Description

本発明は、電気掃除機などの吸引装置に接続されて使用する吸込具及びそれを用いた電気掃除機に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a suction tool used by being connected to a suction device such as a vacuum cleaner and a vacuum cleaner using the suction tool.

従来のこの種の吸込具は、電気掃除機の集塵室と連通したホースとホースの先端に設けた先端パイプとこの先端パイプに接続される延長管、床用吸込具などを有した電気掃除機に、ブラシノズルや隙間ノズルとして前記先端パイプや延長管の先端に着脱自在に取付けられるものであった。その構成としては先端パイプや延長管の先端部などに設けた取付け部に回動自在・摺動自在・着脱自在に接続可能な形態が一般的であった（例えば、特許文献１、特許文献２、特許文献３、特許文献４参照）。
特開２０００−０７０１８７号公報特開２０００−２７９３５２号公報特許第３２１３６０８号公報特許第３３４４１３６号公報 This type of conventional suction tool includes a hose communicating with a dust collection chamber of a vacuum cleaner, a tip pipe provided at the tip of the hose, an extension pipe connected to the tip pipe, a suction tool for floors, and the like. The machine was detachably attached to the tip of the tip pipe or extension pipe as a brush nozzle or a gap nozzle. In general, the configuration is such that it can be pivotably, slidably, and detachably connected to an attachment portion provided at the distal end portion of the distal end pipe or extension tube (for example, Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2). , Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4).

しかしながら、上記構成では、ブラシノズルや隙間ノズルなどの吸込具を先端パイプに装着する時には、まず、先端パイプから延長管を取り外した後、吸込具を握り収納場所から取り外し、または回動させて先端パイプに装着する必要があった。また、吸込具を先端パイプに対して正しい位置に装着しないと吸込具の吸込口が意図しない方向に向くため、使いにくいという欠点があり、位置決めのし易さが課題であった。さらには先端パイプから取り外す時には、上記とは逆に先端パイプから吸込具を握り吸込具を取り外してまたは回動させて収納場所に収納した後、先端パイプに延長管を装着する必要があり、吸込具と延長管の付け替えに汚れやすい吸込具を握らなくてはならず不衛生であるとともに、吸込具と延長管の着脱、吸込具の収納部からの着脱の３動作が必要であり、使用性が悪いという課題があった。また、吸込具の吸込口の角度が固定されている構成や、吸込具の吸込口の角度が可動できる構成でも手で角度調整する必要がある構成となっており、やはり、不衛生であるとともに使用性が悪いという課題がある。 However, in the above configuration, when attaching a suction tool such as a brush nozzle or a gap nozzle to the tip pipe, first remove the extension tube from the tip pipe and then remove the suction tool from the storage location or rotate it to rotate the tip. It was necessary to attach to the pipe. In addition, if the suction tool is not mounted at the correct position with respect to the tip pipe, the suction port of the suction tool is directed in an unintended direction, so that there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to use, and easy positioning is a problem. Furthermore, when removing from the tip pipe, it is necessary to attach the extension pipe to the tip pipe after holding the suction tool from the tip pipe and removing or rotating it into the storage place. It is unsanitary to grip a suction tool that is easily soiled when replacing the tool and the extension pipe, and it requires three operations: attaching / detaching the suction tool and extension pipe, and attaching / detaching the suction tool from the storage section. There was a problem of being bad. In addition, it is a configuration where the angle of the suction port of the suction tool is fixed and the angle of the suction port of the suction tool is movable, and it is necessary to adjust the angle by hand. There is a problem of poor usability.

The problem of poor usability remains. Similarly, the attachment / detachment of the suction tool for the floor and the attachment / detachment of the suction tool are necessary for attaching / detaching the suction tool to / from the extension pipe.

本発明は上記課題を解決するもので、吸込具と延長管などの付け替え時に吸込具に触れることなく、また、吸込具の収納が掃除作業の延長で行うことができる、衛生的で使用性に優れた吸込具を提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, without touching the suction tool when replacing the suction tool and the extension pipe, etc., and storing the suction tool by extending the cleaning work, in a hygienic and usable manner.

Even if a large force is applied in the direction in which the member is positioned substantially parallel to the axial direction of the pipe member, the tip of the storage cover body is prevented from directly contacting the surface to be cleaned, and the surface to be cleaned is not damaged. Therefore, the usability can be further improved.

