Abstract

The invention relates to a canister vacuum cleaner (1) having a housing (2), with a suction hose (5) connectable thereto, optionally with a handle (6), with a suction pipe (7) and with a suction attachment (12), wherein the suction pipe ( 7) comprises at least two separable pipe sections (8, 9), wherein the upper end (91) of an upper pipe section (9) with the suction hose (5) or the handle (6) and the lower end (82) of a lower pipe section ( 8) with the suction attachment (12) can be coupled and wherein the lower tube piece (8) and / or the suction attachment (12) by means of first holding means (14) in a parking position on the housing (2) is halterbar / are. In order to enable a simple, inexpensive and yet space-saving accommodation of the suction tube in the parking position, it is proposed that a further holding means (100) is arranged on the upper tube piece (9) or on the handle (6), which thus on the lower tube piece (8). can be fastened, that the two separate pipe sections (8, 9) with their longitudinal sides next to each other in the parking position on the housing (2) are halterbar.

Description

The The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a housing, with a connectable suction hose, if necessary with a handle, with a suction tube and with a suction attachment, wherein the suction pipe at least two separable pipe sections comprising, wherein the upper end of an upper tube piece with the suction hose or the handle and the lower end of a lower Pipe piece is coupled to the suction attachment, and wherein the lower tube piece or the suction attachment by means of the first Holding means in a parking position on the housing halterbar is.

For vacuum cleaner, it is for example from the DE 40 36 314 C2 known to provide cooperating on the housing and the suction tube or the bottom unit holding means with which the suction pipe is held after completion of the suction in a parked position on the housing. In this position, the top of the suction tube and the attached suction hose protrude far beyond the vacuum cleaner housing. As a result, when storing the vacuum cleaner, an increased space requirement, in particular a parking in cabinets or similarly cramped rooms is not possible.

In the DE 40 36 314 C2 the suction tube is integrally formed, but there are also known two- or multi-piece suction pipes, in which separable pipe sections are coupled together by means of a plug connection.

From the DE 100 39 186 A1 It is known to use as a suction tube a so-called telescopic tube, in which individual pipe parts are formed telescopically. This reduces the damming height in the parking position. Telescopic tubes have the disadvantage over suction pipes with plug connection that they are more expensive to manufacture and that the sealing of the individual pipe pieces is worse to each other, which leads to Saugleistungsverlusten.

Of the Invention, the problem arises in a canister vacuum cleaner the type mentioned a simple, inexpensive and nevertheless space-saving accommodation of the intake manifold in the parking position to enable.

According to the invention this problem by a vacuum cleaner with the characteristics of the Patent claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following Dependent claims.

The achievable with the invention advantages are achieved by a low installation height in the parking position.

One Embodiment of the invention is in the drawings shown purely schematically and is closer below described. It shows

1 a vacuum cleaner constructed according to the invention with pieces of pipe plugged together in the parking position;

2 a vacuum cleaner according to the invention with separate pipe sections in the parking position;

3a to d a tube holder in different views;

4a , b the pipe holder with the pipe sections and a handle in two views.

The 1 shows a conventional vacuum cleaner 1 with a housing 2 , The housing cover 3 is with a intake manifold 4 provided on which in a known manner a flexible suction hose 5 connected. The suction hose 5 is in turn to a curved, tubular handle 6 coupled, which with a suction tube 7 connected is. The suction tube 7 consists of two nested pieces of pipe 8th and 9 which, as in 2 is apparent, can be separated from each other. The handle 6 and the upper tube piece 9 are also formed separable from each other. To a release of the handle 6 from the upper piece of pipe 9 or the upper pipe section 9 from the lower pipe section 8th To prevent each unspecified locking means are provided, which via a first release button 10 at the upper end 91 of the upper pipe section 9 and a second unlock button at the top 81 of the lower pipe section 8th can be solved. At the bottom 82 of the lower pipe section 8th is a suction attachment in the form of a floor nozzle 12 connected. In both figures, the lower tube piece 8th and the suction attachment 12 by means not shown in detail first holding means 14 on the vacuum cleaner housing 2 kept in a parking position. This is the vacuum cleaner 1 brought into an upright position. Alternative or additional holding means may be a parking position on an operational, ie on the wheels 13 standing housing 2 enable.

To a storage of the vacuum cleaner in the in 2 shown position in which the height compared to in 1 shown position (with mated tube pieces 8th and 9 ) is much lower, is at the top 91 of the upper pipe section 9 another holding means 100 attached, which after separating the two pieces of pipe 8th and 9 at the upper end 81 of the lower pipe section 8th can be fastened, leaving the two pieces of pipe 8th and 9 save space next to each other in the parking position on the housing 2 are halterbar.

The further holding means 100 is in the 3a to d shown as a detail in different views. It is designed as a one-piece, preferably made of plastic component and includes a sleeve 101 and a retaining cap 102 which through two bridges 103 and 104 connected to each other. The cuff 101 is at the top 91 of the upper pipe section 9 attached, see also the 1 and the 4a and b. The attachment is made form-fitting with the aid of a first recess 105 that the first unlock button 10 surrounds. To the entire holding means 100 from the upper piece of pipe 9 to be able to remove the cuff 101 under pressure on the pipe section 9 be pushed down. As a result, the two inwardly directed retaining lugs 106 and 107 pressed outwards and give the unlock button 10 free. The retaining cap 102 has a closed lid 108 and a circumferential edge 109 , which is slipped over the upper end of the lower pipe section, see 1 and 4b , Another recess 110 includes a part of the second release button 11 and makes a positive connection that the upper tube piece 9 in a defined position.

The Invention is not in the above-described embodiment limited. Thus, the further holding means, for example be arranged on the handle. Alternatively, on the handle be omitted or this one-piece with the upper pipe section be educated. The suction pipe can consist of three or more pieces of pipe consist with or without handle.
