Definitions

the present invention relates more particularly to domestic vacuum cleaners of the canister type making it possible to suck up dust and waste present on a surface to be cleaned, which may for example be tiling, parquet, laminate, carpet or a rug.
sled-type vacuum cleaner reference is made to a vacuum cleaner that can move by rolling on the ground, for example using wheels or rollers when the vacuum cleaner is in use.
a suction nozzle is generally connected to a vacuum cleaner housing via an attachment comprising a suction tube which is rigid and a suction pipe which is flexible.
the user of a sled vacuum cleaner holds the suction nozzle via a handle fixed to the suction tube.
a vacuum cleaner housing of a sled vacuum cleaner is generally pulled by the user via the grip handle and the suction pipe, this mode of movement is at the origin of the name "sled vacuum cleaner".
the name sled vacuum cleaner also covers vacuum cleaners with motorized wheels or rollers capable of following the movements of the suction nozzle, the handle or the user.
the gripping handle more particularly has the shape of a fork comprising two parallel arms which are spaced apart from each other and which extend from two sides of the pivot connection.
the articulation zone defined by the pivot connection comprises an articulation space in which the second end portion of the suction tube can be moved during movements of the grip handle between the first and second handle positions.
Such an articulation space is conducive to the jamming of objects between the two parallel arms which can limit the amplitude of the rotation between the first and second stick positions or even block this rotation. Furthermore, such an articulation space is likely to induce jamming of fingers or of a hand between the two parallel arms or even to promote pinching of the fingers of a user during movements of the grip handle between the first and second sleeve positions. In addition, such an articulation space has a negative impact on the aesthetic appearance of the accessory when the grip handle occupies the first handle position.
the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.
the technical problem underlying the invention consists in particular of providing an accessory for a sled-type vacuum cleaner which is more reliable and which limits the risk of injury to the user.
the accessory further comprises a cover mounted movably, for example on the suction tube, between a covering position in which the cover at least partially covers the articulation zone and a release position in which the cover releases at least partially the articulation zone and allows pivoting of the grip handle into the second handle position, the accessory being configured such that the cover occupies the covering position when the grip handle occupies the first handle position and such that a movement of the grip handle from the first handle position to the second handle position causes the cover to move from the cover position to the release position.
the articulation zone of the accessory according to the present invention is at least partially covered by a cover, the interactions between the articulation zone and an external body are limited.
the risks to see an object interact with the joint in such a way as to block or interfere with the joint, in particular by limiting its amplitude of rotation are significantly reduced.
the risks of jamming or pinching of a user's fingers, in particular when pivoting the grip handle relative to the vacuum cleaner tube are substantially reduced.
the presence of the aforementioned cover confers increased reliability and safety of use on the accessory according to the present invention.
the presence of the aforementioned cover gives the accessory according to the present invention an improved aesthetic appearance when the grip handle occupies the first handle position.
the accessory may also have one or more of the following characteristics, taken alone or in combination.
the cover position of the cover corresponds to a raised position of the cover
the release position corresponds to a lowered position of the cover.

the second handle position corresponds to a storage position of the gripping handle in which the main part of the handle is folded, for example at approximately 175°, along the suction tube or against the suction tube.
the specific configuration of the cover allows the gripping handle to be located as close as possible to the suction tube when the gripping handle occupies the storage position, and therefore to improve the compactness of the accessory when the gripping handle occupies the storage position.
the first handle position corresponds to an unfolded position of the grip handle in which the main handle portion extends substantially parallel to the suction tube.
the grip handle is configured to occupy a plurality of intermediate positions located between the first handle position and the second handle position and in each of which the main handle part is inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis of the suction tube.

the lock 23 and the unlocking member 28 are made in one piece, and can for example come from cast.
the locking mechanism 22 is configured such that a movement of the unlocking member 28 from the first position to the second position causes a movement of the lock 23 from the locking position to the release position, and in such a way that a displacement of the unlocking member 28 from the second position to the first position causes a displacement of the lock 23 from the release position to the locking position.
the locking mechanism 22 further includes a biasing element 29, such as a compression spring, configured to bias the unlocking member 28 into the first position.
a biasing element 29 such as a compression spring
the user When a user wishes to pivot the grip handle 11 into the storage position or into an intermediate position in which the main handle part 12 is inclined with respect to the suction tube 7, the user unlocks the grip handle 11 by displacing the unlocking member 28 into the second position against the return force exerted by the biasing element 29. Such a displacement of the unlocking member 28 causes a displacement of the lock 23 into the release position , and therefore a displacement of the two lateral locking members 25 out of the lateral locking housings 26. The user can then freely pivot the grip handle 11 relative to the suction tube 7 in such a way so that the main handle part 12 is inclined with respect to the suction tube 7 or is folded along the suction tube or against the suction tube 7.
each lateral locking member 25 advantageously comprises an actuation ramp.
Each actuating ramp is more particularly configured to cooperate with the respective lateral mounting arm 15, during a pivoting of the grip handle 11 towards the first handle position, so as to urge the lock 23 towards the release position, and thus allow movement of the handle 11 in the first handle position.
the figure 14 and 15 represent an accessory 6 according to an embodiment of the invention which differs from that represented on the figures 1 to 13 essentially in that the accessory 6 comprises an actuating member, for example flexible or flexible, arranged in the articulation zone 14 and comprising a first end portion fixed to an inner face of the cover 17 and a second portion of end configured to be gripped by the main part of the handle 12 during movement of the gripping handle 11 from the first handle position to the second handle position, and for example at the start of the second phase of movement of the cover.
the actuating member 31 is more particularly configured to move the cover 17 from the covering position to the releasing position when the grip handle 11 is moved from the first handle position to the second handle position.
the actuating member 31 can for example be a actuation tab.
the main handle part 12 could include a support member projecting from the outer surface 20 of the main handle part 12 and configured to cooperate with the edge end of the cover 17 which is located opposite the pivot axis B, the support member being configured to move the cover 17 from the covering position to the release position when the grip handle 11 is moved from the first neck position to the second neck position.
