Definitions
- the invention relates to a wireless remote control device for a vacuum cleaner, which has a control device attached to the handle of the suction hose connected to the vacuum cleaner or to the suction pipe coupled to the suction pipe, the control signals of which are arranged in or on the vacuum cleaner housing on the control circuit of the receiver Act the blower motor of the vacuum cleaner.
- Such a remote control device is known from DE-U-78 13 344.
- an ultrasonic transmitter is permanently installed in the handle connected to the suction hose of the vacuum cleaner. This leads to a high manufacturing outlay, since such hoses have to be manufactured separately from the normal suction hoses not provided with an ultrasound transmitter. In addition, if there is a defect in the suction hose, the suction hose including the ultrasound transmitter must be replaced.
- the invention has for its object to develop a wireless remote control device of the type described above so that the aforementioned disadvantages are avoided.
- the transmitter is detachably arranged on the handle or on the suction pipe. This enables separate production of the suction hose and transmitter.
- the transmitter can be attached as a separate part if the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a receiver. If the suction hose is defective, only the suction hose needs to be replaced, however, the transmitter can continue to be used.
- a simple attachment of the transmitter on the handle or on the suction tube results from the fact that two holding arms are provided on the housing of the transmitter, tangentially via the outer contour of the handle or the suction tube.
- a stable hold of the transmitter is achieved in that the holding arms extend in the tangential direction beyond the center axis of the handle or the suction pipe and that the distance between the free ends of the holding arms is smaller than the outer diameter of the handle or the suction pipe on the plug-on - le of the transmitter is dimensioned.
- the handle or the suction tube have an outer contour deviating from the circular shape at least at the attachment point of the transmitter, the transmitter is secured against twisting.
- the transmitter is secured by a snap connection against axial slipping on the handle.
- a snap connection can be implemented in a structurally simple manner in that a latching edge is provided on the housing of the transmitter, which can be latched with a notch formed on the outer circumference of the handle or the suction pipe.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a transmitter arranged on the handle of a suction hose
- FIG 3 shows a detail section of a handle in the area of the snap connection with the transmitter.
- the housing of the transmitter 1 has two holding arms 5 with which it can be plugged in the tangential direction over the outer contour of a handle 7 connected to a suction hose 6.
- the free length 8 of the holding arms 5 is chosen so that the holding arms 5 extend over the central axis 9 of the handle 7 in the attached state.
- the distance between the free ends 10 of the mutually opposite holding arms 5 is at least somewhat smaller than the outer diameter of the handle 5 at the attachment point of the transmitting device 1.
- the holding arms 5 can be easily pushed onto the handle 7 despite the smaller distance between their free ends 10 compared to the outer diameter of the handle 7.
- the holding arms 7 are somewhat tensioned and thus ensure that the transmitting device 1 is firmly seated on the outer circumference of the handle 7.
- the handle 7 also has a slightly elliptical outer contour that deviates from the circular shape. As a result, the attached transmitter 1 is secured against rotation.
- a longitudinal web 11 pointing radially outwards is formed on a corresponding point on the handle 7, on which a notch 12 is formed.
- a notched edge 14 provided on the front wall 13 of the transmitting device 1 engages in this notch 12. The transmitter 1 is thus also fixed in the longitudinal direction of the handle 7.
