルダーに装着して延長管等に沿わせて収納する場合に衝撃等で吸込口部が回動してしまうのを防ぐことができる。   In addition, by providing an engagement part that fixes the suction port part in the extension direction of the connecting pipe, this vacuum cleaner attachment is attached to a holder formed on the extension pipe etc. and stored along the extension pipe etc. It is possible to prevent the suction port from rotating due to impact or the like.

以下、本願発明の実施形態を図面を参照して詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本願発明による掃除機用アタッチメントの一実施形態の構成を示す図で、(a)は側面図、(b)は側断面図、(c)は底面図、(d)は上面図、(e)は上面側から見た要部断面図である。   FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a vacuum cleaner attachment according to the present invention, in which (a) is a side view, (b) is a side sectional view, (c) is a bottom view, and (d) is a top view. (E) is principal part sectional drawing seen from the upper surface side.

本実施形態の掃除機用アタッチメント1は、開口縁にブラシ2が植毛された吸込口3aを有する細長の吸込口部3と、図示しない電気掃除機本体に連結されたホースや延長管に接続される接続管4と、この接続管4を吸込口部3に連通させると共に接続管4が図2に示すように吸込口3aの背面側に回る方向と図3に示すように吸込口3a側に回る方向に回動可能に連結する連結部5とを備えている。   The vacuum cleaner attachment 1 of the present embodiment is connected to an elongated suction port portion 3 having a suction port 3a in which a brush 2 is planted on an opening edge, and a hose or an extension pipe connected to a vacuum cleaner body (not shown). The connecting pipe 4 and the connecting pipe 4 communicate with the suction port 3 and the connecting pipe 4 turns to the back side of the suction port 3a as shown in FIG. 2 and the suction port 3a side as shown in FIG. And a connecting portion 5 that is rotatably connected in the direction of rotation.

上記接続管4は、電気掃除機本体に連結されたホースや延長管に接続される大径部4aと、吸込口部3が連結部5を介して連結された小径部4bとが一体に成形されている。   The connecting pipe 4 is integrally formed with a large diameter part 4a connected to a hose or extension pipe connected to the main body of the vacuum cleaner and a small diameter part 4b connected to the suction port part 3 via a connecting part 5. Has been.

吸込口部3の底面側に開口する吸込口3aは、上記接続管4の小径部4bが回動する側を開放した略コの字形状に形成されており、この略コの字形状の開口縁3bに多数のブラシ2が等間隔に植毛されている。   The suction port 3a that opens to the bottom surface side of the suction port portion 3 is formed in a substantially U-shape that opens the side on which the small-diameter portion 4b of the connection pipe 4 rotates, and this substantially U-shaped opening. A large number of brushes 2 are planted at equal intervals on the edge 3b.

連結部5は吸込口部3の後部側に位置して設けられ、図1(e)に示すように接続管4の小径部4bの先端部両側に突設された回動軸5aが吸込口部3側に形成された軸受5bに嵌合して回動可能に構成されている。   The connecting portion 5 is provided on the rear side of the suction port portion 3, and as shown in FIG. 1 (e), rotating shafts 5 a that protrude from both ends of the small diameter portion 4 b of the connecting pipe 4 are suction ports. The bearing 5b formed on the side of the portion 3 is fitted and can be rotated.

また、吸込口部3は、吸込口3aの開口縁3bにおける略コの字形状の開放端が上記連結部5の後方まで伸ばされ、図1(a)に示すように連結部5の回動軸5aを支点として接続管4側にも力点が形成されるように構成されている。   Further, the suction port portion 3 has a substantially U-shaped open end at the opening edge 3b of the suction port 3a extended to the rear of the connection portion 5, and the rotation of the connection portion 5 as shown in FIG. A force point is also formed on the connecting pipe 4 side with the shaft 5a as a fulcrum.

さらに、図2(b)に示すように、接続管4が吸込口3aの背面側に回動されたときは吸込口3aの後部側に空気導入口(漏らし孔とも言う)6aが形成され、図3(b)に示すように、接続管4が吸込口3a側に回動されたときは吸込口3aの背面側に位置する連結部5上面側に空気導入口6bが形成されるように構成されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), when the connecting pipe 4 is rotated to the back side of the suction port 3a, an air introduction port (also referred to as a leakage hole) 6a is formed on the rear side of the suction port 3a. As shown in FIG. 3B, when the connecting pipe 4 is rotated to the suction port 3a side, an air introduction port 6b is formed on the upper surface side of the connecting portion 5 located on the back side of the suction port 3a. It is configured.