第１８の発明は、収納カバー体の入り口先端部に配設した軟質材は、パイプ部材の先端部より少し突出して配設したもので、吸口部材をパイプ部材の軸方向に対して略平行に位置させる方向に大きな力が加わっても、被掃除面に直接、パイプ部材の先端部や収納カバー体の先端部が当たるのを防止し、被掃除面への傷つきを防止することができ、さらなる使用性の向上が図れるものである。 According to an eighteenth aspect of the invention, the soft material provided at the entrance end of the storage cover body is provided so as to protrude slightly from the end of the pipe member, and the suction member is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the pipe member. Even if a large force is applied in the direction of positioning, it is possible to prevent the tip of the pipe member or the tip of the storage cover body from directly hitting the surface to be cleaned, thereby preventing damage to the surface to be cleaned. Usability can be improved.

第１９の発明は、収納カバー体は左右に分割された部材とパイプ部材の軸方向に挿入した延長管などと係合する係止部、他端側に押し釦を有する尾錠を覆う尾錠カバー体とで構成され、左右の部材の固定手段として少なくとも尾錠カバー体の取付け部側は尾錠カバー体を左右の部材とリブなどで結合させることにより、左右の部材を固定するもので、収納カバー体の外郭を形成するために必要な部品で外郭の固定の一部が行え、小型化、部品点数の削減、安価な構成が可能となるものである。 According to a nineteenth aspect of the present invention, the storage cover body is a buckle cover body that covers a buckle having a member divided into left and right, an engaging portion that engages with an extension pipe inserted in the axial direction of the pipe member, and a push button on the other end As a fixing means for the left and right members, at least the attachment portion side of the buckle cover body is to fix the left and right members by connecting the buckle cover body with the left and right members and ribs, etc. A part of the outer shell can be fixed with the parts necessary to form the outer shell, and the size can be reduced, the number of parts can be reduced, and an inexpensive configuration can be achieved.

Therefore, in this state, it becomes possible to clean the sofa 18 or the wall as the suction tool 18 immediately. Further, since the brush 21 is always urged toward the surface to be cleaned by the urging force of the hook spring 24, the adhesion to the surface to be cleaned is good, dust can be efficiently removed, and the tip pipe 14 is not covered. Even if the angle of the cleaning surface changes, the surface of the brush 21 rotates along the surface to be cleaned, so that the angle of the handle 12 does not need to be changed, the usability is improved, and the cleaning performance is also improved. .

さらには、爪楊枝やボタン、小石などの重量のある塵埃がブラシ２１の通常の角度（本実施の形態でのα）で吸わなくても、先端パイプ１４を被掃除面に押し付けてブラシ２１の角度を変えて、ブラシ２１先端からパイプ部材１９の接続部Ａ２３の距離が短くなることにより、ブラシ２１部の真空圧が増大して吸込むことが可能となり、掃除実態にあった吸込み性の優れた吸込具１８を提供することができるものである。 Further, even if heavy dust such as toothpicks, buttons, pebbles, etc. is not sucked at the normal angle of the brush 21 (α in the present embodiment), the tip pipe 14 is pressed against the surface to be cleaned and the angle of the brush 21 By changing the distance between the tip of the brush 21 and the connecting portion A23 of the pipe member 19, the vacuum pressure of the brush 21 can be increased and suction can be performed. The tool 18 can be provided.

また、ブラシホルダー２２がパイプ部材１９側に移動する方向に大きな力が加わっても外郭右３７、外郭左３８の先端略外周に軟質材で形成されたバンパー４１を配置しているので被掃除面への傷つきが防止できる。さらには、ブラシ２１が外郭右３７、外郭左３８内に収納された状態でブラシ２１先端部が外郭右３７、外郭左３８より突出していることにより、被掃除面への傷つきがより防止できるとともにその収納状態でもブラシ２１による簡単な掃除が可能であり、さらにはブラシ２１が外郭右３７、外郭左３８に突っかかって出てこないなどの不具合も防止できるものである。また、ブラシ２１の角度αを６０°に設定していることにより、ブラシ２１先端面が把手１２と略平行になり、自然な姿勢で把手１２が移動でき、楽に掃除が行える。 Further, even when a large force is applied in the direction in which the brush holder 22 moves toward the pipe member 19, the bumper 41 made of a soft material is disposed on the outer periphery of the outer right 37 and the outer left 38, so that the surface to be cleaned Can be prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, since the brush 21 is housed in the outer right 37 and the outer left 38 and the tip of the brush 21 protrudes from the outer right 37 and the outer left 38, the surface to be cleaned can be further prevented from being damaged. Even in the housed state, simple cleaning with the brush 21 is possible, and further, problems such as the brush 21 sticking to the outer right 37 and the outer left 38 and not coming out can be prevented. Further, by setting the angle α of the brush 21 to 60 °, the tip end surface of the brush 21 is substantially parallel to the handle 12, and the handle 12 can be moved in a natural posture so that cleaning can be performed easily.

