Abstract

Vacuum cleaner nozzle (1), in particular for removing hair from different surfaces, characterized in that the vacuum cleaner nozzle (1) has at least one replaceable cleaning element (2) which is detachably held in a receptacle (3) of the vacuum cleaner nozzle (1), wherein the cleaning element (2) is designed for the mechanical removal of hair from a surface and is arranged in such a way that removed hair is immediately sucked away through an opening (4) of the vacuum cleaner nozzle (1) adjacent to the receptacle.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle, in particular a vacuum cleaner attachment for removing hair, preferably animal hair, from different surfaces such as upholstery, vehicle seats, furniture fabrics and carpets. State of the art

[0002] Vacuum cleaner nozzles designed to collect dirt and hair are known from the prior art. Such vacuum cleaner nozzles often feature brushes, rubber lips, or permanently integrated friction surfaces.

[0003] However, these well-known solutions are usually only suitable for certain surfaces or are insufficient for removing deeply embedded hair. Furthermore, there is a risk of damaging sensitive surfaces.

[0004] A quick and tool-free change between different cleaning elements to adapt to different surfaces is usually not provided for or only possible to a limited extent with known vacuum cleaner nozzles. Object of the invention

[0005] The invention is based on the objective of providing a vacuum cleaner nozzle with which hair, in particular pet hair, can be efficiently removed from different surfaces, whereby the cleaning effect can be easily, quickly and without tools adapted to different surfaces. Solution to the task

[0006] This task is solved by a vacuum cleaner nozzle with the features of the main claim.

[0007] The vacuum cleaner nozzle according to the invention has at least one replaceable cleaning element which is detachably held in a receptacle provided for this purpose in the vacuum cleaner nozzle.

[0008] The cleaning element is designed for the mechanical removal of hair from a surface and is arranged in such a way that the removed hair can be immediately vacuumed up through an opening of the vacuum cleaner nozzle adjacent to the intake. Advantageous designs

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning element can be removed from the holder and reinserted without tools.

[0010] The cleaning element can be held in the receptacle by means of a retaining device. Various releasable fastening methods are possible as retaining devices, for example, magnetic retainers, snap-fit ​​devices, clamping devices, spring or clip connections, or combinations thereof.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, several different cleaning elements are provided which can be used interchangeably in the vacuum cleaner nozzle.

[0012] A first cleaning element can consist of an elastic material, especially silicone or a silicone-like material, and is suitable for the gentle cleaning of sensitive surfaces.

[0013] Another cleaning element may consist of a more abrasive material, in particular pumice or a pumice-like material, and is intended for the removal of stubborn, deeply embedded hairs. Further details

[0014] The vacuum cleaner nozzle can have a connection area that can be connected to vacuum cleaner tubes of different diameters using an adapter. Preferably, the connection area is designed for tube diameters of 32 mm and / or 35 mm.

[0015] The vacuum cleaner nozzle can have dimensions of approximately 140 × 95 × 40 mm. Example of implementation

[0016] In one embodiment, a receptacle for receiving a cleaning element is provided in the front region of the vacuum cleaner nozzle. At least one retaining element is arranged in the receptacle, which releasably secures the cleaning element.

[0017] When in use, the cleaning element rests on the surface to be cleaned and loosens hairs through mechanical friction, which are then sucked in through the adjacent opening of the vacuum cleaner nozzle.

[0018] The cleaning element is replaced by simply removing the used cleaning element from the holder and inserting an alternative cleaning element. Note on the interpretation of the invention

[0019] The described embodiments are merely preferred examples. The invention is not limited to the described materials, fastening methods, geometric designs, or arrangements.

[0020] Rather, it includes all embodiments that make use of the basic idea of ​​the invention, namely the provision of a vacuum cleaner nozzle with at least one replaceable cleaning element for the mechanical removal of hair with immediate suction.
