[0003] Vacuum cleaner with a suction hose storage compartment

[0004] The invention relates to a vacuum device with a vacuum housing in which a dust collection chamber for collecting dust and a suction unit for generating a suction flow are arranged, wherein the vacuum device has a suction inlet through which the suction flow can enter the dust collection chamber, wherein the vacuum housing has a storage chamber accessible from an outside of the vacuum housing through a storage chamber insertion opening for storing a suction hose that can be connected to or is connected to the suction inlet, wherein the storage chamber has a floor and a circumferential holding device projecting from the floor, in particular a circumferential wall extending away from the floor, which delimits the storage chamber, so that when the suction hose is wound up into a hose coil, it can be arranged in the storage chamber supported laterally by the circumferential holding device.

[0005] Such a vacuuming device, for example as described in DE 102009 015 642 A1, can be used as a workshop vacuum, construction site vacuum, or similar. The storage compartment is suitable, for example, for storing and transporting a suction hose, a power cord, or similar items. A suction hose is often bulky, so that it protrudes upwards in front of the storage compartment, which is a hindrance, for example, when carrying or transporting the vacuuming device.

[0006] Based on this, the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved suction device.

[0007] P 31384 / PCT

[0008] August 22, 2025 To solve the problem, a suction device of the type mentioned above is provided that the storage compartment has a hose winding passage arrangement with at least one hose winding passage opening arranged next to the storage compartment insertion opening, wherein the hose winding passage opening has, on a side facing away from the bottom of the storage compartment, an insertion opening for inserting the suction hose into the hose winding passage opening and a bottom area opposite the insertion opening, wherein the hose winding passage arrangement is designed to receive hose sections of at least one turn of the suction hose, so that the turn of the suction hose can protrude from the storage compartment in front of the suction device housing when the suction hose is arranged wholly or partially in the storage compartment.

[0009] A key principle is that the suction hose can not only be stored inside the storage compartment, but can also protrude from it with one or more coils. The hose winding mechanism therefore provides one or more openings that allow one or more coils of the suction hose to extend outwards from the storage compartment and onto the exterior of the vacuum cleaner or its housing.

[0010] The suction hose preferably forms part of the suction device and / or the suction device and the suction hose together form a system.

[0011] Advantageously, the hose winding passage arrangement is designed to accommodate at least two turns of the suction hose in such a way that, when the suction hose is wholly or partially located in the storage space or the suction housing, a section of each of the at least two turns of the suction hose can protrude through the hose winding passage arrangement.

[0012] P 31384 / PCT

[0013] August 22, 2025 In principle, it is also possible for the suction device to have at least two suction hoses, which may be wholly or partially contained within the storage compartment, with at least one suction hose having one or more coiled sections that protrude from the storage compartment and pass through the hose winding mechanism, extending in front of the suction device housing. It is possible for the storage compartment to be designed such that one suction hose is completely contained within it, while another suction hose with one or more coils protrudes from the storage compartment and passes through the hose winding mechanism, provided that this second suction hose is wholly or partially contained within the storage compartment.It is also possible for the storage space and the hose winding passage arrangement to be designed in such a way that two or more suction hoses of the suction device, each with at least one turn, protrude through the hose winding passage arrangement in front of the storage space, if the respective suction hose is located wholly or partially in the storage space.

[0014] At least one coil of the suction hose protrudes, for example, with a coil section extending in front of the suction unit housing. Between the hose sections of the at least one coil of the suction hose that are accommodated in the hose winding passage arrangement, the suction hose extends with a coil section extending in front of the suction unit housing.

[0015] The coiled section of the suction hose projecting in front of the suction housing advantageously has a closed course.

[0016] The suction hose winding passage arrangement advantageously allows at least one coil of the suction hose to be partially contained within the storage space and partially protrude through the hose winding passage arrangement in front of the suction device housing. For example, an annular and / or arc-shaped coiled section of the suction hose can protrude through the hose winding passage arrangement from the storage space outwards in front of the suction device housing.

