Abstract

A cleaning appliance of the cylinder type comprises a main body (100) and a hose (150) for carrying fluid flow between a wand (160) and the main body (100). Guide means (channel 300) are located on the main body (100) for guiding the hose (150) along a sinuous house storage path around the periphery of the main body (100). Locating means (collar 350) aid a user in correctly fitting the hose (150) to the channel (300). Retaining means (311, 312) retain the hose at at least two intermediate points between the ends of the hose. This allows the hose (150) to have a sufficiently large bending radius at each end (151, 168).

Description of the invention (7) First, the farthest end of the actuating member has a hook The pieces 2 31 can be engaged with the connector 280 at the end of the pipe piece 16 3. When all the fittings 61, 162, and 163 have been retracted into the storage tube 165, the connecting member 280 is located beside the end of the storing tube 165 and the hook member 231 can be hooked onto the connector 280. All the tubes 5 161, 162, 163 are held firmly in the storage tube 165 until the actuating member 235 is operated to release the hook 231. The leading edge of the hook member 231 has an inclined surface, which can be removed by the leading edge of the connector 280 because the tube member is retracted into the storage tube 165. This allows the hook member 23 to automatically straddle the lid 28 as the tube is moved to a stowed position and thereby hold it. The connector 280 has a cover which, in the stowed position (as best shown in Fig. 6), holds all the fixing means 400 of the tube and thus protects these fixing means from damage during storage. Another feature of the locking mechanism is that the protrusion 232 on the actuating member 235 can seat itself in a recess in the wall of the pipe member 161 to lock the position of the pipe member 16m. The operation of the I5 actuation member 235 lifts the protrusion 232 away from its seated position and thereby allows the tube 161 to move. The tube 161 has a series of similar recesses 233 along its length. The protrusion 232 is also used to fix the tube 161 in a desired extended position relative to the storage tube 165. The member of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Consumer Cooperative should understand the operation of the single button 230 and release the rod 160 from the vacuum cleaner 20 as the main body 100.

This helps to minimize any rotational movement (or wobble) of the rod 3 centered on its longitudinal axis. Although the hook-shaped protrusion 220 and the retaining ring 222 sufficiently secure the rod to the main body 10 〇, it is better to add some features to the rod 160 and the main body for additional security. The ribs 250 extend radially outward from each side of the collector 165. The ribs also extend outwardly from above the separating device 12010 at a position adjacent to where the collector 165 would lie when it is fixed to the main body. These ribs are used to minimize any rotation of the storage tube around its longitudinal axis γ-γ when the storage tube 165 is fixed to the main body. In short, it minimizes, shakes. A second rib 255 protrudes outward from the storage tube 165 and is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis γ-γ of the storage tube 165. This positioning is against the main body 100. Similar to the rib 125 and used to minimize the inward movement of the storage tube 165 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tube 165.

As shown in the cross section of Fig. 10, the hose is fixed The holding part 3 ι has two leading edges 3U, 312. The groove (or at least the hose holding part of the groove is trained—having sufficient flexibility to allow the leading edge 311,312 to pry into a material with a diameter σ of the tube 15G (such as Acrylic). This material also suffers from this type of buckling during the life of the machine. The entire groove, hose retaining portion 310, or even only the groove leading edges 311, 312 must be made of the elastic material, and the groove The other parts are made of a relatively rigid material. The shape of the hose holding portion 310 allows the hose to be buckled by the leading edge of the groove once it fits into the groove. The hose needs to be moved away from the groove 300 by a force sufficient to overcome the holding force of the leading edges 311, 312 of the leading portion 31G of the hose holding portion 31G. Therefore, the hose 15G can be operated in a one-handed manner.

The main reason for this is to allow the human to go around from the π 151 to the main body and the-recorded, relaxed state at the end of the hose 168 of the rod ⑽, too tight bending in these areas will cause damage to the hose . If the hose 15 is stored in a tightly bent manner, it may be permanently deformed and kinked. Having a soft member 150 longer than the circumference of the chassis 11 may cause the user to incorrectly fit the hose 15 to the main body. In particular, the user may over-tighten the hose 150 with the fish body at the end 151, which will cause an unacceptable tightening bend in this area, leaving at the other end 168 an overhang that may hang below the body ⑽ A large circle of hose. To indicate to the user where to properly fit the hose 150, the hose 150 is provided with a collar 350 that is 3 mm straighter than the groove. This ferrule is shown in Figures HA and 11B. The collar 350 serves as a guide for informing the user where to start fitting the hose 150 to the groove 3 沟槽. Since the correct position of the fitting hose 15 is visually indicated, it can be easily positioned (feeled) by the user. Since the collar 35 is wider than the groove 300, the portion of the hose containing the collar 350 cannot be fitted inside the groove. Therefore, the hose 15 cannot be assembled simply in the area of the inlet 151 or the rod connector 1⑽.
