- German Utility Model DE 20 2009 006 370 U1 discloses a vacuum cleaner with a groove-shaped seal for sealing a vacuum cleaner room.
- the groove-shaped seal is attached to a first housing part and has a groove base element and two groove wall elements arranged on the groove base element.
- a sealing lip is also arranged on the groove base element.
- Japanese Patent Application JP 06-133901 A also discloses a seal for a vacuum cleaner.
- the seal is arranged between a vacuum cleaner body and a lid and has a sealing lip, at the end of which a bead is formed.
- a bumper for a vacuum cleaner is known from Japanese Patent Application JP 08-196483 A, which also acts as a seal.
- the bumper is disposed between the contact surfaces of the vacuum cleaner base and a wall of the dust box dust container, the bumper sealing the lower part and the dust box.
- the invention has for its object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved sealing element.
- the improved sealing element should ensure a reliable sealing effect at all times during a vacuum cleaner operation. Next, the sealing effect should be ensured even in case of accidents. Finally, the stability of the seal should be increased.
- a vacuum cleaner room of a vacuum cleaner which is formed by the first and the second vacuum cleaner element and in which there is a negative or positive pressure during the vacuum cleaner operation, are sealed.
- the sealing element according to the invention is particularly suitable for sealing a vacuum cleaner room in which there is negative pressure during the vacuum cleaner operation.
- the sealing element of the vacuum cleaner room can be sealed so that the negative pressure is maintained in the vacuum cleaner room, and no leaks can occur.
- the sealing effect of the sealing element can be achieved through the sealing surface of the sealing lip.
- the sealing surface can be touched in an operating position of the second vacuum cleaner element. The operating position is the location occupied by the second vacuum cleaner element during a trouble-free vacuuming operation with respect to the sealing element.
- the second vacuum cleaner element With a sudden increase in the negative pressure, the second vacuum cleaner element deforms from its operating position in the direction of the inner bead, and can be supported on reaching the inner bead of this. In this way it can be prevented that the second vacuum cleaner element is deformed so that it falls inwards, ie in the direction of the negative pressure, and has no contact with the sealing surface of the sealing lip.
- the deformed second vacuum cleaner element can relax again, and spring over the operating position addition.
- This spring movement can be advantageously supported by the outer bead.
- the springback of the second vacuum cleaner element can advantageously be limited by the outer bead, so that the contact between the second vacuum cleaner element and the sealing surface of the sealing lip can be ensured.
- the sealing effect of the sealing lip is not lost, so the second vacuum cleaner element touched at any time during the vacuum cleaner operation, the sealing lip on the sealing surface between the inner and outer bead.

- a lid surface can be made possible.
- the flexural rigidity in the longitudinal extent of the sealing element can be increased.
- the longitudinal extent is to be understood as meaning the direction along which the sealing element seals the first and the second vacuum cleaner element.
- the volume of a vacuum cleaner room, for. B. the dust chamber volume of the dust chamber can be increased because the sealing element according to the invention can be made very narrow.
- a sealing element can be reached by the outer bead, which can be made particularly reliable due to its cross section. Because of the outer bead can be prevented that irregularities in the manufacturing process can lead to damage to the sealing surface. Thus, e.g. a manufactured by injection molding edge have a wavy contour.
- the sealing surface of such an irregularity is not affected, so that a regular shape of the sealing surface and thus a reliable sealing effect can be achieved.
- one of the sealing surface facing insertion be arranged on the inner and / or outer bead.
- An insertion bevel here is a surface of the inner or outer bead, which has a positive angle to the direction of movement of the second vacuum cleaner element, ie an angle at the inner or outer bead has no undercut in the direction of movement of the second vacuum cleaner element.
- the direction of movement of the second vacuum cleaner element is to be understood as the direction in which the second vacuum cleaner element has to be moved in order to close the vacuum cleaner space to be formed from the first and second vacuum cleaner elements so that the sealing surface of the sealing lip is contacted by the second vacuum cleaner element.
- the insertion of the inner and / or outer bead touches the sealing surface, and forms particularly preferably at the point where it touches the sealing surface with the sealing surface at an angle which exceeds 90 °. It can be achieved by means of the insertion bevel according to the invention that the second vacuum cleaner element can be securely guided in a rest position and / or in the operating position.
- the rest position is the position that occupies the second vacuum cleaner element with the vacuum cleaner off with respect to the sealing element. Even in the rest position, the second vacuum cleaner element touches the sealing surface, whereby a sealing effect of the sealing element can arise.
- the second vacuum cleaner element By the second vacuum cleaner element is guided into the rest position and / or operating position, tolerances can be advantageously compensated so that a precise juxtaposition of the first and second vacuum cleaner element can be made possible.
- An inventive design of the sealing element can in this case compensate for both particularly high and very low tolerances. So z. B. a fine balance between the first and second vacuum cleaner element can be achieved.
- the insertion bevel according to the invention is particularly effective for a tapered second vacuum cleaner element.
- the height of the inner and / or outer bead is at least half the width of the sealing surface.
- the height of the inner and outer beads means the length of the extension of the inner and outer beads in the direction of movement of the second vacuum cleaner element.
- the width of the sealing surface corresponds to the distance between the inner and outer bead.
- the inner and / or outer bead are made of a material deviating from that of the sealing lip.
- this achieves that the material of the inner and / or outer bead can be selected with regard to their support function, whereas the material of the sealing lip can be selected with regard to its sealing function.
- a sealing element which is made of different materials, z. B. in a multi-component injection molding process.
- the sealing lip is arranged C-shaped on the fixing unit.
- This C-shape can also be referred to as U or V shape.
- sealing lip which forms an angle with the fixing unit, or be arranged at her, that a round U- or C-shape is formed.
- the sealing lip on its two sides connections to the fixing unit.
- the sealing lip can thereby be made stiffer or deformable with respect to their lateral stability. Due to the lateral stability, the strength of the deformation of the sealing element due to a movement of the second vacuum cleaner element, for example during a pumping operation, can be determined.
- the sealing lip is designed as a tubular profile.
- a hose profile can be produced for example as a so-called extrusion profile, whereby particularly low production costs of the sealing element according to the invention can be achieved.