[0017] P 31384 / PCT

[0018] On August 22, 2025, it is possible that this coiled section protrudes from the suction housing through a single hose reel opening, meaning that both hose sections of this coiled section or coil are arranged within a single hose reel opening. For example, the suction hose runs out of the storage space, passing through one hose reel opening, and into the storage space, passing through the same hose reel opening. However, it is also possible that the hose sections of the coiled section or coil protruding from the suction housing are received in and / or pass through two separate hose reel openings of the hose reel opening.

[0019] Preferably, the suction hose and / or the suction inlet has a substantially circular inner circumferential contour and / or outer circumferential contour.

[0020] The diameter or flow cross-section of the suction hose corresponds, for example, approximately to the diameter or flow cross-section of the suction inlet. The suction hose has, for example, a diameter or flow cross-section that is the same as the diameter or flow cross-section of the suction inlet. It is also possible that the suction hose has a diameter or flow cross-section that is, for example, a maximum of 20%, preferably a maximum of 10%, or even more preferably a maximum of 5% larger or smaller than that of the suction inlet.

[0021] The storage compartment insertion opening is located, for example, on the top of the vacuum unit, allowing the suction hose to be inserted into the storage compartment from above through the opening. A bottom of the vacuum unit is provided for placement on a surface. The top and bottom are located on opposite sides of the vacuum unit. The at least one hose winding opening, on the other hand, is located, for example, on a long side, short side, front, back, or similar side of the vacuum unit. The storage compartment opening is located on the top of the vacuum unit.

[0022] P 31384 / PCT

[0023] August 22, 2025 The storage room insertion opening preferably forms a kind of interruption of the perimeter holding device or is designed or constructed as a breakthrough in the perimeter holding device, for example the perimeter wall.

[0024] The hose reel opening can be filled through the storage compartment insertion opening, for example from above or from the top of the suction housing. The storage compartment insertion opening, advantageously an open side of the storage compartment located opposite or above the bottom of the storage compartment, and the insertion opening are arranged on the same side, so that the suction hose can be wound into the storage compartment or inserted as a fully or partially wound hose reel, with one or more turns of the hose reel passing through the at least one hose reel insertion opening.

[0025] Unlike the hose winding opening, the storage compartment insertion opening is designed to allow at least one coil of the suction hose to be wound through the storage compartment insertion opening and into the storage compartment. It is possible for each coil to be fully inserted into the storage compartment through the insertion opening, so that it does not protrude from the storage compartment, or to be partially inserted, so that part of the coil is inside the storage compartment and another part protrudes from the storage compartment through the at least one hose winding opening.The at least one hose winding passage opening, on the other hand, is preferably exclusively suitable and / or intended to accommodate only an incomplete turn of the suction hose and / or, with respect to its transverse width, which extends in particular perpendicularly to a distance between its base area and its insertion opening, to accommodate a maximum of 2 mutually parallel hose sections of a respective turn of the suction hose.

[0026] P 31384 / PCT

[0027] August 22, 2025. Preferably, the hose reel passage opening and the storage chamber insertion opening communicate with or are connected to each other in such a way that a hose section of the suction hose coil, which is to be inserted into the hose reel passage opening, can be inserted from the storage chamber insertion opening into the insertion opening. For example, the hose reel passage opening can be designed in the form of a slot, a receiving recess, or the like, extending away from the storage chamber insertion opening. Thus, for example, one or more hose sections can be inserted from the storage chamber insertion opening into the at least one hose reel passage opening or the insertion opening.It is advantageous if each coil of the hose, which has hose sections that are to be inserted into the at least one hose winding passage opening, can be inserted simultaneously into the storage room insertion opening and the at least one hose winding passage opening or the insertion opening.

[0028] Preferably, the insertion opening is designed as a plug-in receptacle extending from the storage chamber insertion opening. A plug-in direction, in which the suction hose can be inserted through the storage chamber insertion opening, and a plug-in direction, in which the suction hose can be inserted into the hose winding passage opening, are preferably parallel to each other or inclined at an angle of less than 15° to each other.

[0029] The at least one hose winding opening has, for example, a stub axis or longitudinal axis along which a hose section that can be inserted or is to be inserted into the hose winding opening is parallel or inclined at an angle of a maximum of 30° to a longitudinal axis or stub axis of the storage room insertion opening of the storage room, along which the suction hose, in particular as a whole, can be inserted into the storage room.

