Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a canister vacuum cleaner including a housing, a suction hose connectable thereto, an optional handle, a suction wand, and a vacuum attachment; the suction wand including at least two sections that can be separated from one another; the upper end of an upper wand section being able to be coupled to the suction hose or the handle, and the lower end of a lower wand section being able to be coupled to the vacuum attachment; and the lower wand section or the vacuum attachment being able to be held to the housing in a parked position by first holding means.
  • suction wand is a single piece.
  • suction wands which are formed of two or more separable sections coupled together by a push-fit connection.
  • the present invention provides a canister vacuum cleaner including a housing; a suction hose connectable to the housing; a vacuum attachment; and a suction wand including at least an upper wand section and a lower wand section that can be separated from one another.
  • An upper end of the upper wand section is couplable with the suction hose and a lower end of a lower wand section is couplable with the vacuum attachment.
  • At least one of the lower wand section and the vacuum attachment are configured to be held to the housing in a parked position by a first connector.
  • a second connector is disposed on the upper wand section and attachable to the lower wand section in such a way that the upper and lower wand sections, when separated, can be held to the housing in the parked position in a side-by-side relationship along respective lengths thereof.
  • the second connector includes a sleeve surrounding the upper end of the upper wand section.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vacuum cleaner configured in accordance with the present invention in the parked position and with the wand sections coupled together;
  • FIG. 2 shows a vacuum cleaner configured in accordance with the present invention in the parked position and with the wand sections separated;
  • FIGS. 3 a through d illustrate a wand holder in various views
  • FIGS. 4 a, b show the wand holder along with the wand sections and a handle in two views.
  • the invention provides a vacuum cleaner in which the suction wand can be stored in a parked position in a simple and space-saving manner using inexpensive means.
  • FIG. 1 shows a canister vacuum cleaner 1 having a housing 2 .
  • Housing cover 3 is provided with an inlet connector 4 , to which a flexible suction hose 5 is connected in a known manner.
  • Suction hose 5 is in turn coupled to a curved tubular handle 6 , which is connected to a suction wand 7 .
  • Suction wand 7 includes two sections 8 and 9 which are coupled together and which can be separated from one another, as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • Handle 6 and upper wand section 9 are also separable from each other.
  • first release button 10 at upper end 91 of upper wand section 9
  • second release button 11 at upper end 81 of lower wand section 8
  • first connector 14 not shown in greater detail
  • canister vacuum cleaner 1 is placed in an upright, standing position.
  • Alternative or additional holding means may allow for a parked position on a housing 2 that is in an operational state; i.e., standing on wheels 13 .
  • upper end 91 of upper wand section 9 has mounted thereto a further connector 100 which, after separating the two wand sections 8 and 9 , can be attached to upper end 81 of lower wand section 8 , so that the two wand sections 8 and 9 can be held to housing 2 in the parked position in side-by-side relationship in a space-saving manner.
  • the further holding means is a single component which is preferably made from plastic and includes a sleeve 101 and a holding cap 102 , which are connected by two webs 103 and 104 .
  • Sleeve 101 is attached to upper end 91 of upper wand section 9 (see also FIG. 1 and FIGS. 4 a and b in this regard). The attachment is accomplished by a first cutout 105 surrounding first release button 10 in a form-locking manner.
  • sleeve 101 In order to remove the entire connector 100 from upper wand section 9 , sleeve 101 must be forced downward along wand section 9 .
  • Holding cap 102 has a closed top 108 and a peripheral rim 109 to be slipped over the upper end of the lower wand section (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 b ).
  • a further cutout 110 surrounds at least a portion of second release button 11 , providing a form fit which retains upper wand section 9 in a defined position.
  • the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment described hereinabove.
  • the further connector may be disposed on the handle.
  • the handle may be omitted or integrally formed in one piece with the upper wand section.
  • the suction wand may be formed of three or more sections, with or without a handle.