次に、ブラシ２１収納する時や、延長管１３をパイプ部材１９に接続する時には、ブラシ２１の弾性力がフックバネ２４の附勢力（弾性力）と同等以上に設定していることから、図９に示すようにブラシ２１を被掃除面に押し付け、先端パイプ１４をＣ方向に回転させ、ブラシホルダー２２を回動させることにより、被係合部Ａ３６が尾錠Ａ２９の係合部Ａ３５に係合して、ブラシホルダー２２がパイプ部材１９の上方に位置して保持され、外郭右３７、外郭左３８の中に容易に収納されてパイプ部材１９の接続部Ａ２３に延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８が容易に挿入でき、図４、図５に示すように延長管１３に接続できるものである。また、パイプ部材１９に穴２５とストッパーＡ２６を形成することにより、図１０に示すようにブラシ２１を収納しなくてもブラシホルダー２２部に延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８が挿入できる連通部２２Ａを有しているため、ブラシホルダー２２の連通部２２Ａに沿って延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８を挿入し、延長管１３をＤ方向に回動させることにより、被接続部Ａ２８がストッパーＡ２６に当接して延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８の挿入とともにブラシホルダー２２が回動してパイプ部材１９の上方に位置して保持され、外郭右３７、外郭左３８の中に容易に収納されてパイプ部材１９の接続部Ａ２３に延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８が容易に挿入でき、延長管１３を接続できるものである。さらには、ブラシホルダー２２の回転軸２０を配置側とは略反対側の吸込口となる先端部近傍角部に形成した平面部２２Ａを指などで押すと同様にブラシホルダー２２がパイプ部材１９側に回動して、確実に被係合部Ａ３６が尾錠Ａ２９の係合部Ａ３５に係合して、ブラシホルダー２２がパイプ部材１９の上方に位置して保持される。 Next, when the brush 21 is housed or when the extension pipe 13 is connected to the pipe member 19, the elastic force of the brush 21 is set equal to or greater than the urging force (elastic force) of the hook spring 24. As shown in FIG. 2, the engaged portion A36 is engaged with the engaging portion A35 of the buckle A29 by pressing the brush 21 against the surface to be cleaned, rotating the tip pipe 14 in the C direction, and rotating the brush holder 22. Thus, the brush holder 22 is held above the pipe member 19 and easily accommodated in the outer right 37 and the outer left 38, and the connected portion A28 of the extension pipe 13 is connected to the connecting portion A23 of the pipe member 19. It can be easily inserted and can be connected to the extension tube 13 as shown in FIGS. Further, by forming the hole 25 and the stopper A26 in the pipe member 19, as shown in FIG. 10, the communicating portion 22A in which the connected portion A28 of the extension pipe 13 can be inserted into the brush holder 22 portion without housing the brush 21 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the connected portion A28 is connected to the stopper A26 by inserting the connected portion A28 of the extension tube 13 along the communicating portion 22A of the brush holder 22 and rotating the extension tube 13 in the D direction. The brush holder 22 is rotated with the insertion of the connected portion A28 of the extension pipe 13 and held above the pipe member 19, and is easily accommodated in the outer right 37 and the outer left 38 to be piped. The connected portion A28 of the extension tube 13 can be easily inserted into the connection portion A23 of the member 19, and the extension tube 13 can be connected. Further, when the rotary shaft 20 of the brush holder 22 is pressed with a finger or the like on the flat surface portion 22A formed at the corner near the tip which is the suction port on the side substantially opposite to the arrangement side, the brush holder 22 is similarly moved to the pipe member 19 side. The engaged portion A36 is reliably engaged with the engaging portion A35 of the buckle A29, and the brush holder 22 is positioned and held above the pipe member 19.

