Description

TITLE

Holder for a telescopic tube

TECHNICAL AREA

The application relates to a device for storing and holding a vacuum cleaner tube of a vacuum cleaner system, wherein the device has a receiving element with a receiving area, wherein the receiving element is disposed on one side of the device, and the receiving area of the receptacle and storage of the vacuum cleaner tube is used.

STATE OF THE ART

There are numerous technical possibilities known to keep the vacuum cleaner tube of a vacuum cleaner, especially outside the periods of use and store. For example, a vacuum cleaner tube may be equipped with a hook that fits with a corresponding one

Vacuum cleaner housing arranged complementary component can be brought into engagement.

In most cases, however, the known possibilities and methods are difficult to handle and impractical, with the result that the vacuum cleaner tube is not held securely, the attachment must be handled precisely, or the holding device is not used by the user even for reasons of complex and difficult use ,

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device which has a simple in the operation and handling device for safe storage and holding a

Vacuum cleaner tube has.

TECHNICAL SOLUTION

The object is achieved by a device according to claim 1. For depositing and holding a vacuum cleaner tube of a vacuum cleaner system, the device has a receiving element with a receiving region, wherein the receiving region is arranged on one side of the device and the receiving region serves to receive and deposit the vacuum cleaner tube

characterized in that the receiving element has an element for fixing the vacuum cleaner tube in a parking position.

The device may have a variety of shapes and made of a variety of materials, e.g. Plastic, metal, etc., exist.

The support element takes in the receiving area on the one hand to the vacuum cleaner tube and is also able to record the recorded pipe in a parking position, for example, in times of non-operation or to keep in operation breaks. The receiving area is preferably located on or over a, for example, shell-like shaped wall of the receiving element. The wall can form an externally accessible support surface.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the element of the fixation is at least one magnet. As a rule, vacuum cleaner pipes are made of metal or of a material that is influenced by magnetic forces of attraction. The fixing element in the form of a magnet is capable of attracting and fixing the vacuum cleaner tube inserted in the receiving area. The position of the magnet can determine in this way the specific area of the receiving element in which the vacuum cleaner tube is to be fixed. By using a magnet, holding means, such as e.g. a clamping or clip device is not required, which greatly simplifies handling, since the operator must bring the vacuum cleaner tube only in the receiving area or insert and the magnet then attracts the vacuum cleaner tube and holds. The magnet may be located behind the wall of the receiving element on the side opposite the receiving area (for example, it may be inaccessible from the outside).

In addition, the self-adjustment of the vacuum cleaner tube in the parking position is generated by the element of the fixation. Due to the arrangement of the magnet or in the receiving element, the parking position of the vacuum cleaner tube is determined as a result of the constant magnetic attraction forces. An attached or attached pipe is thus always spent in the same parking position.

Preferably, at least one magnet is arranged centrally in the receiving element. As a result, the central attraction of the vacuum cleaner tube is effected in the desired parking position and as a result, a central support of the vacuum cleaner tube aims.

In a further embodiment, at least two further magnets are aligned with the centrally arranged magnet in the receiving element. As a result, on the one hand the effect of the central magnet can be supported, on the other hand can be effected by a specific arrangement of the additional magnets steering and self-adjustment to the central magnet. This has the advantage that the receiving area can be made wider and the tube is in any case spent and held to the central magnet. In addition, this ensures that the operator does not have to bring the tube to be deposited precisely in the central position of the receiving area.

Preferably, the receiving area is adapted to the shape of the vacuum cleaner tube. The shape of the receiving area will usually be in accordance with the tube shape (in cross section) cylindrical round surface portion, but other shapes are conceivable. By adjusting the introduction into the receiving area is facilitated on the one hand. On the other hand, the holder is supported and stabilized by the shape adapted to the tube.

Particularly preferably, the receiving area is concavely curved and has the shape of a

Partial cylinder with a circular section with the radius R on. The cylindrical shape ensures optimum adaptation and stabilization of the recorded vacuum cleaner tube.

The radius R of the circular portion of the receiving area is in particular greater than the radius of the vacuum cleaner tube. Thus, the inclusion of the tube is facilitated because the tube must be introduced only loosely in the receiving area. Advantageously, the radius R is twice as large as the radius of the vacuum cleaner tube or more than twice as large.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the device is designed as a handle. This can be fixed on the top or on the side of the vacuum cleaner. In an advantageous embodiment, the handle is rubberized.

As a result, a comfortable and safe handling is achieved, as a result of the

Adjustment possibility of the rubberized handle of the comfort is facilitated and on the other hand the handle is made non-slip and thus safer.

The object is also achieved by a vacuum cleaner, comprising a device as described above, wherein the device is arranged on a housing of the vacuum cleaner.

Advantageously, the device is mounted on the top of the vacuum cleaner, on the one hand to facilitate the deposition of the vacuum cleaner tube and on the other hand, the transport of the vacuum cleaner. Conceivable here are a variety of types of fastening, such as screwing, bonding, etc., permanently or temporarily. However, the device may also be attached to the side of the vacuum cleaner, e.g. when the vacuum cleaner has to be opened upwards.
