Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a device for the collection of dirt in a suction apparatus, for example a vacuum cleaner, an electric brush or similar apparatuses.
  • the device is used to close, automatically, the sack for collecting dirt sucked in when it has to be replaced.
  • DE 3919256 discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device for closing a sack for the collection of dirt, used in a suction apparatus, comprising a closing element mounted sliding inside a plate attached to the sack and provided with a hole to allow the dirty air sucked in by the apparatus to enter into the sack.
  • the closing element is able to close the hole of said plate when the sack has to be removed, so that the dust contained inside it does not come out.
  • Another disadvantage of the known device is that releasing the sack from the compartment of the suction apparatus in which it is normally located and attached, is also done manually. This entails inconvenient operations by the user to replace the sack, with the risk that dust and impurities can come out of the sack.
  • Purpose of the present invention is to achieve a device for closing a sack for the collection of dirt, to be used in a suction apparatus, which allows the user of the apparatus not to come into contact with the dust and impurities in the sack, and also to replace the sack quickly and easily.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a device to close a sack for the collection of dirt used in a suction apparatus for example a vacuum cleaner, an electric brush or similar apparatuses, comprises a container able to contain the sack.
  • the latter comprises a plate provided with a first hole able to allow the passage of the air sucked in by the apparatus inside the sack, and closing means mounted sliding on said plate, able to close said first hole.
  • the container comprises drive means, able to be driven manually by the user, and to cooperate with the plate. Furthermore, the container comprises first attachment means, able to cooperate with said closing means.
  • said drive means comprises a lid pivoted on a fixed part of the container.
  • the lid advantageously comprises second attachment means, able to attach corresponding third attachment means, with which said plate is provided, to cooperate with the plate.
  • said closing means comprises a shutter element, for example consisting of a sliding wall, provided with fourth attachment means, able to attach said first attachment means of the container.
  • the shutter element is also provided with a second hole, of substantially the same size as the first hole and able to coincide with the latter, when the shutter element is in a determinate position inside said plate.
  • the plate and the shutter element are attached to the corresponding attachment means and the shutter element is in said determinate position, in which the second hole and the first hole coincide, allowing the dirty air sucked in to flow inside the sack.
  • the shutter element remains in any case attached to the first attachment means of the container, whereas the plate, attached to the second attachment means of the lid, is drawn by the latter upward together with the sack.
  • the first hole of the plate is closed by the shutter element
  • the plate and the shutter element are constrained by the corresponding attachment means.
  • the sack falls automatically inside the container, ready to be collected by the user and thrown away, so that the replacement of the sack is quick and easy.
  • a device 10 for closing a sack 11 for the collection of dirt is able to be used in a suction apparatus of a known type, not shown in the drawings.
  • the device 10 comprises a container 12, made of plastic material, which is shaped so as to have a circular aperture 13 at one end. Below the circular aperture 13 and outside the container 12, a mobile pipe 14 is pivoted, able to be inserted inside the circular aperture 13. In the mobile pipe 14, furthermore, a sleeve is able to be inserted, of a known type and not shown in the drawings, to convey the dirty air, sucked in by the suction apparatus, inside the container 12, in particular inside the sack 11, as will be described in detail hereafter.
  • the mobile pipe 14 also comprises at its upper part an attachment hole 15.
  • the sack 11 is able to be disposed inside the container 12 and comprises, at one end, a rigid plate 16, also, for example, made of plastic material.
  • the rigid plate 16 is substantially square in shape and is provided, in its upper part, with a first attachment element, or upper attachment 17.
  • the rigid plate 16 is provided at the center with a first circular hole 18, with a diameter substantially equal to that of the circular aperture 13 and into which the mobile pipe 14 is able to be inserted, in order to guarantee the sack 11 a greater stability inside the container 12 and to prevent loss of efficiency of the suction apparatus.
  • a closing wall 19, substantially rectangular in shape, is mounted sliding inside the rigid plate 16 so as to act as a shutter element 19.
  • the closing wall 19 comprises at the lower part a second attachment element, or lower attachment 20, able to attach a corresponding attachment tooth 21 ( fig. 3 ) made inside the container 12 below the circular aperture 13.
  • the lower attachment 20 is also able to prevent the closing wall 19 from coming out of the rigid plate 16.
  • the closing wall 19 is also provided in its lower half with a second circular hole 23 with a diameter substantially equal to that of the first circular hole 18.
  • the container 12 In proximity with said attachment tooth 21, the container 12 is also provided with a guide plate 22, substantially rectangular in shape, disposed transverse to the container 12 and solid with a lateral wall thereof, able to guide the lower attachment 20 in correspondence with the first attachment tooth 21, to make the attachment.
  • a lid 24 is pivoted on a fixed part of the container 12, above and at the opposite end to that where there is the circular aperture 13.
  • the lid 24 is provided, inside and at the opposite end to that where it is pivoted to the container 12, with an attachment element 25, provided with three teeth 26, 27, 28 disposed so as to form a substantially cross-shaped profile.
  • the device 10 functions as follows.
  • the container 12, containing the sack 11 is closed by the lid 24.
  • the sack 11 is attached to the container 12 and to the lid 24 by means of the lower attachment 20 of the closing wall 19 and the upper attachment 17 of the rigid plate 16, attached respectively to the attachment tooth 21 and the first tooth 26 of the attachment element 25.
  • the closing wall 19 is in a position such that its second circular hole 23 and the first circular hole 18 of the rigid plate 16 coincide.
  • the user of the suction apparatus extracts the mobile pipe 14 from the sack 11 and from the container 12, making it rotate on the pins by means of which it is pivoted to the container 12 ( fig. 4 ). Subsequently, the latter is opened by lifting the lid 24 and making it rotate.
  • the closing wall 19 remains attached by means of the lower attachment 20 to the attachment tooth 21, whereas the rigid plate 16, attached to the first tooth 26 of the attachment element 25 of the lid 24, is drawn by the latter upward, together with the sack 11. In this way, as a consequence of the sliding of the rigid plate 16 with respect to the closing wall 19, the first hole 18 of the rigid plate 16 is closed by that part of the closing wall 19 where there is not the second hole 23, in practice automatically closing the sack 11.