また、外郭右３７、外郭左３８の中にブラシホルダー２２とカバー体４２とブラシ２１の大部分が収納されることにより、収納状態で汚れやすいブラシホルダー２２やブラシ２１などに触れにくく、また、見た目にも汚れが目立たないため、衛生的である。 Further, since most of the brush holder 22, the cover body 42, and the brush 21 are stored in the outer right 37 and the outer left 38, it is difficult to touch the brush holder 22 and the brush 21 that are easily soiled in the stored state. It is hygienic because the dirt is not noticeable.

また、ブラシホルダー２２が一定の角度αに位置した時にブラシホルダー２２とパイプ部材１９との間に発生する隙間を覆うカバー体４２を配設することにより、ブラシホルダー２２を大きくすること無く、パイプ部材１９との間に連通部２２Ａを形成することができ、ブラシホルダー２２の回動角度αを大きくして掃除範囲を拡大しても小型の吸込具１８が提供できる。 Further, by arranging a cover body 42 that covers a gap generated between the brush holder 22 and the pipe member 19 when the brush holder 22 is positioned at a certain angle α, the pipe holder 22 is not enlarged, and the pipe holder 22 is not enlarged. A communication portion 22A can be formed between the member 19 and the small suction tool 18 can be provided even if the rotation angle α of the brush holder 22 is increased to expand the cleaning range.

したがってソファーや壁際などを掃除する時に使用する吸込具１８の取付け、取り外しをする必要がなく、また、塵埃を吸込んだ吸込具１８やブラシ２１に触れること無く、延長管１３の着脱動作や掃除動作と連動して吸込具１８の使用状態、収納状態が選択でき、使用性が著しく向上するとともに清潔で収納性に優れ、かつ、掃除性能の優れた吸込具１８を提供でき、多大な効用を得ることができるものである。 Therefore, it is not necessary to attach or remove the suction tool 18 used for cleaning the sofa or the wall, and the extension tube 13 can be attached or detached without touching the suction tool 18 or the brush 21 that has sucked in the dust. In conjunction with the suction device 18, the use state and the storage state of the suction tool 18 can be selected, the usability can be remarkably improved, and the suction tool 18 can be provided which is clean and excellent in storage property and excellent in cleaning performance. It is something that can be done.

本発明の第２の実施の形態について、図１２を用いて説明する。 (Embodiment 2)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

なお、第１の実施の形態と同一の部品については、同一符号を付与し、説明を省略する。 Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

２６はブラシホルダー２２の回転軸２０近傍に構成したストッパーＡであり、ブラシホルダー２２がパイプ部材１９に対して所定の角度に回動突出した位置になった時にパイプ部材１９の外郭と当接してブラシホルダー２２の位置を規制するものである。 Reference numeral 26 denotes a stopper A configured in the vicinity of the rotary shaft 20 of the brush holder 22, which comes into contact with the outer shell of the pipe member 19 when the brush holder 22 is in a position protruding from the pipe member 19 at a predetermined angle. The position of the brush holder 22 is regulated.