[0030] P 31384 / PCT

[0031] August 22, 2025. The cross-sectional area of ​​the storage chamber's insertion opening is preferably larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the hose reel's insertion opening or of two hose reel insertion openings combined, and in particular of all hose reel insertion openings combined. For example, the insertion cross-sectional area of ​​the storage chamber's insertion opening is at least twice as large, preferably at least three times as large or four times as large, as the cross-sectional area of ​​the hose reel's insertion opening.

[0032] The hose winding passage arrangement is preferably arranged and designed such that the respective hose section, which is received in the at least one hose winding passage opening, can protrude outwards from the storage space along its longitudinal extent through the hose winding passage opening.

[0033] The perimeter holding device can, for example, be designed as a wall, in particular as a perimeter wall.

[0034] The circumferential holding device is advantageously formed by a single, one-piece circumferential wall. However, the circumferential wall can also have at least two wall segments or sections.

[0035] However, it is also possible for the perimeter support device to include one or more columns, wall sections, or the like. Therefore, the perimeter support device does not necessarily have to surround the storage space like a solid wall, but can also include individual perimeter support elements, such as columns and / or wall sections, or the like, as explained above.

[0036] The coiled suction hose may protrude from the storage area with one or more coils during transport of the vacuum cleaner, for example towards the front or back of the vacuum cleaner or vacuum cleaner housing.

[0037] P 31384 / PCT

[0038] August 22, 2025, so that these twists do not interfere, for example, when carrying the suction device.

[0039] It is particularly advantageous if the suction device has a projection, especially a winding dome, and / or a carrying handle or grip, which is located in a central area of ​​the storage space or projects centrally into the storage space and / or extends from or beyond the floor of the storage space. When the suction hose is wound around the projection, winding dome, and / or carrying handle or grip, an operator can grasp the suction device by the grip and, in effect, reach inside the coiled suction hose. The winding dome or projection may, for example, have a circumferential wall around which the suction hose can be wound, as well as a carrying handle or grip attached to the projection or winding dome.For example, the carrying handle or grip may protrude from the projection or winding dome, or be located at an end of the projection or winding dome facing away from the floor of the storage compartment. It is also possible for a carrying handle or grip to be long enough to project from the floor of the storage compartment, allowing the suction hose to be wound around it.

[0040] Advantageously, the at least one hose-winding opening between the base and its insertion opening has a maximum filling height suitable for filling the suction hose, which is hereinafter referred to simply as the filling height. The filling height corresponds at least to the diameter of the suction hose or the hose section of the suction hose that can be or must be arranged in the hose-winding opening. The filling height is advantageously at least 25 mm, preferably at least 30 mm, and even more preferably at least 35 mm. The height of the hose-winding opening advantageously corresponds to its maximum filling height.

[0041] The filling height of the opening through which at least one hose reel passes can also be larger or higher, so that, for example, it is at least equal to the diameter of at least two hose reels placed one above the other or diagonally next to each other.

[0042] P 31384 / PCT

[0043] August 22, 2025, corresponds to layered hose sections of the suction hose, in particular forming components of two coils of the suction hose. For example, the filling height has a height of at least 40 mm, more preferably at least 50 mm.

[0044] It is advantageous if further layers or turns of the suction hose can be arranged in the at least one hose winding opening, for example three turns or four turns or three layers or four layers of the suction hose.

[0045] The at least one hose-winding opening advantageously has a transverse width that extends, in particular, perpendicularly to a distance between its base and its insertion opening and / or parallel to the floor or a lowest level of the floor of the storage space. The transverse width is thus oriented, so to speak, perpendicular to the fill height. The transverse width is advantageously such that at least the diameter of the suction hose fits within it. Therefore, the transverse width corresponds at least to the diameter of the suction hose. For example, the transverse width is at least 25 mm, preferably at least 30 mm, and even more preferably at least 35 mm.

[0046] The transverse width of the at least one hose winding opening can also be larger. For example, it is at least 40%, preferably at least 50%, and even more preferably at least 60% or 70% of the distance between the side walls of a body of the vacuum cleaner housing, which contains the dust collection chamber. For example, the side walls are flush with the circumferential holding device or the circumferential wall of the storage chamber.