以上の構成において、この掃除機用アタッチメント1を使用して、床面のコーナー部分や、エアコンや家具等の垂直面や上面を掃除する際には、当該アタッチメント1の接続管4の大径部4aを掃除機本体に連結されたホースや延長管に接続する。そして、掃除機本体に内蔵された電動送風機を運転させると、被掃除面の塵埃は吸込口部3の吸込口3aから吸い込まれ、被掃除面に付着した埃等も吸込口3aの開口縁3bに植毛されたブラシ2により拭き取られて吸込口3aから吸い込まれ、連結部5から接続管4を通り、延長管,ホース等を介して掃除機本体に吸引される。   In the above configuration, when the vacuum cleaner attachment 1 is used to clean a corner portion of a floor surface, a vertical surface or an upper surface of an air conditioner or furniture, the large diameter portion of the connection pipe 4 of the attachment 1 4a is connected to a hose or extension pipe connected to the cleaner body. Then, when the electric blower built in the cleaner body is operated, dust on the surface to be cleaned is sucked from the suction port 3a of the suction port portion 3, and dust attached to the surface to be cleaned also has an opening edge 3b of the suction port 3a. The brush 2 is wiped off by the brush 2 and sucked from the suction port 3a, and is sucked from the connecting portion 5 through the connecting pipe 4 to the main body of the cleaner through an extension pipe, a hose and the like.

本実施形態の掃除機用アタッチメント1は、接続管4が図2に示すように吸込口3aの背面側に回る方向と図3に示すように吸込口3a側に回る方向に回動可能に構成されているので、図2の状態での床面等の低い場所の掃除は勿論、図3の状態にも回動してエアコンや家具等の高い場所の上面掃除でも、延長管などからの接続管4の脱着などの手間無しに行うことが可能となる。   The vacuum cleaner attachment 1 of the present embodiment is configured to be rotatable in a direction in which the connecting pipe 4 rotates toward the back side of the suction port 3a as shown in FIG. 2 and a direction in which the connection tube 4 rotates toward the suction port 3a as shown in FIG. Therefore, not only cleaning of low places such as the floor surface in the state of FIG. 2, but also rotating from the state of FIG. It becomes possible to carry out without trouble such as detachment of the tube 4.

さらに、吸込口3aの開口縁3bにはブラシ2が植毛されて成るものであるから、床面等の低い場所は勿論、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の上面に付着した見え難く吸い込み難い埃なども効率良く拭き取って吸い込むことができる。   Further, since the brush 2 is planted on the opening edge 3b of the suction port 3a, not only low places such as the floor, but also dust that is difficult to see and suck on the upper surface of high places such as air conditioners and furniture, etc. Can also be wiped off efficiently.

また、接続管4が吸込口3a側に回る方向に回動可能に構成しただけでは、エアコンや家具等の高い位置の上面部分を掃除する際、吸込口部3の角度を手で調整しなければならない。これに対して、本実施形態の掃除機等アタッチメント1の吸込口部3は、連結部5の回動軸5aを支点として接続管4側にも力点が形成されて成るものであるから、図4(a)〜(d)に示すように、当該アタッチメント1を延長管7に接続して家具F等の高い場所の垂直面F1の掃除から上面F2の掃除への移行時に、家具F等の垂直面F1と上面F2との角部F3に吸込口部3の接続管4側の力点が接した際に支点と力点の関係から吸込口部3の吸込口3aが自動的に上面F2に沿う角度に回動するので、上面F2の掃除への移行が自動的に行える。   Moreover, when the connecting pipe 4 is configured to be rotatable in the direction of turning to the suction port 3a side, the angle of the suction port portion 3 must be adjusted by hand when cleaning the upper surface portion of a high position such as an air conditioner or furniture. I must. On the other hand, the suction port portion 3 of the attachment 1 such as a vacuum cleaner of the present embodiment is formed by forming a force point on the connecting tube 4 side with the rotating shaft 5a of the connecting portion 5 as a fulcrum. 4 (a) to (d), when the attachment 1 is connected to the extension pipe 7 and the transition from the cleaning of the vertical surface F1 at a high place such as the furniture F to the cleaning of the upper surface F2 is performed, When the force point on the connecting pipe 4 side of the suction port 3 comes into contact with the corner F3 between the vertical surface F1 and the upper surface F2, the suction port 3a of the suction port 3 automatically follows the upper surface F2 from the relationship between the fulcrum and the force point. Since it rotates to an angle, the transition to cleaning of the upper surface F2 can be performed automatically.