吸込具１８を使用する時に、尾錠Ａ２９の釦Ａ３２を押して延長管１３をパイプ部材１９から外すとパイプ部材１９の先端に配置した吸込部材としてのブラシホルダー２２の係合部Ａ３５と尾錠２９の被係合部Ａ３６による係合が外れるとともに、ストッパーＡ２６が延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８との当接がなくなることにより、パイプ部材１９上方に位置していたブラシホルダー２２がフックバネ２４の附勢力によって接続部Ａ２３側に回動し、ストッパーＡ２６がパイプ部材１９の外郭に当接してブラシホルダー２２がパイプ部材１９に対して一定の角度αを有した状態まで回動する。したがってこの状態ですぐ吸込具１８としてソファーや壁際などの掃除が可能になる。また、フックバネ２４による附勢力によってブラシ２１が常に被掃除面側に附勢されていることにより、被掃除面への密着性が良く、塵埃の除去が効率的に行えるとともに、先端パイプ１４に対する被掃除面の角度が変わってもブラシ２１面が被掃除面に沿って回動することにより、把手１２の角度を変える必要がなく、使用性が向上し、かつ、掃除性能も向上するものである。また、パイプ部材１９に実施の形態１で構成した穴２５を形成する必要がないため、パイプ部材１９の強度を損なうことなく、強度、耐久性に優れた吸込具１８を提供することができるものである。 When the suction tool 18 is used, if the extension tube 13 is removed from the pipe member 19 by pressing the button A32 of the buckle A29, the engagement portion A35 of the brush holder 22 disposed at the tip of the pipe member 19 and the cover of the buckle 29 The engagement by the engagement portion A36 is disengaged, and the stopper A26 is not in contact with the connected portion A28 of the extension tube 13, so that the brush holder 22 located above the pipe member 19 is moved by the biasing force of the hook spring 24. The stopper A26 contacts the outline of the pipe member 19, and the brush holder 22 rotates to a state having a certain angle α with respect to the pipe member 19. Therefore, in this state, it becomes possible to clean the sofa 18 or the wall as the suction tool 18 immediately. Further, since the brush 21 is always urged toward the surface to be cleaned by the urging force of the hook spring 24, the adhesion to the surface to be cleaned is good, dust can be efficiently removed, and the tip pipe 14 is not covered. Even if the angle of the cleaning surface changes, the surface of the brush 21 rotates along the surface to be cleaned, so that the angle of the handle 12 does not need to be changed, the usability is improved, and the cleaning performance is also improved. . Moreover, since it is not necessary to form the hole 25 comprised in Embodiment 1 in the pipe member 19, the suction tool 18 excellent in intensity | strength and durability can be provided, without impairing the intensity | strength of the pipe member 19. It is.

（実施の形態３）
本発明の第３の実施の形態について、図１３を用いて説明する。 (Embodiment 3)
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

２６はブラシホルダー２２の回転軸２０配設側と略反対の位置であるパイプカバー７４上部前方に設けたストッパーＡであり、ブラシホルダー２２がパイプ部材１９に対して所定の角度に回動突出した位置になった時にブラシホルダー２２の被係止部Ａに当接してブラシホルダー２２の位置を規制するものである。 Reference numeral 26 denotes a stopper A provided in front of the upper portion of the pipe cover 74 at a position substantially opposite to the side on which the rotation shaft 20 of the brush holder 22 is disposed. The brush holder 22 protrudes from the pipe member 19 at a predetermined angle. When the position is reached, the position of the brush holder 22 is regulated by coming into contact with the locked portion A of the brush holder 22.

吸込具１８を使用する時に、尾錠Ａ２９の釦Ａ３２を押して延長管１３をパイプ部材１９から外すとパイプ部材１９の先端に配置した吸込部材としてのブラシホルダー２２の係合部Ａ３５と尾錠２９の被係合部Ａ３６による係合が外れるとともに、ストッパーＡ２６が延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８との当接がなくなることにより、パイプ部材１９上方に位置していたブラシホルダー２２がフックバネ２４の附勢力によって接続部Ａ２３側に回動し、ストッパーＡ２６がブラシホルダー２２の被係止部Ａに当接してブラシホルダー２２がパイプ部材１９に対して一定の角度αを有した状態まで回動する。したがってこの状態ですぐ吸込具１８としてソファーや壁際などの掃除が可能になる。また、フックバネ２４による附勢力によってブラシ２１が常に被掃除面側に附勢されていることにより、被掃除面への密着性が良く、塵埃の除去が効率的に行えるとともに、先端パイプ１４に対する被掃除面の角度が変わってもブラシ２１面が被掃除面に沿って回動することにより、把手１２の角度を変える必要がなく、使用性が向上し、かつ、掃除性能も向上するものである。また、ブラシホルダー２２の回転軸２０から遠い位置でブラシホルダー２２の位置規制を行っているため、ブラシホルダー２２の回動突出した位置でのブラシホルダー２２の位置規制がより確実かつ、強固に行え、ブラシホルダー２２に回動させる方向に力が加わってもストッパーＡ及び被係止部Ａ３６が損傷しにくくなり、ストッパーＡ及び被係止部Ａ３６の強度を損なうことなく、強度、耐久性に優れた吸込具１８を提供することができるものである。 When the suction tool 18 is used, if the extension tube 13 is removed from the pipe member 19 by pressing the button A32 of the buckle A29, the engagement portion A35 of the brush holder 22 disposed at the tip of the pipe member 19 and the cover of the buckle 29 The engagement by the engagement portion A36 is disengaged, and the stopper A26 is not in contact with the connected portion A28 of the extension tube 13, so that the brush holder 22 located above the pipe member 19 is moved by the biasing force of the hook spring 24. The stopper A26 contacts the locked portion A of the brush holder 22 so that the brush holder 22 rotates to a state having a certain angle α with respect to the pipe member 19. Therefore, in this state, it becomes possible to clean the sofa 18 or the wall as the suction tool 18 immediately. Further, since the brush 21 is always urged toward the surface to be cleaned by the urging force of the hook spring 24, the adhesion to the surface to be cleaned is good, dust can be efficiently removed, and the tip pipe 14 is not covered. Even if the angle of the cleaning surface changes, the surface of the brush 21 rotates along the surface to be cleaned, so that the angle of the handle 12 does not need to be changed, the usability is improved, and the cleaning performance is also improved. . Further, since the position of the brush holder 22 is regulated at a position far from the rotation shaft 20 of the brush holder 22, the position of the brush holder 22 at the position where the brush holder 22 is rotated and projected can be more reliably and firmly performed. Even if a force is applied to the brush holder 22 in the direction of rotation, the stopper A and the locked portion A36 are not easily damaged, and the strength and durability are excellent without damaging the strength of the stopper A and the locked portion A36. The suction tool 18 can be provided.