[0047] The transverse width of the at least one hose-winding passage opening is defined and / or limited, for example, by side legs of the at least one hose-winding passage opening or side surfaces of the at least one hose-winding passage opening, which extend from the bottom area towards the insertion opening.

[0048] P 31384 / PCT

[0049] August 22, 2025. The side surfaces can run parallel or approximately parallel to each other from the base of the at least one hose-winding opening to its insertion opening. However, it is also possible for the side surfaces to run obliquely and / or arcuately from the insertion opening to the base. The side surfaces can also have sections that run parallel to each other and sections that run obliquely or arcuately towards each other, in particular arcuate or oblique sections that run towards each other in the direction of the base. Thus, the at least one hose-winding opening can, for example, have a trapezoidal, U-shaped, or V-shaped passage contour or a trapezoidal, U-shaped, or V-shaped passage cross-section.

[0050] The at least one hose winding opening can also have a trough-shaped form.

[0051] It is possible that the hose winding passage arrangement has only a single hose winding passage opening. This opening advantageously has a transverse width such that at least two hose sections fit side by side into the hose winding passage opening, with the two hose sections belonging to the same coil of the suction hose.

[0052] Advantageously, two or more hose winding openings can also be provided, whereby the hose winding openings can be arranged on the same side of the vacuum cleaner housing. However, the hose winding openings can also be arranged on opposite sides of the vacuum cleaner housing, on sides of the vacuum cleaner housing at an angle to each other, or the like.

[0053] It is advantageous if the hose sections of one coil of the suction hose can protrude from the storage compartment to the outside of the vacuum cleaner housing through each of the at least two hose winding openings. The hose sections of the same coil can thus be positioned, for example, side by side and / or one on top of the other in the respective hose winding.

[0054] P 31384 / PCT

[0055] The wrapping opening is located on August 22, 2025. Preferably, the at least two wrapping openings have the same cross-sectional areas and / or inner circumference contours and / or the same filling height and / or the same transverse widths.

[0056] If, for example, the transverse width and / or the filling height of the at least one hose winding opening or the two aforementioned hose winding openings is or are dimensioned such that two hose sections of the same coil fit through each of the hose winding openings, for example if the transverse width and / or the filling height corresponds to at least twice the diameter of the suction hose or is at least 50 mm, preferably at least 60 mm, or even more preferably at least 70 mm, it is possible that one coil of the suction hose can protrude from the storage space to the outside of the vacuum cleaner housing through the at least one hose winding opening or the respective hose winding opening.The cross-sectional width and the filling height can also be combined or jointly to provide a passage cross-section in which two hose sections can be accommodated in the hose winding passage opening, for example lying diagonally on top of each other.

[0057] The hose winding openings can also be narrow openings through which, for example, only one diameter of the suction hose can fit.

[0058] For example, the hose winding openings on the vacuum cleaner housing are arranged such that one hose section of at least one coil of the suction hose can be arranged in one hose winding opening and the other hose section in the other hose winding opening, so that the coil of the suction hose is led from the storage space through one hose winding opening to an outside of the vacuum cleaner housing and through the other hose winding opening from the outside of the vacuum cleaner housing into the storage space.

[0059] P 31384 / PCT

[0060] August 22, 2025. Therefore, the hose reel is positioned in front of the vacuum cleaner housing and is guided into the storage compartment through the two hose reel openings.

[0061] The base of the at least one hose winding opening is advantageously spaced from the base of the storage compartment. This allows at least one coil of the suction hose to lie on the base of the storage compartment, advantageously supported by a portion of the circumferential holding device, particularly the circumferential wall, while another coil of the suction hose projects through the at least one hose winding opening to the outside of the suction unit housing. The two coils may, for example, rest on top of each other, particularly in or near the hose winding opening and / or within the storage compartment, or they may form layers of the suction hose.

[0062] In the storage compartment, for example in its center or near its center, a projection extending from the bottom of the storage compartment is advantageously provided or arranged. This projection serves, for example, as a winding aid. The suction hose can be wound around the projection. The projection can, for example, be designed as a dome extending from the bottom towards the top of the suction device housing. A turn of the suction hose wound around the winding aid or the projection can extend through the at least one hose winding opening in front of the storage compartment. Thus, the suction hose can be wound around the projection or the winding aid and extend with one or more turns into the storage compartment.