また、この種のアタッチメントを用いる場合は、吸込口が絞られていて掃除機本体に内蔵された電動送風機の負荷が増大するので、吸込口とは別に空気導入口(漏らし孔)を形成して電動送風機の負荷低減を図るようにしている。しかしながら、この空気導入口が固定されたものでは、上述したように広範囲に回動する吸込口部3の角度によっては使用者側に空気導入口が位置して、風切り音が気になる。   Also, when using this type of attachment, the suction port is throttled and the load on the electric blower built in the cleaner body increases, so an air inlet (leakage hole) is formed separately from the suction port. The load of the electric blower is reduced. However, when the air inlet is fixed, the air inlet is located on the user side depending on the angle of the suction port 3 that rotates in a wide range as described above, and the wind noise is annoying.

この対策として、本実施形態のアタッチメント1においては、図5(a)に示すように床面掃除等で接続管4が吸込口3aの背面側に回動されたときは吸込口3aの後部側に空気導入口6aが形成され、図5(b)に示すように高い場所の上面掃除で接続管4が吸込口3a側に回動されたときは吸込口3aの背面側にある連結部5上面側に空気導入口6bが形成されるように構成されているので、常に使用者とは逆側に空気導入口6a又は6bが位置するので、風切り音が気になるのを軽減することができる。また、接続管4が回動される側の空気導入口6a又は6bが塞がれても他方の空気導入口6b又は6aが機能するので、どのような状態でも掃除機本体の電動送風機に大きな負荷がかかるのを防ぐことができる。   As a countermeasure, in the attachment 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the connection pipe 4 is rotated to the back side of the suction port 3a by floor cleaning or the like, the rear side of the suction port 3a. When the connection pipe 4 is rotated to the suction port 3a side by cleaning the upper surface at a high place as shown in FIG. 5B, the connecting portion 5 on the back side of the suction port 3a is formed. Since the air inlet 6b is formed on the upper surface side, the air inlet 6a or 6b is always located on the side opposite to the user, so that the wind noise can be reduced. it can. Further, even if the air inlet 6a or 6b on the side where the connecting pipe 4 is rotated is closed, the other air inlet 6b or 6a functions, so that the electric blower of the cleaner body is large in any state. A load can be prevented.

図6は、本願発明による掃除機用アタッチメントの他の実施形態を示す側面図であり、前記実施形態と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。   FIG. 6 is a side view showing another embodiment of the attachment for a vacuum cleaner according to the present invention. The same reference numerals as those in the previous embodiment denote the same or corresponding parts.

前述したように、接続管4が、電気掃除機本体に連結されたホースや延長管に接続される大径部4aと、吸込口部3が連結部5を介して連結された小径部4bとから成る場合、前記実施形態のように大径部4aの中央部から小径部4bを突設させると、図7(a)に示すように、家具F等の高い場所の上面F2部分を掃除する際、角度によっては接続管4の大径部4aや延長管7が先に垂直面F1に接触し、上面F2部分の掃除が不十分になってしまう。   As described above, the connecting pipe 4 has a large diameter part 4a connected to a hose or extension pipe connected to the main body of the vacuum cleaner, and a small diameter part 4b connected to the suction port part 3 via the connecting part 5. When the small-diameter portion 4b protrudes from the central portion of the large-diameter portion 4a as in the above embodiment, the upper surface F2 portion of a high place such as furniture F is cleaned as shown in FIG. At this time, depending on the angle, the large-diameter portion 4a and the extension tube 7 of the connecting tube 4 first come into contact with the vertical surface F1, and the cleaning of the upper surface F2 portion becomes insufficient.

この対策として、本実施形態においては、図6に示すように、接続管4は、前記実施形態と同様に大径部4aと小径部4bとから成るが、大径部4aに小径部4bを吸込口部3の吸込口3a側に偏心させて形成したものである。ここでは、図6における小径部4bの底辺が大径部4aの底辺に一致するまで偏心させている。   As a countermeasure, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the connection pipe 4 is composed of a large diameter portion 4a and a small diameter portion 4b as in the above embodiment, but the large diameter portion 4a is provided with a small diameter portion 4b. The suction port 3 is formed eccentric to the suction port 3a side. Here, it is decentered until the bottom of the small diameter portion 4b in FIG. 6 coincides with the bottom of the large diameter portion 4a.

