Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur verschwenkbaren und drehbeweglichen Anordnung eines Saugvorsatzes für ein Bodenpflegegerät, insbesondere Staubsauger, über einen Anschluß des Saugvorsatzes mit dem Sauganschluß und Handhabe des Bodenpflegegerätes.The invention relates to a device for pivotable and rotatable arrangement of a suction attachment for a floor care device, in particular vacuum cleaner, via a connection of the suction attachment to the suction connection and handle of the floor care device.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß es relativ aufwendig ist, eine verschwenkbare und drehbewegliche Zuordnung eines Saugvorsatzes auszubilden. Hierbei besteht das besondere Problem darin, daß der Gelenkbereich montagefreundlich zu gestalten ist, um eine erforderliche robuste Ausbildung unter Berücksichtigung des Einsatzes für Bodenpflegegeräte und den entsprechenden Einsatzzwecken zu ermöglichen.It has been shown that it is relatively complicated to form a pivotable and rotatable association of a suction attachment. Here, the particular problem is that the joint area is designed to be easy to install, to allow a required robust training, taking into account the use of floor care equipment and the corresponding applications.

Es sind eine Vielzahl von Gelenkverbindungen bekannt geworden, die aber im wesentlichen keine einfache Montage und Demontage ermöglichen bzw. es Schwierigkeiten gibt, die aus Kunststoff ausgebildeten Elemente zur Kraftübertragung heranzuziehen.There are a variety of joints known, but essentially no simple Allow assembly and disassembly or there are difficulties to use the plastic-formed elements for power transmission.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Anordnung zur Verbindung mit einem Saugvorsatz durch einfachere Mittel zu schaffen, die eine Halterung und Führung gewährleisten und eine Montage sowie Demontage von relativ dicht zugeordneten Elementen gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to provide a generic arrangement for connection to a suction attachment by simpler means, which ensure a holder and guide and ensures assembly and disassembly of relatively tightly associated elements.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß ein Schwenkelement am Saugvorsatz schwenkbar angeordnet ist und mit einem korrespondierenden Drehelement, das einen Anschluß zum Bodenpflegegerät bildet, zur drehbeweglichen Verbindung gekoppelt ist sowie Schwenkelement und Drehelement ineinander greifen und im Verbindungsbereich von Schwenkelement und Drehelement jeweils umlaufende, einander zugeordnete Nuten zur Aufnahme von Teilstücken und Ausbildung eines Führungs- und Halteringes aufweisen, wobei die Teilstücke über mindestens eine durch ein oder mehrere Verschlußelemente abgedeckbare und/oder absperrbare Öffnung im außen liegenden Element in die Nuten einsetzbar sind.The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention, characterized in that a pivoting element is pivotally mounted on the suction attachment and coupled to a rotatable connection with a corresponding rotary element which forms a connection to the ground care device and pivot element and rotary element interlock and engage in the connecting region of the pivot element and rotary element respectively circumferential, mutually associated grooves for receiving portions and forming a guiding and retaining ring, wherein the sections are insertable via at least one coverable by one or more closure elements and / or lockable opening in the outer element in the grooves.

Hierdurch ist es möglich, ein Drehelement und ein Schwenkelement relativ mit kleinem Spiel zu verbinden und die Teilstücke in die Nuten zur Bildung eines Führungs- und Halteringes einzusetzen.This makes it possible to connect a rotary member and a pivot member relative to a small game and insert the sections into the grooves to form a guiding and retaining ring.

Eine günstige Ausbildung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß das Drehelement im Verbindungsbereich zum Schwenkelement hülsenförmig über das Schwenkelement greift. Alternativ ist vorgesehen, daß das Schwenkelement im Verbindungsbereich zum Drehelement hülsenförmig über das Drehelement greift.A favorable education is created by the fact that the rotary member engages in the connecting area to the pivot member sleeve-shaped over the pivot member. Alternatively, it is provided that the pivot member engages sleeve-shaped over the rotary member in the connection region to the rotary member.

Um eine Fixierung der eingesetzten Teilstücke zu ermöglichen, wird vorgeschlagen, daß eine der Nuten mindestens eine begrenzte taschenförmige Aufnahme zur Fixierung eines oder mehrere Teilstücke aufweist.In order to enable a fixation of the inserted sections, it is proposed that one of the grooves has at least one limited pocket-shaped receptacle for fixing one or more sections.

Um eine Ruheposition sicher einzustellen, wird vorgeschlagen, daß in einer vorbestimmten Mittelstellung des Drehelementes und senkrechter Ausrichtung des Schwenkelementes als Ruhestellung, eine im Schwenkelement gelagerte federbelastete Raste in ein im Drehelement ausgebildetes Gegenlager eingreift.In order to set a rest position safely, it is proposed that engages in a predetermined center position of the rotary member and vertical orientation of the pivot member as a rest position, a spring-loaded detent mounted in the pivot member in a counter-bearing formed in the rotary member.

Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, daß das Schwenkelement über ein zugeordnetes Verriegelungselement gegen eine Abkippbewegung blockierbar ist. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, daß das Verriegelungselement durch eine fußbetätigte Wippe am Saugvorsatz gebildet ist.It is also proposed that the pivoting element can be blocked via an associated locking element against a tilting movement. For this purpose, it is provided that the locking element is formed by a foot-actuated rocker on the suction attachment.

Eine funktionssichere Anordnung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß ein Verschlußelement durch eine verriegelbare Abdeckung am hülsenförmigen Element gebildet ist.A functionally reliable arrangement is provided in that a closure element is formed by a lockable cover on the sleeve-shaped element.

Um die Öffnung zur Einführung der Teilstücke relativ klein zu halten, wird vorgeschlagen, daß mindestens vier Teilstücke zur Bildung eines Führungs- und Halteringes in die Nuten von Schwenk- und Drehelement einsetzbar sind.In order to keep the opening for the introduction of the sections relatively small, it is proposed that at least four sections to form a guiding and retaining ring can be inserted into the grooves of the pivoting and rotating element.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß in und zwischen dem Schwenkelement und Drehelement ein taschenförmiger Zwischenraum zur beweglichen Aufnahme elektrischer Leiter ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, it is provided that in and between the pivoting element and rotating element a pocket-shaped intermediate space for the movable recording of electrical conductors is formed.

Eine günstige Ausbildung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß das Drehelement Bestandteil des Bodenpflegegerätes ist, das in der Verbindungsstelle zum Schwenkelement an den Saugvorsatz koppelbar ist.A favorable education is created by the fact that the rotary element is part of the floor care device, which can be coupled to the suction attachment in the connection point to the pivoting element.

Ferner ist vorgesehen, daß der Verbindungsbereich zwischen Schwenkelement und Drehelement zur Aufnahme der Nuten wulstartig ausgebildet ist.It is further provided that the connection region between the pivot element and the rotary member for receiving the grooves is formed like a bead.
