Vaccum Cleaner Device

Abstract

A vacuum cleaner device has a nozzle which, via a pivotal connection, is connectable to a lower end of a vacuum cleaner pipe which, at its upper end via a vacuum cleaner hose is connectable to a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner pipe has inner and outer parts which are longitudinally displaceable in relation to one another, and a joint whose pivot axis is parallel with the pivot axis of the connection. The joint of the vacuum cleaner pipe is disposed on the inner section and, for locking of the joint, is insertable in the outer section.

Description

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY[0001]The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner device which comprises a vacuum cleaner nozzle with a connection to one end of a vacuum cleaner pipe whose opposite end is connectable via a vacuum cleaner hose to a vacuum cleaner, the connection being pivotal and the vacuum cleaner pipe having inner and outer, mutually longitudinally displaceable parts and a joint with a hose.[0002]It is a known fact that, using a standard vacuum cleaner hose with a standard shaft, it is very difficult to get at and vacuum clean a distance in beneath low furniture. The most prevalent solution is that the vacuum cleaner pipe displays an angled connection to the vacuum cleaner nozzle and that this can be rotated so that the vacuum cleaner pipe can be laid parallel along the floor. When the vacuum cleaner pipe is parallel with the floor, the user of the vacuum cleaner must bend down to floor level in order to be able to steer the nozzle under furniture or the like, which is...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a vacuum cleaner device that allows for easier cleaning under low furniture and up on tall items of furniture. It includes a vacuum cleaner nozzle connected to a vacuum cleaner pipe through an elbow joint. The elbow joint allows the user to stand upright and still have full control over guiding the nozzle under a low item of furniture. The device also has a telescopic section that can be extended or retracted for normal or special purposes. The joint is disposed on the inner section and is insertable in the outer section for locking of the joint. Overall, the invention simplifies vacuum cleaning and makes it more convenient for users."

Problems solved by technology

It is a known fact that, using a standard vacuum cleaner hose with a standard shaft, it is very difficult to get at and vacuum clean a distance in beneath low furniture.

When the vacuum cleaner pipe is parallel with the floor, the user of the vacuum cleaner must bend down to floor level in order to be able to steer the nozzle under furniture or the like, which is extremely fatiguing among other things for the back.

If attempts are made to vacuum cleaner under an item of furniture as far as is possible without laying the vacuum cleaner pipe down, there is a very great risk of damaging the lower edge of the furniture when the upright vacuum cleaner pipe strikes the edge of the furniture.

To vacuum cleaner up on the top level of a tall item of furniture from floor level using existing constructions of vacuum cleaner pipes is totally impossible.

The drawback inherent in this design and construction is that both pipe sections of the vacuum cleaner pipe are fixed in length and are not per se telescopic in relation to one another, since their pipe dimension or diameter is the same.
