Description

unna; 516 387. 2 Dammbehållaren enligt uppﬁnningen innefattar en påse 10 av luﬁgenomsläppligt material vars öppning täcks av en bricka 11 av relativt styvt material ex vis papp. Brickan 1 1 består av tre sammanlimmade skikt där det första, yttre skiktet 12 utgör brickans utåtvända sida under det att det andra skiktet 13 utgör ett mellanskikt och det tredje skiktet 14 utgör ett inre skikt som anligger mot påsen. Brickan uppvisar en inloppsöppning 15 genom vilken den darnmbemängda luften införesi danimbehållaren varvid inloppsöppningen delvis täcks av ett ﬂexibelt membran 16 som är placerat mellan två av de sammanlimmade skikten. away; 516 387. 2 The dust container according to the invention comprises a bag 10 of permeable material whose opening is covered by a tray 11 of relatively rigid material eg cardboard. The tray 11 consists of three glued layers where the first, outer layer 12 constitutes the outwardly facing side of the tray while the second layer 13 forms an intermediate layer and the third layer 14 forms an inner layer which abuts against the bag. The washer has an inlet opening 15 through which the amount of air is introduced into the danim container, the inlet opening being partially covered by an accessible membrane 16 which is placed between two of the glued-together layers.

Det första skiktet 12 består av en i huvudsak rektangulär skiva med en väsentligen oval öppning 17 som omges av ett antal tungor 12a vilka avskiljs från den övriga delen av skiktet medelst en cirkulär big- eller rivlinie 12b. På ömse sidor om en symmetrilinje S och i anslutning till ett övre kantpartiet av skivan är denna försedd med i sidled, och i uppåtriktning sett, utstickande ﬂikar 18 som medelst biglinjer 19 är förbundna med skivan.The first layer 12 consists of a substantially rectangular disc with a substantially oval opening 17 which is surrounded by a number of tongues 12a which are separated from the rest of the layer by means of a circular groove or tear line 12b. On either side of a line of symmetry S and in connection with an upper edge portion of the disc, this is provided with laterally, and in upward direction, protruding ﬂs 18 which are connected to the disc by means of bead lines 19.

Vardera ﬂiken 18 uppvisar en urtagning 18a. Vid ett nedre kantparti av skivan och på ömse sidor om sagda symmetrilinje ﬁnns dessutom två urtagningar 20. Urtagningarnas 1 Sa, 20syﬁe kommer att framgå av det följande.Each 18 18 has a recess 18a. At a lower edge portion of the disc and on either side of said line of symmetry, there are also two recesses 20. The recesses 1 Sa, 20sy ﬁ e will appear from the following.

Det andra skiktet 13 består av ett skivformat centralt element 21 och två identiska men spegelvända kantelement 22 varvid kantelementen är placerade på ömse sidor om och i anslutning till det centrala elementet 21. Det centrala elementet 21, som i brickans färdiga tillstånd ej är fastlimmat vid de övriga skikten, uppvisar en cirkulär öppning 23 vars diameter i huvudak överensstämmer med den längsta “diametern” av öppningen 17 i det första skiktet.The second layer 13 consists of a disc-shaped central element 21 and two identical but mirror-inverted edge elements 22, the edge elements being placed on either side of and adjacent to the central element 21. The central element 21, which in the finished state of the tray is not glued to the the other layers, has a circular opening 23 whose diameter substantially corresponds to the longest "diameter" of the opening 17 in the first layer.

En övre del 24 av det centrala elementet 21, vilken tjänstgör som en greppdel, uppvisar en öppning 24a och har en sådan bredd att den huvudsakligen överbrygger avståndet mellan ﬂikama 18 i det första skiktet när skikten är placerade på varandra. Den övre delen 24 övergår via, i sidled utstickande och på ömse sidor om symmetrilinjen S placerade, öron 25 i ett huvudparti 26 som innefattar öppningen 23. Detta parti 26 har vid sin nedre del och på ömse sidor om symmetrilinj en i sidled utskjutande ﬂikar 27 som är avsedda att samverka med kantelementen 22. Dessutom uppvisar de nedre hörnpartierna urtagningar 28 varvid dessa urtagningar 28 är så placerade att de överlappar urtagningama 20 när skikten är placerade på varandra.An upper part 24 of the central element 21, which serves as a gripping part, has an opening 24a and has such a width that it substantially bridges the distance between the 18s 18 in the first layer when the layers are placed on top of each other. The upper part 24 merges via, laterally projecting and on either side of the line of symmetry S, ears 25 in a main portion 26 which comprises the opening 23. This portion 26 has at its lower part and on either side of the line of symmetry a laterally projecting ﬂ members 27 which are intended to co-operate with the edge elements 22. In addition, the lower corner portions have recesses 28, these recesses 28 being placed so as to overlap the recesses 20 when the layers are placed on top of each other.