このように構成することにより、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の上面を掃除する際に、図7(b)に示すように、接続管4の大径部4aや延長管7が垂直面F1に当たりにくくなるので、図7(a)に示したように接続管4の大径部4aや延長管7が先に垂直面F1に当たって上面F2側の掃除が不十分となる問題を軽減できる。   With this configuration, when cleaning the upper surface of a high place such as an air conditioner or furniture, as shown in FIG. 7B, the large-diameter portion 4a and the extension pipe 7 of the connecting pipe 4 hit the vertical plane F1. Since it becomes difficult, as shown in FIG. 7A, it is possible to alleviate the problem that the large diameter portion 4a and the extension tube 7 of the connecting tube 4 first hit the vertical surface F1 and the cleaning on the upper surface F2 side becomes insufficient.

図8は、本願発明による掃除機用アタッチメントの更に他の実施形態を示す側面図であり、前述してきた実施形態と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。   FIG. 8 is a side view showing still another embodiment of the vacuum cleaner attachment according to the present invention, and the same reference numerals as those of the above-described embodiments indicate the same or corresponding parts.

本実施形態では、上記図7に示した実施形態の接続管4における小径部4bを略への字形状に形成したものである。   In the present embodiment, the small-diameter portion 4b in the connection pipe 4 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is formed in a substantially square shape.

このように構成することにより、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の上面を掃除する際に、図9に示すように、家具F等の垂直面F1と上面F2との角部F3に接続管4の小径部4bが当たるのを防ぐことができるので、吸込口部3を上面F2のより奥まで当てることができる。本実施形態では、前記実施形態と同様に小径部4bを大径部4aに偏心させて形成しているので、更に効果的である。また、図10に示すように吸込口部3をその吸込口3aが接続管4に当接するまで回動させて、コンパクトな折り畳み収納が可能となる。   With this configuration, when cleaning the upper surface of a high place such as an air conditioner or furniture, as shown in FIG. 9, the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the corner F3 between the vertical surface F1 and the upper surface F2 of the furniture F or the like. Since it can prevent that the small diameter part 4b hits, the suction inlet part 3 can be applied to the back of the upper surface F2. In this embodiment, since the small diameter part 4b is eccentrically formed in the large diameter part 4a similarly to the said embodiment, it is further effective. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the suction port portion 3 is rotated until the suction port 3a comes into contact with the connection pipe 4, so that compact folding storage is possible.

図11は、本願発明による掃除機用アタッチメントの更に他の実施形態の構成及び作用を示す側面図、図12は上面図であり、前述してきた実施形態と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。   FIG. 11 is a side view showing the configuration and operation of still another embodiment of the vacuum cleaner attachment according to the present invention, FIG. 12 is a top view, and the same reference numerals as those of the above-described embodiments indicate the same or corresponding parts. Yes.

前述してきたように吸込口3aを接続管4が回動する側を開放した略コの字形状に形成すると、接続管4が吸込口3a側に回る方向(吸込口3aが接続管4側に回る方向)への回動がフリーとなって掃除の際などの使い勝手が悪くなる。これを規制しようする場合、一般的には吸込口の流路側にストッパー部を構成することが考えられるが、このように構成するとゴミ詰まりや異音等の問題が生じる。   As described above, when the suction port 3a is formed in a substantially U-shape that opens the side on which the connection tube 4 rotates, the direction in which the connection tube 4 rotates toward the suction port 3a (the suction port 3a is closer to the connection tube 4 side). Rotation in the direction of rotation) becomes free, and the usability during cleaning becomes worse. In order to regulate this, it is generally considered that a stopper portion is formed on the flow path side of the suction port. However, such a configuration causes problems such as dust clogging and abnormal noise.

