  • the fourth, the rectilinear contour side is preferably associated with an opening flap pivot axis of the filter bag, which opening flap closes the filter bag opening to be penetrated through the vacuum cleaner neck before or after entry of the nozzle. Due to the formation of the rectilinear contour, an improved interaction with the opening flap is achieved, in particular an improved one Force introduction for pivoting the opening flap in the open position.
  • the force acting on the flap via the connecting piece acts via a region extending in accordance with the pivot axis.
  • the ground plan section of the facing connection area is likewise rectilinear, so further preferably aligned parallel to the pivot axis.
  • a further improvement of the interaction of the vacuum cleaner side nozzle and filter bag side opening flap is achieved in that the opening flap rests flat against the associated nozzle surface. Accordingly, the line-like loading of the flap-facing nozzle edge in the course of insertion of the nozzle in the filter bag and concomitant pivoting of the opening flap in the open position in a steadily increasing surface area to obtain the open position over.
  • a hygienic advantage is achieved in that the nozzle surface is adapted in its free extension to the free extent of the flap.
  • the flap surface facing the flap surface preferably covers the opening flap in the operating position over the entire surface, which is further achieved in that the flap extends parallel to the associated nozzle surface.
  • the installation of the opening flap to the associated nozzle surface is effectively supported by a spring element which causes the automatic return movement of the opening flap into the closing position.
  • the spring element can in this case be formed, for example, in the form of a leaf spring or the like, which is connected to the opening at one end of the underside of the holding plate having the opening in the adjacent area and at the other end acts on the rear opening flap.
  • a further improvement of the interaction of the vacuum cleaner side nozzle and filter bag side opening flap is achieved in that the opening flap rests flat against the associated nozzle surface. Accordingly, the line-like action of the flap-facing nozzle edge in the course of insertion of the nozzle into the filter bag and concomitant pivoting of the opening flap in the open position in a steadily increasing to the acquisition of the open position surface engagement.
  • a hygienic advantage is achieved in that the nozzle surface is adapted in its free extension to the free extent of the flap.
  • the flap surface facing the flap surface preferably covers the opening flap in the operating position over the entire surface, which is further achieved in that the flap extends parallel to the associated nozzle surface.
  • the visible during handling with the filter bag to the outside surface of the opening flap is protected during operation against contamination by the dust in the filter bag.
  • the installation of the opening flap to the associated nozzle surface is effectively supported by a spring element which causes the automatic return movement of the opening flap into the closing position.
  • the spring element can in this case, for example, be formed in the form of a leaf spring or the like, which is connected at one end to the underside of the holding plate having the opening in the adjacent region to the opening and the other end acts on the rear opening flap.
  • the invention further relates to an electric vacuum cleaner according to the features of claim 5.
  • the stubs known from this, in which only the suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner are to be introduced, are in need of improvement with regard to the interaction with a filter bag, in particular one which has an opening flap.
  • the invention has the object to provide an electric vacuum cleaner with a favorable nozzle contour.
  • the fourth, the rectilinear contour side is preferably associated with an opening flap pivot axis of the filter bag, which opening flap closes the filter bag opening to be penetrated through the vacuum cleaner neck before or after entry of the nozzle. Due to the design of the rectilinear contour, an improved interaction with the opening flap is achieved, in particular an improved introduction of force for swiveling the opening flap into the open position.
  • This selected floor plan configuration achieves an improved interaction with the opening flap of the filter bag with a good sealing effect between the connection piece and filter bag or filter bag holding plate in the area of the curved contour.
  • Particularly advantageous here is an embodiment in which the Stutzenwandung with the rectilinear contour forms the most freely projecting part of the nozzle. Accordingly, viewed in the direction of its body axis, the neck extends beyond the region of the curved contour in the region of the rectilinear contour, so that when the neck is inserted into the filter bag, the portion of the neck having the rectilinear contour is immersed in advance, in which case a preferably provided opening flap swings open and thus paves the way for the complete entry of the nozzle into the filter bag.
  • an electric vacuum cleaner 1 in the form of a hand-held stalk device, with a base unit 2, which has a suction / blower unit, not shown.
  • a guide stem 3 is anchored, which merges in the region of its free end in a handle 4.
  • a header 5 is connected in terms of flow.
  • This attachment 5 can be a suction nozzle in the simplest way. Shown is a header 5 in the manner of an electric carpet brush.
  • a filter cartridge 6 is further supported on the base unit 2, a filter cartridge 6 is further supported. This can be pivoted away about the axis x of the basic unit 2, to expose the content in the filter cartridge 6 filter bag 7th
  • the filter bag 7 is in FIG. 2 shown in a single presentation.
  • the latter has a rigid holding plate 8, to which an air-permeable bag 9 consisting of a paper or fleece material is fastened.
  • the holding plate 8 is provided with an opening 10 through which the air to be filtered is fed into the filter bag 7.
  • the holding plate opening 10 can be closed by means of an opening flap 11. This is made by a free cut from the holding plate material and hinged in the region of a rectilinear edge on the holding plate 8. This rectilinear edge runs in this case parallel to the narrow edge edges of the overall rectangular in plan view rectangular shaped holding plate 8 and forms a pivot axis y for the opening flap 11.
