Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner Upright type with a torso, which is equipped with a handle, with a ground unit, which is movable by a chassis on the surface to be cleaned, and with an arranged in the ground unit motor fan to produce one to be cleaned Surface acting negative pressure, wherein the upper body and bottom unit are formed by a tilting joint about a horizontal axis in use horizontal pivot, and wherein the chassis comprises at least one arranged in the rear region of the ground unit wheel.
  • a vacuum cleaner according to the preamble of claim 1 is made, for example GB-A-2410178 known.
  • the following describes three types of vacuum cleaner that differ in their construction and operation. As common features all have a motor-driven blower, a dust collection room and one or more adapted to the particular purpose tillage equipment.
  • the vacuum cleaner has a housing which is movable on rollers and / or skids on the ground to be processed.
  • the engine fan and the dust collector are arranged in the housing.
  • the soil treatment device - here called floor nozzle - is connected via a suction hose, possibly with an intermediate suction pipe, with the dust collection chamber.
  • the housing is brought into the desired position during the suction process by pulling on the suction tube.
  • the motor fan and the dust collector are also arranged in a housing. From the housing extends on one side of a suction pipe, which connects a floor nozzle with the dust collector, and on the other hand, a handle with which the housing is maneuvered into the desired position.
  • An essential feature of an upright is a movable floor unit, which carries a torso with a large dust collector.
  • the two parts are pivotally mounted to each other and usually fixable in a parking position in which the upper body is approximately vertical when the ground unit is in the use position on a horizontal floor. In this position, the upright is automatic.
  • this locking is released and tilted the upper body by a certain angle in a working position.
  • the swivel angle depends on the one hand on the size of the user and on the other hand from the respective use.
  • a handle on the upper body is used to guide the entire device.
  • the engine fan may be located at various locations.
  • the air duct has an interface and fluid behind the interface designed as a hose or hose-tube combination component.
  • a piece of pipe is held in a plug-in receptacle in most cases.
  • different suction attachments can be placed on the suction end and the resulting arrangement can be used as in a conventional vacuum cleaner. This is usually done when the upright is parked in the park position. There is a desire that the Upright remains in this position and does not tip over even with a slight pull on the hose.
  • the invention thus provides the problem in a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned on the one hand to ensure good maneuverability while driving and on the other hand, a high stability in the parking position.
  • the wheel is fixed by means of a pivotal mount on the ground unit, wherein the pivot axis of the holder is remote from the axis of rotation of the wheel, and that means are provided on the tilting joint and in the region of the support upon pivoting of the upper body with respect to the ground unit cooperate such that a pivoting of the holder is caused with the wheel.
  • the means on the tilting joint and in the region of the holder act such that a pivoting of the upper body in an upright position causes a pivoting movement of the wheel to the rear, so that the distance between the wheel and the front portion of the bottom unit is increased ,
  • Stability, maneuverability and stability are improved by pivoting the wheels so far backwards that the projection of the center of gravity of the vacuum cleaner lies on the surface to be cleaned within the standing surface of the ground unit, and / or by providing two rear wheels which are provided by a Axle are connected to each other, and / or that at least one roller is arranged in the front region of the bottom unit. Even more stability is achieved when supporting means are arranged in front of the rollers and when the holder and its pivoting path are dimensioned such that the wheel pivots downwards in the upright position of the upper body until it reaches the floor unit's footprint by the roller (s). n) shifted to the support means.
  • the ease of use is increased by the fact that the movement, which performs the upper body when erecting in the parking position, is used to pivot the wheels in the rear position.
  • the tilting joint is formed by a gabelfömiges component, wherein the fork ends form the pivot axis (X) of the tilting joint and the fork web is held on the upper body
  • arranged on the tilting joint means for causing the pivoting Holder include at least one arranged on a fork end toothed segment.
  • the means in the region of the holder can then comprise an axle carrier and an adjusting wheel acting on the holder. The wheel can be locked both in the upright position of the upper body and in an end position in the pivoted position of the upper body.
  • the means for pivoting the holder in the end position include a freewheel.
  • the pivoting of the bracket on the transfer of the upright from the parking position in the Working position limited.
  • a further pivoting of the wheels at low deflections of the upper body then does not take place, so that the ride comfort is not affected.
