Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cleaning the floor, in particular a vacuum cleaner, with a suction device, on the housing of which a first handle is attached.
  • vacuum cleaners which essentially consist of a suction device to which a suction pipe, which is mostly flexible and is provided with a suction nozzle, is connected.
  • a fixed handle is attached to the suction pipe connection-side end of the housing of the suction device.
  • the protruding handle made of injection molded plastic over the contour of the housing is composed of an upper and a lower handle half.
  • the upper half of the handle is in one piece with an upper half shell and the lower half in one piece with a lower half shell.
  • the composite handle thus has a parting line.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a handle arrangement is to be specified with which the wearing comfort of the device can be improved and at the same time a compact construction of the suction device can be achieved.
  • the first handle is arranged on the top of the housing so that a central handle section is pierced by a straight line passing through the center of gravity of the suction device, the position of which is cut by the intersection of the large vertical plane of the housing with a perpendicular one small vertical plane is defined.
  • the arrangement according to the invention has the advantage that the device can be carried without hindrance by a suction pipe connected to it, in the worn state it does not assume an inclined position due to the handle arrangement above the center of gravity, so that the wearing comfort is improved.
  • the first handle is advantageously arranged parallel to the large vertical plane of the housing.
  • the large vertical plane can be identical to the plane of symmetry of the handle.
  • the contour of the top of the first handle expediently forms a continuous continuation of the contour of the top of the housing. Since the top of the first handle consequently does not rise above the contour specified by the top of the housing, the housing can be made particularly compact and space-saving.
  • a suitably semicircular design of the underside of the first handle contributes to a further increase in the Comfort.
  • the first handle spans a first recessed grip formed in the upper side of the housing. The design of the first handle, which extends from one bank of the recessed grip to the opposite bank, ensures that it is held particularly well on the housing.
  • a second handle is provided on the suction pipe connection end of the device, which further facilitates the handling of the device.
  • a second recessed grip can extend from the bottom of the housing in the direction of the top of the housing.
  • an inwardly projecting handle bead can be formed on the handle.
  • An embodiment that is advantageous in terms of production technology consists in forming the housing from an upper and a lower housing half-shell, each made of injection-molded plastic, wherein the first handle and the first recessed grip can be produced in one piece with the upper housing half-shell.
  • the second handle and the second recessed grip can also be produced in one piece with the lower housing half-shell.
  • FIG. 1 The exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a floor vacuum cleaner which has a housing 3 produced from a lower and an upper housing half-shell 1 and 2, the lower housing half-shell 1 being provided with a circumferential bumper band 4. Two rear wheels 5 and a nose wheel 6 are also attached to the lower housing half-shell 1.
  • the upper housing half-shell 2 is provided with a dust chamber cover 7.
  • a first handle 8 is formed on the upper housing half-shell 2, which extends perpendicularly to a small vertical plane V1 running through the center of gravity S of the suction device and over a recessed grip 9.
  • the small vertical plane V1 perpendicular to the image plane intersects with the large vertical plane V2 indicated by the broken line a straight line G which runs through a central section 10 of the first handle 8.
  • a second handle 12 is provided in one piece with the lower housing half-shell 1.
  • a second recessed grip 13 extends from an underside GU of the housing towards an upper side GO of the housing.
  • An inwardly projecting grip bead 14 is formed on the inside of the second grip 12 facing the second recessed grip 13.
  • a fan 15 is fastened in the housing 1 below the first handle 8.
  • a cable drum 17 and an electronic assembly 18 are accommodated in the housing below a switching device 16 attached in the vicinity of the first handle 8.
  • the suction device Since the middle grip section 10 of the first grip 8 is located above the center of gravity S of the suction device, the suction device does not stand in an inclined position when the first grip 8 is carried. This simplifies the handling of the device.
  • the position of the handle in the center of gravity of the vacuum cleaner enables the attachment of a carrying strap T directly on the handle.
  • the shoulder strap is simply wrapped around the handle and with a Buckle or a clip - not shown in the exemplary embodiment - connected.
  • the canister can be carried on the shoulder of an operator with a suitably length-adjusted shoulder strap. It is also conceivable that the shoulder strap is formed so that the vacuum cleaner can be carried on the back.
  • Fig. 3 shows the attachment of the shoulder strap T at two fixed points F1, F2 which are arranged at approximately the same distance from the central handle.
  • the fixed points F1, F2 are designed as slots which extend into the upper part of the housing in a sack-like manner.
  • Fastening means which are attached to the two ends of the carrying strap T can be inserted and locked into these slots. The locking can be done by resilient locking tongues, which are not shown in detail.
  • the latching tongues snap into the sack-shaped slots with a projection provided thereon. This ensures a secure hold of the fasteners. By pushing catch springs back against their spring force, the fastening means can then be released again and pulled out of the slots F1, F2.
