Definitions

  • the invention relates to a telescopic vacuum cleaner suction pipe according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a telescopic vacuum cleaner suction pipe is in the EP 1 033 103 B1 described.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a with respect to its axial length adjustment universal manageable telescopic vacuum cleaner suction tube.
  • this object is achieved according to the characterizing features of claim 1, characterized in that the outer tube has second recesses, which open from the outer tube lateral surface and from the tube central axis outwards, that the outer tube of an additional Outer tube is telescopically overlapped, on whose the locking device facing pipe end an additional locking device is held, cooperates whose at least one locking body with the second recesses of the outer tube.
  • the peculiarity of the telescopic vacuum cleaner suction tube according to the invention is that the inner tube of the inner tube lateral surface away from the pipe center axis inwardly projecting recesses, while the outer tube has second recesses which open in the opposite direction from the outer tube lateral surface and away from the tube axis to the outside. Due to this configuration, the recesses of the inner tube and the second recesses of the outer tube in a telescopic movement can move past each other without collision, so that the insertability, for example, in a packaging-related shortening of the overall arrangement, is hampered in any way.
  • the outer recesses of the outer tube which open outward from the outer tube lateral surface and away from the tube axis permit the installation of an additional outer tube, which can be provided with the same locking device as that of the outer tube, at least in accordance with the principle of operation.
  • the telescopic vacuum cleaner suction tube allows optimal optional shortening of the entire tube assembly and also a large extension length with a variety of individual axial adjustment options.
  • the latching recesses of the inner tube and the second recesses of the outer tube are arranged in the same tube radial plane. This arrangement allows an ergonomically favorable operation along the same generatrix of the pipe arrangement.
  • a further advantageous variant of the invention consists in that the latching recesses of the inner tube and the second latching recesses of the outer tube are aligned axially with one another when both locking devices are in their blocking position.
  • This arrangement is also important in view of the end-side pipe seal of the inner tube, wherein the length of the inner tube is to be dimensioned such that the pipe seal with its sealing surface in the respect to the second recesses undeformed pipe wall portion of the outer tube, ensuring a uniform seal is located.
  • Another embodiment according to the invention consists in that the latching recesses of the inner tube and the second latching recesses of the outer tube have a different pitch.
  • the recesses of the inner tube have a narrow pitch, thus allowing an individual fine adjustment in the Saugaille, while the greater division compared to the second recesses of the outer tube can take into account different person sizes.
  • the pitch of the outer tube may be configured such that the outer tube has only two latching recesses, one being adjacent to the latching device and the other being disposed on the portion of the outer tube facing away from the latching device.
  • every second latching recess is formed between two recesses projecting from the lateral surface of the outer tube, in particular elongate rectangular ones.
  • the bottom of each second recess is therefore identical to the lateral surface of the outer tube.
  • a telescopic vacuum cleaner suction pipe is designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the telescopic vacuum cleaner suction tube 10 has an outer tube 11, an axially displaceable in the latter inner tube 12 and finally an outer tube 11 telescoping cross-additional outer tube 13.
  • the inner tube 12 has from the inner tube outer circumferential surface 14 away from the tube center axis M outwardly projecting locking recesses 15.
  • the outer tube 11 has second latching recesses 16 which open outward from the outer tube jacket surface 17 and away from the tube central axis M.
  • the bottom of each second latching recess 16 is therefore identical to the outer tube jacket surface 17 and therefore forms an undeformed tube wall region 35.
  • the outer tube 11 telescoping cross-additional outer tube 13 has no locking recesses, it is smooth on the whole. All tubes 11, 12 and 13 have at least substantially a circular cylindrical cross-section.
  • the outer tube 11 carries at its pipe end 19 a locking device 18, while the additional outer tube 13 carries at its pipe end 20 an additional locking device 21.
  • Both locking devices 18, 21 are formed substantially the same, so that the same reference numerals have been used for analogously same or equivalent components.
  • the locking devices 18, 21 are each insert-inserted by means of axial sections of guide sleeves 22 in the respective pipe end 19, 20.
  • Each guide sleeve 22 is superimposed by an actuating sleeve 25, which in each case counter to the spring restoring force of a mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the respective guide sleeve 22 about part-ring-like bar spring 26 in the mutually opposite axial directions x and z back and forth.
  • the end of movement of the respective bar spring 26, which is axially carried along by the actuating sleeve 25, is at the same time designated B.
  • a locking projection 27 respectively holds the locking body 24 in its locking position. If an axial adjustment of the arrangement is intended, the actuating sleeve 25 need only be displaced in one of the directions x or z, so that the blocking body 24 pivotally connected to the guide sleeve 22 by means of the retaining tongue 23, aligned with one of the escape spaces 28, moves out of its blocking position can swing up into the unlocked position.
  • the guide sleeve 22 held on the outer tube 11 has an approximately spring-like radial guide extension 29, which engages in an axial longitudinal groove 30 of the inner tube 12 axially displaceable in the manner of a spring / groove connection.
  • the anti-rotation between the outer tube 11 and the additional outer tube 13 may be similar, as described above.
  • the held on the additional outer tube 13 guide sleeve 22 engages around approximately elongated shapes 31 of the outer tube 11 in a manner not shown with an approximately groove-like guide recess laterally in the tube circumferential direction.
  • the recesses 15 of the inner tube 12 and the second recesses 16 of the outer tube 11 have the same pitch.
  • the flow direction of the air is denoted by y.
