Benefits of technology
"The invention is a protective sleeve for vacuum cleaner systems that can also be used on other cleaning systems. It is designed to prevent damage to furniture, baseboards, walls, or room dividers by softening blows against adjacent objects. The sleeve is made of elastic material that can be easily fitted to different cleaning systems and removed when needed. It has a surface with compressible dimples or other bosses that act as air bags to absorb the impact of blows."
Problems solved by technology
However, all have the same disadvantage that this collision protection is integrated in the housing of the cleaning device and not as a complete protection which surrounds the device.
Furthermore, all of these existing systems are installed in a fixed manner and cannot be replaced or removed by the user in order for example, to change the color or the mode or form of protection to a user-defined color or shape.
The danger of colliding with adjacent objects is therefore more likely with the suction head than with the body itself, because the body trails the hose and suction head and so does not move back and forth as does the suction head, i.e., it is not the active part of the device.
If one comes into the vicinity of furniture, walls or baseboards, there is a risk of damage to parts of the furniture, the baseboard, or wall through careless movement of the device during cleaning movements.
This is a significant disadvantage in industrial cleaning, as well as in private households, as cleaning must be done quickly, in most cases.

Embodiment Construction
[0012]The following description is of a preferred application of the abrasion protection sleeve for a vacuum cleaner. The protection may also apply to other cleaning equipment or utensils such as brooms, mops, etc. and should be not be considered limited to a vacuum cleaner.
[0013]Referring to FIG. 1, a vacuum cleaner is shown in exemplary form and represents one of the most used cleaning equipment forms having the purpose of removing impurities from a surface. Thus, such a commercial vacuum cleaner has a body 1, which contains the electronics, the pump for the vacuum, and any necessary filters and / or dust bags. The body 1 is moveable by virtue of rollers which are affixed to the underside of the device. On the body 1, a suction hose 14 is attached, which is in turn attached to a suction tube 16. The operator moves the body 1, mounted on wheels, in order to facilitate movement by pulling on the vacuum hose 14, while he or she cleans using the suction tube 16 through forward and backw...

An abrasion protection sleeve is provided for floor cleaning devices. This abrasion protection sleeve can be retroactively applied to different cleaning systems, used and later removed due to its being made of an elastic material. Resilient protrusions or material accumulations on the surface of the abrasion protection sleeve softens blows, thereby eliminating damage to furniture, base boards, moldings, furniture or room dividers.
