Staubsaugerdüsen des beschriebenen Aufbaus sind aus der Praxis bekannt und beispielsweise im US-Design-Patent 333 539 dargestellt. Beim Saugen textiler Bodenbeläge sind die Dichtungselemente, die als Borstenstreifen oder elastomere Streifen ausgebildet sein können, in das Gehäuseinnere eingefahren und liegt die Gleitsohle auf dem Bodenbelag auf. Zum Saugen glatter Böden werden die Dichtungselemente mit einer Stellbewegung des Dichtungsträgers an der Unterseite der Düse ausgefahren und stützen das Gehäuseoberteil auf dem Boden ab. Im Rahmen der bekannten Maßnahmen ist der Dichtungsträger oft als Metallplatte ausgebildet, die im Gehäuseoberteil vertikal verstellbar angeordnet ist und mittels eines auf die Trägerplatte wirkenden Kipphebels gegen die Wirkung von Rückstellfedern absenkbar ist. Auch eine schwenkbewegliche Lagerung des Trägers um eine gehäusefeste Schwenkachse, die innerhalb des Gehäuseoberteils an einem rückwärtigen Abschnitt angeordnet ist, ist an sich bekannt (DE 197 38 046 A1). An den als Schwinge ausgebildeten Dichtungsträger ist ein Borstenstreifen angeschlossen, der bei einer Schwenkbewegung des Dichtungsträgers einen Spalt zwischen der Gleitsohle und dem Gehäuseoberteil durchfasst.Vacuum cleaner nozzles of the construction described are from the Known in practice and for example in the US design patent 333 539. When vacuuming textile floor coverings the sealing elements, the bristle strips or elastomeric strips can be formed in the Retracted interior and the sliding sole lies on the Flooring on. They are used to vacuum smooth floors Sealing elements with an adjusting movement of the Seal carrier extended on the underside of the nozzle and support the upper housing part on the floor. As part of the known measures is often the seal carrier as Metal plate formed vertically in the upper part of the housing is arranged adjustable and by means of a Support plate acting rocker arm against the action of Return springs can be lowered. Also a swiveling one Storage of the carrier around a pivot axis fixed to the housing on a rear inside the upper part of the housing Section is arranged is known per se (DE 197 38 046 A1). On the seal carrier designed as a rocker is connected to a bristle strip, which at a Pivotal movement of the seal carrier a gap between the sliding sole and the upper part of the housing.

Beim Betrieb der Staubsaugerdüse werden große Kräfte auf den Dichtungsträger ausgeübt, die vom Gehäuse aufgenommen werden müssen. Sowohl der Dichtungsträger als auch das aus Gleitsohle und Gehäuseoberteil gebildete Gehäuse müssen eine hohe Formstabilität besitzen. Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass Staubsaugerdüsen als Massenprodukte kostengünstig auf modernen Montageautomaten gefertigt werden müssen. Um die Fertigungskosten zu reduzieren, sollten sie aus möglichst wenig Teilen aufgebaut sein, die mit einem Minimum an Montageschritten montiert werden können. Large forces are exerted when the vacuum cleaner nozzle is operated exercised the seal carrier, which is absorbed by the housing Need to become. Both the seal carrier and that from The sliding sole and the upper part of the housing must be formed have high dimensional stability. It must be taken into account that vacuum cleaner nozzles are inexpensive as mass products be manufactured on modern assembly machines have to. To reduce manufacturing costs, they should be made up of as few parts as possible, that with one Minimum assembly steps can be installed.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Staubsaugerdüse mit den eingangs beschriebenen Funktionen anzugeben, die möglichst einfach aufgebaut ist, leicht montiert werden kann und bei geringem Materialeinsatz eine hohe Formstabilität besitzt.Against this background, the invention has the object Basically, a vacuum cleaner nozzle with the ones described above Specify functions that are as simple as possible, can be installed easily and with little material has a high dimensional stability.

Ausgehend von einer Staubsaugerdüse mit den eingangs beschriebenen Merkmalen wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst,
   dass die Gleitsohle an dem Gehäuseoberteil durch Steckverbindungen zwischen zapfenförmigen Vorsprüngen des Gehäuseoberteils und an die Gleitsohle angeformten Gegenelementen befestigt ist und
   dass der Dichtungsträger in einem in Arbeitsrichtung rückwärtigen Abschnitt des Gehäuseoberteils zwischen angeformten Lagerstegen des Gehäuseoberteils und der Gleitsohle drehbeweglich gehalten sowie an zumindest einem der durch die Steckverbindungen gebildeten Zapfen geführt ist.