また、図１４に示すように吸込具１８を先端パイプ１４や延長管１３の先端部に固定して構成しても同様の効果が得られることは言うまでも無い。 Further, it goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even when the suction tool 18 is fixed to the distal end portion of the distal end pipe 14 or the extension tube 13 as shown in FIG.

なお、本実施の形態では、ブラシ付きの吸込具で説明したが、尾錠Ａ２９によるブラシホルダー２２の収納時の保持が可能な構成であれば、ブラシ２１部に延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８が挿入できる連通部２２Ａを形成しなくても例えば吸込口先端を絞った隙間ノズル形態でも同様の効果が得られ、また、ブラシホルダー２２に形成するストッパーＡ２６を延長管１３の被接続部Ａ２８に当接させなくても同様の効果が得られ、より簡単な構成が可能になることは言うまでも無い。 In the present embodiment, the suction tool with a brush has been described. However, if the brush holder 22 can be held by the buckle A29, the connected portion A28 of the extension tube 13 is connected to the brush 21 portion. Even if the communicating portion 22A that can be inserted is not formed, for example, a similar effect can be obtained in a gap nozzle configuration in which the suction port tip is narrowed, and the stopper A26 formed on the brush holder 22 is applied to the connected portion A28 of the extension pipe 13. Needless to say, the same effect can be obtained without contact, and a simpler configuration is possible.

また、先端パイプ１４、パイプ部材１９、延長管１３、床用吸込具１５に同一形状の接続部、被接続部を構成していることにより、先端パイプ１４への取り付けと同様に延長管１３の先端に本発明の吸込具１８を配置しても同様の効果が得られることは言うまでも無い。 In addition, since the distal end pipe 14, the pipe member 19, the extension pipe 13, and the floor suction tool 15 have the same shape connecting portion and connected portion, the extension pipe 13 can be attached in the same manner as the attachment to the distal end pipe 14. It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even if the suction tool 18 of the present invention is arranged at the tip.

また、本発明の構成は本実施の形態に限定されるものでは無い。 The configuration of the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

以上のように、本発明にかかる吸込具は、先端パイプなどへの吸込具の着脱が吸込具に触れること無く、かつ、延長管の着脱における動作、掃除動作の中で容易に行えるとともに吸込具の収納も行え、衛生的で使用性の向上が図れるとともに掃除性能の向上が図れるので非常に有効である。 As described above, the suction tool according to the present invention can be easily attached / detached to / from the end pipe without touching the suction tool, and can be easily performed in the operation of attaching / detaching the extension pipe and the cleaning operation. Can be stored, and it is very effective because it is hygienic and improves usability and cleaning performance.