この対策として、本実施形態においては、略コの字形状の吸込口3aの開放部の上面側と接続管4側に接続管4の回動範囲を規制するストッパー部8を形成したものである。具体的には、吸込口3aの後部側に形成された開放部の上面側に半円形状の凹部8aを形成し、これに対応して接続管4の小径部4bの上面側に上記凹部8aに嵌合する円柱状の凸部8bを形成したものである。   As a countermeasure, in the present embodiment, a stopper portion 8 that restricts the rotation range of the connection tube 4 is formed on the upper surface side of the opening portion of the substantially U-shaped suction port 3a and the connection tube 4 side. . Specifically, a semicircular concave portion 8a is formed on the upper surface side of the open portion formed on the rear side of the suction port 3a, and the concave portion 8a is formed on the upper surface side of the small diameter portion 4b of the connection pipe 4 correspondingly. The cylindrical convex part 8b which fits in is formed.

このように構成することにより、流路側にストッパー部を設けることによる上記のような問題が生じることなく、図11(b)に示すように接続管4が吸込口3a側に回る方向(吸込口3aが接続管4側に回る方向)への回動がフリーとなるのを規制することができ、掃除の際などの使い勝手が向上する。   By configuring in this way, the above-described problem due to the provision of the stopper portion on the flow path side does not occur, and the direction in which the connecting pipe 4 rotates toward the suction port 3a (suction port) as shown in FIG. It is possible to restrict the rotation in the direction in which 3a rotates toward the connecting tube 4), thereby improving usability during cleaning.

図13は、本願発明による掃除機用アタッチメントの更に他の実施形態を示す側面図であり、前述してきた実施形態と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。   FIG. 13: is a side view which shows other embodiment of the attachment for cleaners by this invention, and the same code | symbol as embodiment mentioned above has shown the same or equivalent part.

前述してきたように、連結部5の回動軸5aが開口縁3bにブラシ2を植毛した吸込口3aの後側に偏らせて形成されたものでは、図14(a)に示すように、家具Fの上面F2部分などを掃除する際に吸込口部3を被掃除面(上面F2)に押さえ付けようとすると、回動軸5aが形成された後側が沈み込み、前側が浮いてしまって吸込性能が低下してしまう。   As described above, when the rotation shaft 5a of the connecting portion 5 is formed to be biased to the rear side of the suction port 3a in which the brush 2 is implanted in the opening edge 3b, as shown in FIG. When cleaning the upper surface F2 of the furniture F and the like, if the suction port 3 is pressed against the surface to be cleaned (upper surface F2), the rear side on which the rotating shaft 5a is formed sinks and the front side floats. Suction performance will be reduced.

この対策として、本実施形態においては、図13に示すように、ブラシ2の長さを回動軸5aが形成された後側から前側に向かって漸次長くなるような勾配を有する構成としたものである。   As a countermeasure, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the brush 2 has a structure in which the length of the brush 2 gradually increases from the rear side to the front side where the rotation shaft 5a is formed. It is.

このように構成することにより、図14(b)に示すように、吸込口部3を被掃除面(上面F2)に押さえ付けようとする時に前側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   By configuring in this way, as shown in FIG. 14B, it is possible to prevent the front side from floating when trying to press the suction port portion 3 against the surface to be cleaned (upper surface F2).

図15は、上述した回動軸の偏りによる課題を解決するための他の実施形態を示す側面図であり、前記実施形態と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。   FIG. 15 is a side view showing another embodiment for solving the problem due to the deviation of the rotating shaft described above, and the same reference numerals as those in the previous embodiment denote the same or corresponding parts.

本実施形態では、ブラシ2の密度を回動軸5aが形成された後側,具体的には回動軸5aの下側及びその後側が高くなり、回動軸5aよりも前側が低くなるように構成したものである。   In the present embodiment, the density of the brush 2 is increased on the rear side where the rotary shaft 5a is formed, specifically on the lower side and the rear side of the rotary shaft 5a, and lower on the front side than the rotary shaft 5a. It is composed.

以上のように構成することによっても、吸込口部3を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に回動軸5aが形成された後側が沈み込み、前側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   Also by configuring as described above, it is possible to prevent the rear side where the rotation shaft 5a is formed from sinking and the front side from floating when trying to press the suction port portion 3 against the surface to be cleaned.

また、上記図15において、ブラシ2のこしの強さが回動軸5aの下側及びその後側が強くなり、回動軸5aよりも前側が弱くなるように構成することによっても、前記と同様に吸込口部3を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に回動軸5aが形成された後側が沈み込み、前側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   Further, in FIG. 15, the suction force is also reduced in the same manner as described above by configuring the brush 2 so that the strength of the lower side and the rear side of the rotating shaft 5a is stronger and the front side is weaker than the rotating shaft 5a. It is possible to prevent the rear side where the rotary shaft 5a is formed from sinking and the front side from floating when trying to press the mouth 3 against the surface to be cleaned.