Kantelementen 22, som är långsträckta, är avsedda att limmas till de övriga skikten och innefattar dels ett övre parti 29 vars sidokant tjänstgör som styrning för det centrala annan 516, 387 3 elementets huvudparti 26 och dels ett L-format nedre parti 30 som ansluter till urtagningen 28. Härigenom bildas anslagspartier 31 resp 32 för det centrala elementets ﬁikar 27.The edge elements 22, which are elongate, are intended to be glued to the other layers and comprise partly an upper portion 29 whose side edge serves as a guide for the main portion 26 of the central other 516, 387 3 element and partly an L-shaped lower portion 30 which connects to the recess 28. This forms abutment portions 31 and 32, respectively, for the förs 27 of the central element.

Det tredje skiktet 14 består av en i huvudsak rektangulär skiva med en cirkulär öppning 33 med i huvudsak samma form och storlek som öppningen 23 varvid skivan i närheten av det nedre kantpartiet uppvisar två på ömse sidor om symmetrilinj en S anordnade cirkulära hål 34. Dessa hål är så placerade att de i brickans färdiga tillstånd är placerade under urtagningarna 20 resp 28. Centralt mellan dessa hål 34 ﬁnns dessutom en från kantpartiet utgående urtagning 35. Öppningen 33 täcks delvis av det ﬂexibla membranet 16. Det tredje skiktet 14 är således med den sida som uppvisar membranet 16 fastlimmat vid det andra skiktets kantelement 22 som i sin tur är fastlimmade vid det första skiktet 12.The third layer 14 consists of a substantially rectangular disc with a circular opening 33 of substantially the same shape and size as the opening 23, the disc in the vicinity of the lower edge portion having two circular holes 34 arranged on either side of the line of symmetry. are so placed that in the finished state they are placed under the recesses 20 and 28, respectively. Centrally between these holes 34 there is also a recess 35 extending from the edge portion. The opening 33 is partly covered by the visible membrane 16. The third layer 14 is thus with the side which has the membrane 16 glued to the edge element 22 of the second layer which in turn is glued to the first layer 12.

Dammbehållaren fungerar på följande sätt, Vid insättning i dammsugaren införes brickan i gejdrar anordnade i det utrymmei dammsugaren där dammbehållaren är avsedd att beﬁnna sig under dammsugningen. Denna rörelse begränsas vid vissa dammsugarmodeller av att brickans nedre kant möter en anliggningsyta vid gejdrarnas nedre del eller vid andra dammsugarmodeller av att de utskjutande ﬂikarna kommer till anliggning mot gej dramas övre delar. Genom att ﬂikarna kan böjas anpassas också brickan till sådana dammsugare där locket till utrymmet normalt av en sådan bricka hindras från att tillsluta utrymmet. Dessutom medger urtagningarna 18a, 20, 28, 34 samt 35 att brickan kan införas i sådana dammsugare i vilket i utrymmet utskjutande delar normalt hindrar påsar utan sådana urtagningar från att användas.The vacuum container works in the following way. When inserting into the vacuum cleaner, the washer is inserted into guides arranged in the space with the vacuum cleaner where the vacuum container is intended to be located during vacuuming. This movement is limited in some vacuum cleaner models by the lower edge of the washer meeting an abutment surface at the lower part of the guides or in other vacuum cleaner models by the projecting ande ices coming into contact with the upper parts of the geysers. Because the ﬂs can be bent, the tray is also adapted to such vacuum cleaners where the lid to the space is normally prevented by such a tray from closing the space. In addition, the recesses 18a, 20, 28, 34 and 35 allow the washer to be inserted into such vacuum cleaners in which parts projecting in the space normally prevent bags without such recesses from being used.