- the sealing element is made of elastically deformable material.
- the sealing element made of rubber, TPE, hard or soft PVC is made.
- a sealing element made of elastically deformable material has a sealing lip which is firmly connected to the fixing unit. As a result, a movable in the context of their elastic material properties sealing lip is reached. Further, a sealing element made of elastically deformable material may have the advantage that the sealing lip presses in the operating position on the second vacuum cleaner element, and thereby the sealing effect can be further improved.
- the sealing surface corresponds in an operating position with the underside of the second vacuum cleaner element.
- this can increase the sealing effect of the sealing element during the vacuum cleaner operation.
- the underside of the second vacuum cleaner element may e.g. lie flat against the sealing surface of the sealing lip in the operating position.
- the fixing unit is placed on the first vacuum cleaner element.
- the invention relates in the same way further alternative types of attachment of the fixing unit with the first vacuum cleaner element.

- an inner bead 32 and an outer bead 33 is further arranged.
- the arrangement of sealing element 10 and second vacuum cleaner element 42 can be compared with a tongue and groove connection. The effectiveness of this compound is explained below.
- a sudden increase in the negative pressure in the vacuum cleaner room 43, z. As a blockage of a Saugluft arrangement the vacuum cleaner 40 or when sucking on soft surfaces, the second vacuum cleaner element 42 is deformed and moved in the direction of the negative pressure. This movement of the second vacuum cleaner element 42 is limited by the inner bead 32 as shown in FIG. The inner bead 32 thus prevents the second vacuum cleaner element 42 from falling inwardly, that is to say in the direction of the vacuum cleaner space 43, in the event of a sudden increase in the negative pressure.
- this negative pressure abruptly reduced, z. B. by loosening the blockage or by removing the soft surface, relaxes the second vacuum cleaner element 42 and springs beyond the operating position in the direction of the outer bead 33.
- This springback of the second vacuum cleaner element 42 as shown in Fig. 7, at the outer bead 33 limited.
- the springback of the second vacuum cleaner element 42 is thus limited by the outer bead 33, so that the contact between the second vacuum cleaner element 42 and the sealing surface 31 of the sealing lip 30 is ensured at all times.
- the outer bead 33 also increases the bending stiffness of the sealing element 10 in the longitudinal extension of the sealing element 10, as a result of which a soft sealing material can be selected which allows low closing forces and nevertheless enables a reliable operating position and thus a reliable sealing effect.

- the inner 32 and outer bead 33 are made of a different material from that of the sealing lip 30, whereby the support function of the inner 32 and outer bead 33 is improved.
- the sealing element 10, in which the inner 32 and outer bead 33 have a different material, is produced in a multi-component injection molding process.
- the sealing lip 30 is arranged C-shaped on the fixing unit 20.
- the C-shape which is shown by a dashed line in FIG. 7, is formed here by a part of the fixing unit 20 and the sealing lip 30.
- This C-shaped arrangement of the sealing lip 30 on the fixing unit 20 may also be referred to as a U- or V-shaped arrangement.
- the sealing lip 30 is arranged C-shaped on the fixing unit 20, the movement of the sealing lip 30 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is not determined by the material property, but by the geometry of the arrangement of the sealing lip 30 on the fixing unit 20.
- the sealing lip 30 is designed as a tubular profile, so that the sealing lip 30 has connections to the fixing unit 20 on both sides. As a result, the lateral stability of the sealing lip 30 is slightly reduced, so that the sealing lip 30, the movement of the second vacuum cleaner element 42 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 can easily follow.
- the present invention makes it possible to provide a sealing element which can bring about improved sealing, by means of simple design and low-cost means.
- the sealing element at any time during the vacuum cleaner operation and in case of failure to ensure a reliable sealing effect, so that a vacuum cleaner room can be sealed leak-free.
