Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, with at least one manually operated or foot-operated control element in Shape of a push button, a handle or the like.
  • Vacuum cleaners usually have a smooth surface.
  • the difference to control elements is often a structured one Surface used, e.g. a corrugation.
  • a corrugation e.g. a corrugation.
  • Grip of the surface can be achieved as there is still a hard surface that you can easily slip off.
  • the invention is based on the problem of a vacuum cleaner Specify the type described above, the disadvantages mentioned avoids and in particular improved handling the controls.
  • control element one or more Attack sections, which consists of a softer, non-slip plastic material than that of a harder one Plastic material existing remaining part of the control element consist.
  • attack sections which consists of a softer, non-slip plastic material than that of a harder one Plastic material existing remaining part of the control element consist.
  • Such a connection of two components is also called hard-soft connection.
  • the softer, more resilient material which also has a larger coefficient of friction, one better grip of the surface is achieved.
  • the Harder material the control element is still very stable. This way the beneficial properties of both Materials optimally combined with each other.
  • the softer Material an elastomer or an elastomer-like material, for example a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE material) and used a thermoplastic for the harder material.
  • TPE material thermoplastic elastomer
  • the elastomer-like Material is a SEBS material.
  • ABS polypropylene
  • PP Polypropylene
  • ABS is an amorphous material.
  • Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline Material used as a so-called PP copolymer and overall somewhat softer than the ABS material.
  • a particularly good effect is achieved if the softer material is applied as a surface covering.
  • the inner, harder material provides the stability of the Control element safe, at the same time by the elastomer good grip and touchability of the surface.
  • control element is handle-like is formed and the surface covering has an elongated, essentially round beam section from the harder Material surrounds like a coat.
  • the control element can both the handle of a vacuum cleaner hose, the is connected to a vacuum cleaner, as well as around the Handle of a handheld vacuum cleaner.
  • the surface covering is included only provided in the area that is usually at Use is touched, and in a correspondingly good grip quality is required.
  • control element formed in the form of a push button
  • Surface covering a substantially flat support section covering at least partially from the harder material.
  • Canister vacuum cleaner usually have one or more control buttons on, as an on / off switch or for cable rewind serve.
  • the softer material used as the surface covering enables reliable foot control without slipping.
  • the harder part of the pushbutton underneath secures the stability of the control.
  • the Surface covering itself is structured superficially or for Formation of a structure from several side by side Sections exist. Such a surface structure can already in the production by an appropriate shape will be realized. If more than one side by side Sections are used, these can be in the overall structure be integrated from the harder material.
  • a further alternative embodiment of the inventive concept sees before that part of the control element made of the harder material is hollow at least in sections and several Has breakthroughs.
  • the softer material is introduced inside, the nub-like attack sections penetrate the breakthroughs and protrude.
  • this control element is designed like a handle, wherein the knob-like attack sections in the circumferential direction are distributed. This way, on the whole Scope good adhesion achieved.
  • this control designed as a push button, the knob-like Attack sections essentially over at least part of one flat support section distributed from the harder material be arranged. So on the one hand the reliable switching function the pushbutton ensured, on the other hand enable the nub-like attack sections the safe operation the push button without slipping.
  • Vacuum cleaner can be designed like a handle be and a carrier body made of the harder material with two have mutually opposite attachment lugs, between which the elongated one, made of the softer material Attack section is supported. In this case Control element clamped between the attachment lugs.
  • a mat-like insert can also be made from the softer material can be used, which consists of a flat Basis exists on which the knob-like attack sections protrude, the insert on or in the hollow if necessary Part is arranged such that the knob-like attack sections reach through the breakthroughs.
  • This embodiment is particularly stable because the control element only has individual openings and hardly weakened becomes.
  • the elongated attack section is particularly advantageous as separate component formed between the mounting lugs is preferably held clamped.
  • both components can be manufactured separately, without waiting for the first component to cool down got to. This way you can save even more money Manufacturing 'can be achieved.
  • both are also conceivable Spray parts together or. the ends of the elongated attack section overmolded with the harder material.
  • Fig. 1 shows a part of a vacuum cleaner 1 with a suction pipe 3, the connection between a suction nozzle to a manufactures device housing, not shown.
  • a handle 5 formed integrally with the intake manifold 3 is connected.
  • the handle 5 has several on the surface Wells 7 on in the illustrated embodiment are round.
  • knob-like Attack sections 9 formed from the by the Handle 5 formed surface protrude.
  • the handle 5 is made of ABS or a PP copolymer.
  • the pimpled ones Attack sections 9 are made of a thermoplastic Made of elastomer.
  • the handle 5 is manufactured through a plastic injection molding process, in which the handle first 5 produced as a hollow preform with depressions 7 in which the Nubs 9 are injected.
  • the handle shown in Fig. 2 has knobs 11, the have a rectangular shape with rounded corners.
  • the illustrated embodiment is a mat-like insert Made from an elastomer that is manufactured separately and before the manufacture of the handle body 13 inserted into the mold becomes.
  • the handle body 13 has openings 15 which are penetrated by the knobs 11 of the mat-like insert. There are several such openings 15 in the circumferential direction available.
  • it is possible to make the handle from two bowl-like Form parts between which the insert is placed is so that the knobs through the existing openings grip, after which the parts are connected to each other, e.g. by screwing, gluing, welding or snapping.
  • control element is designed as a handle is. It has a carrier body 19 which consists of the harder one Material exists and is manufactured by injection molding.
  • An attack section 17, which functions as a handle has, is in the space between the on the support body 19th trained, opposite, attachment approaches 21 and 23 added. For this purpose, the attack section 17 at its ends recesses that match the shape of the attachment lugs 21 and 23 are adjusted. Carrier body 19 and the attack section 17 are manufactured separately and then connected with each other.
  • FIG. 5 shows a cross section through a vacuum cleaner handle, whose outer contour is shaped as shown in Figure 3. is.
  • the lower part there is one made of the harder material Hollow profile 3 formed through which the sucked Air is conducted.
  • the upper part is on the outside a surface covering 40 consisting of an elastomer, which envelops an inner carrier body 41, which consists of a harder material, preferably the same material as used in the lower hollow section 3.
  • the production this embodiment is done by the surface covering 40 as prefabricated tubular molding and into the injection molding device is inserted and positioned. Then the Sprayed vacuum cleaner handle. It is also possible to get the first Vacuum cleaner handle with molded support body 41, then in a second step with the elastomer is encapsulated.
  • Fig. 4 represents a vacuum cleaner designed as a vacuum cleaner 1 with a vacuum cleaner housing 37, a dust compartment cover 25 and control elements 27, 29, 31, which act as on / off switches, Power regulation and for cable rewind serve.
  • the control element 29 is designed as a push button and consists of a substantially flat support section 33, that with a nub-like surface covering 35 is provided.
  • the support section is made of ABS, the Knobs are made of an elastomer, making both the required Stability of the push button as well as good usability can be achieved.
  • Nubs 35 have a large coefficient of friction, the a slipping of the foot when operating the cable winder avoids.