Die Gegenelemente 25 sind als stummelförmige zylindrische Elemente mit Pilzkopf ausgebildet (Fig. 6).The sliding sole 2 is not on the upper housing part 1 Detachable plug connections 23 between pin-shaped projections 24 of the upper part of the housing and to the sliding sole molded counter elements 25 attached. The counter elements 25 are stub-shaped cylindrical elements with mushroom head trained (Fig. 6).

Der Dichtungsträger 4 ist an zwei dieser durch Steckverbindungen 23 gebildeten Zapfen geführt und weist angeformte Abstützflächen 26 für die Rückstellfedern 11 mit jeweils einer von dem zugeordneten Zapfen durchfassten Führungsausnehmung 27 auf. Aus Fig. 2 geht hervor, dass die Rückstellfedern 11 auf den von den Elementen 24, 25 gebildeten Zapfen zwischen der Gleitsohle 2 und den Abstützflächen 26 des Dichtungsträgers 4 angeordnet sind. Die durch Steckverbindungen 23 gebildeten Zapfen versteifen das aus der Gleitsohle 2 und dem Gehäuseoberteil 1 bestehende Gehäuse der Staubsaugerdüse und stabilisieren die Gleitsohle 2. Eine Mehrzahl der Gegenelemente 25 sind an einem flächigen Abschnitt der Gleitsohle 2, der sich in Arbeitsrichtung hinter dem Saugmund 3 anschließt, angeordnet. Zusätzlich sind an der Gleitsohle 2 Rastvorsprünge 28, 28' angeformt, die an dem Anschlussstück 13 des Gehäuseoberteils und an Wandflächen des Gehäuseoberteils 1 fixierbar sind (Fig. 1). Aus einer vergleichenden Betrachtung insbesondere der Fig. 1, 5 und 6 geht ferner hervor, dass die in die Saugkanal 12 mündende Öffnung 17 der Gleitsohle 2 von angeformten Vorsprüngen 29 umgeben ist, die in das Anschlussstück 13 des Saugkanals 12 eingreifen und den Übergang zwischen dem Saugmund 3 der Gleitsohle 2 und dem Saugkanal 12 des Gehäuseoberteils 1 gegen Fremdluft abdichten.The seal carrier 4 is on two of these by plug connections 23 formed pin guided and molded Support surfaces 26 for the return springs 11 each a guide recess surrounded by the associated pin 27 on. From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the return springs 11 on that formed by the elements 24, 25 Pin between the sliding sole 2 and the support surfaces 26 of the seal carrier 4 are arranged. The through plug connections 23 cones formed stiffen this from the Sliding sole 2 and the upper housing part 1 existing housing the vacuum cleaner nozzle and stabilize the sliding sole 2. A majority of the counter-elements 25 are on a flat surface Section of the sliding sole 2, which is in the working direction connects behind the suction mouth 3, arranged. additionally are formed on the sliding sole 2 locking projections 28, 28 ', the on the connector 13 of the upper housing part and Wall surfaces of the upper housing part 1 are fixable (Fig. 1). From a comparative view, in particular of FIG. 1, 5 and 6 also show that the suction channel 12 mouth opening 17 of the sliding sole 2 of molded Protrusions 29 is surrounded, which in the connector 13th of the suction channel 12 engage and the transition between the Suction mouth 3 of the sliding sole 2 and the suction channel 12 of the Seal upper housing part 1 against external air.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Dichtungsträger beiderseits des Saugkanals 12 jeweils zwei Querträger 22 auf, deren Abstand so bemessen ist, dass der Trittschalter 8 in den Freiraum zwischen benachbarten Querträgern 22 eintaucht. Zwischen den Querträgern 22 sind auch die mit dem Kipphebel 6 zusammenwirkenden Druckflächen 10 angeordnet.In the exemplary embodiment, the seal carrier has on both sides of the suction channel 12 each have two cross members 22, the distance between them is such that the foot switch 8 in immerses the space between adjacent cross members 22. Between the cross members 22 are also with the Rocker arm 6 cooperating pressure surfaces 10 arranged.

Die Gleitsohle 2 weist vor und hinter dem Saugmund 3 Vertiefungen auf, in die Fadenheberstreifen 30, z. B. aus Schrägborstenvelours eingeklebt sind. Ferner entnimmt man der Fig. 4, dass das Kippgelenk 15 eine durchgehende Wellenachse 31 aufweist, an deren Enden Laufräder 32 aufgesteckt sind.The sliding sole 2 has in front of and behind the suction mouth 3 Wells in the thread lifter strips 30, z.