図16は、回動軸5aの偏りによる課題を解決するための更に他の実施形態を示す側面図であり、前記実施形態と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。   FIG. 16 is a side view showing still another embodiment for solving the problem due to the deviation of the rotating shaft 5a, and the same reference numerals as those in the previous embodiment denote the same or corresponding parts.

本実施形態では、回動軸5aが形成された後側の吸込口開口縁にはブラシ2を植毛せずに、開口縁3bの当該部分の樹脂部を厚く形成することによりブラシ2の長さに相当する開口縁3cを形成したものである。   In the present embodiment, the length of the brush 2 is obtained by forming the resin portion of the opening edge 3b thickly without planting the brush 2 on the suction opening opening edge on the rear side where the rotation shaft 5a is formed. An opening edge 3c corresponding to is formed.

さらに、ブラシ2の長さに相当する後側の開口縁3cの底面には傷付き防止処理を施している。具体的には、エチケットブラシや短い植毛あるいは塩ビインサート等による傷付き防止処理部3dを形成している。   Further, the bottom surface of the rear opening edge 3c corresponding to the length of the brush 2 is subjected to a scratch preventing process. Specifically, the scratch preventing treatment part 3d is formed by an etiquette brush, short flocking or a vinyl chloride insert.

また、ブラシ2の長さに相当する後側の開口縁3cとブラシ2が植毛された開口縁3bとは緩やかに湾曲した傾斜面3eで連続させている。   Further, the rear opening edge 3c corresponding to the length of the brush 2 and the opening edge 3b on which the brush 2 is planted are connected by an inclined surface 3e that is gently curved.

以上のように構成することによっても、吸込口部3を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に後側の開口縁3cが被掃除面に当接するので、回動軸5aが形成された後側が沈み込み、前側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   Even when configured as described above, the rear opening edge 3c abuts against the surface to be cleaned when the suction port 3 is pressed against the surface to be cleaned, so that the rear side on which the rotating shaft 5a is formed is It is possible to prevent sinking and floating of the front side.

さらに、ブラシ2の長さに相当する後側の開口縁3cの底面には傷付き防止処理部3dが形成されているので、後側の開口縁3cが被掃除面に接触することによって被掃除面が傷付くのを防ぐことができる。   Further, since the scratch preventing treatment portion 3d is formed on the bottom surface of the rear opening edge 3c corresponding to the length of the brush 2, the rear opening edge 3c comes into contact with the surface to be cleaned. The surface can be prevented from being damaged.

また、ブラシ2の長さに相当する後側の開口縁3cとブラシ2が植毛された開口縁3bとを傾斜面3eで連続させることにより、エアコンや家具等の高い場所の垂直面の掃除から上面の掃除への移行時に垂直面と上面との角部に、ブラシ2の長さに相当する後側の開口縁3cが引っかかるのを防ぐことができ、垂直面の掃除から上面の掃除への移行が滑らかになる。   In addition, the rear opening edge 3c corresponding to the length of the brush 2 and the opening edge 3b on which the brush 2 is flocked are made continuous by the inclined surface 3e, thereby cleaning the vertical surface of a high place such as an air conditioner or furniture. It is possible to prevent the rear opening edge 3c corresponding to the length of the brush 2 from being caught at the corner portion between the vertical surface and the upper surface during the transition to the upper surface cleaning, and from the vertical surface cleaning to the upper surface cleaning. Smooth transition.

図17は、回動軸5aの偏りによる課題を解決するための更に他の実施形態を示す側面図と上面側から見た要部断面図であり、前記実施形態と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。   FIG. 17 is a side view showing still another embodiment for solving the problem due to the deviation of the rotation shaft 5a and a cross-sectional view of the main part seen from the upper surface side. The same reference numerals as those in the above embodiment are the same or corresponding parts. Is shown.

本実施形態では、吸込口部3を回動軸5aの偏りによる掃除時の回動方向(前側が浮く方向)とは反対方向に付勢する付勢手段として、一端が接続管4の小径部4b側に固定されて回動軸5aに巻かれると共に他端が吸込口部3側に固定されたコイルバネ9を備え、このバネ9により吸込口部3の前側を押さえ付けるようにしたものである。また、前記図11,図12に示した実施形態と同様な凹部8aと凸部8bから成るストッパー部8が形成されている。   In the present embodiment, one end is a small-diameter portion of the connecting tube 4 as an urging means for urging the suction port portion 3 in a direction opposite to a rotation direction (direction in which the front side floats) at the time of cleaning due to the bias of the rotation shaft 5a. The coil spring 9 is fixed to the 4b side and wound around the rotating shaft 5a, and the other end is fixed to the suction port 3 side, and the front side of the suction port 3 is pressed by the spring 9. . Moreover, the stopper part 8 which consists of the recessed part 8a and the convex part 8b similar to embodiment shown in the said FIG. 11, FIG. 12 is formed.

このように構成することによっても、吸込口部3を被掃除面に押さえ付けようとする時に回動軸5aが形成された後側が沈み込み、前側が浮いてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   Also with this configuration, it is possible to prevent the rear side where the rotation shaft 5a is formed from sinking and the front side from floating when trying to press the suction port portion 3 against the surface to be cleaned.

なお、上記のように構成することにより、図18に示すような非掃除時の通常状態においても吸込口部3は前側が下向きに回動するが、本実施形態においてはストッパー部8が形成されているので、接続管4側までは回動せずに図18に示す位置で回動を規制することができ、使い勝手が向上する。   With the above-described configuration, the suction port 3 rotates downward in the normal state during non-cleaning as shown in FIG. 18, but the stopper 8 is formed in this embodiment. Therefore, the rotation can be restricted at the position shown in FIG. 18 without rotating to the connecting tube 4 side, and the usability is improved.

図19は、本願発明による掃除機用アタッチメントの更に他の実施形態を示す側断面図であり、前述してきた実施形態と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。   FIG. 19 is a side sectional view showing still another embodiment of the vacuum cleaner attachment according to the present invention. The same reference numerals as those of the above-described embodiments denote the same or corresponding parts.

本実施形態においては、吸込口部3を接続管4の延長方向に係脱可能に固定する係合部10を備えたものである。具体的には、連結部5における接続管小径部4b先端に外側に断面円弧状に突出する凸部10aを形成し、吸込口部3側には吸込口部3が図19に示すようにストレートに伸びた状態で上記断面円弧状の凸部10aが弾性的に係合する凹部10bを形成したものである。上記凸部10aと凹部10bが係合するとクリック感が得られると共に、その状態に固定される。   In this embodiment, the engaging part 10 which fixes the suction inlet part 3 to the extension direction of the connection pipe 4 so that engagement / disengagement is possible is provided. Specifically, a convex portion 10a that protrudes outward in a circular arc shape is formed at the distal end of the connecting pipe small diameter portion 4b in the connecting portion 5, and the suction port portion 3 is straight on the suction port portion 3 side as shown in FIG. In this state, a concave portion 10b is formed in which the convex portion 10a having an arc-shaped cross section is elastically engaged. When the convex portion 10a and the concave portion 10b are engaged, a click feeling is obtained and the state is fixed to that state.

以上のように構成することにより、この掃除機用アタッチメント1を図20に示すように延長管7等に形成されたホルダー7aに装着して延長管7等に沿わせて収納する場合に、図20(b)に示すように衝撃等で吸込口部3が回動してしまうのを防ぐことができ、図20(a)に示すように吸込口部3の吸込口3a側を延長管7等に沿わせた状態で収納することができる。   With the configuration as described above, when the vacuum cleaner attachment 1 is mounted on the holder 7a formed on the extension pipe 7 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 20 (b), it is possible to prevent the suction port 3 from rotating due to an impact or the like, and the suction port 3a side of the suction port 3 is connected to the extension pipe 7 as shown in FIG. 20 (a). It can be stored in a state along the line.

なお、上述してきた実施形態においては、吸込口3aの開口縁3bにブラシ2が植毛されたものに本願発明を適用した場合について説明したが、ブラシに係わらない発明に関してはブラシ2が植毛されていないものに適用しても同様な作用効果が得られる。   In the above-described embodiment, the case in which the present invention is applied to the brush 2 that is planted on the opening edge 3b of the suction port 3a has been described. However, the brush 2 is planted for an invention that is not related to the brush. Even if it is applied to the one not provided, the same effect can be obtained.