[0063] The at least one hose winding opening is advantageously located opposite the projection. For example, no section of the circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, of the storage space is provided in the area of ​​the hose winding opening.

[0064] P 31384 / PCT

[0065] August 22, 2025. Advantageously, at least one section of the storage compartment floor extends between the projection and the at least one hose winding opening. Therefore, a section of the suction hose, for example, can be placed on this section of the floor.

[0066] The circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, advantageously has a section that extends between the floor and the hose reel opening. For example, a low section of the circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, or a section of the circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, projecting slightly from the floor, is arranged in the area of ​​the hose reel opening. This section of the circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, forms, for example, a retaining edge for laterally supporting a section of the hose reel arranged on the floor of the storage space in the area of ​​the hose reel opening.

[0067] To hold the suction hose in the storage space, it is advantageous if at least one retaining contour and / or retaining element or several retaining contours and / or retaining elements are provided, which are opposite the floor of the storage space, so that the suction hose is held with one or more turns, for example in a sandwich-like manner, between the respective retaining contour and the floor of the storage space.

[0068] The suction hose can be inserted between the hold-down element and / or the hold-down contour and the floor of the storage space. The hold-down device or the at least one hold-down element holds the suction hose down, so to speak, in the direction of the floor of the storage space.

[0069] The hold-down contour can be a hold-down contour fixed to the storage space, for example, to the circumferential holding device. Preferably, the at least one hold-down contour is designed to form a holding-

[0070] P 31384 / PCT

[0071] August 22, 2025 teschenkel, which projects in front of, encompasses or is formed by a base leg of the hold-down device that extends from the floor of the storage room.

[0072] It may be provided that, for example, at least one retaining projection protrudes into the storage room insertion opening or in the direction of the storage room insertion opening in front of the circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, and forms a hold-down element and / or a hold-down contour.

[0073] It is also possible that at least one holding contour is movably mounted on the suction device, for example by means of a swivel bearing, sliding bearing or the like.

[0074] In combination with a fixed retaining contour for the storage space, or even on its own, it can be advantageous to provide a lid with which the storage space, and in particular its insertion opening, can be completely or partially closed. This lid can serve as a retaining device or have retaining contours, especially if the lid closes into the insertion opening or the storage space itself. Such a measure is explained in more detail below.

[0075] It is understood that a combination of a fixed retaining contour relative to the storage space and a movable retaining contour relative to the storage space, for example a lid with a retaining contour, is possible, so that the suction hose, for example, can first be held by the at least one fixed retaining contour relative to the storage space when inserted into the storage space, wherein the lid then provides one or more further retaining contours for holding the suction hose in the storage space when it closes or at least partially covers the storage space. However, the

[0076] P 31384 / PCT

[0077] August 22, 2025 Suction hose through which at least one hose winding opening protrudes in front of the storage room.

[0078] The holding device can also act or be designed to clamp the suction hose in the storage space.

[0079] The suction device advantageously has a lid that is adjustable between a covered position, in which the lid completely or at least partially closes or covers the storage space, and an open position, for example, by pivoting it, in which the storage space is accessible, particularly from above. For example, in the open position, the suction hose can be inserted into or removed from the storage space, particularly from above. The lid is preferably movably hinged to the suction device housing between the covered and open positions by means of a pivot bearing or a pivot-sliding bearing. The pivot bearing can comprise at least two pivot bearing assemblies arranged at a distance from each other, each with bearing elements pivotably mounted against one another.

[0080] The insertion opening of the at least one hose reel passage is advantageously closed or covered by the lid when the lid is in its covering position. Thus, the suction hose is held by the lid both in the storage space and in the hose reel passage opening.

[0081] The cover may have a recess opposite at least one hose reel opening. When the cover is in the closed position, the recess and the hose reel opening are opposite each other. The recess and the hose reel opening define a cross-sectional area in which the suction hose can be positioned. For example, the cross-sectional area for the suction hose in the area of ​​the hose reel opening can be enlarged by the recess. Overall, a larger cross-sectional area results from the combination of

[0082] P 31384 / PCT

[0083] August 22, 2025 Recess and at least one hose reel passage opening, rather than the hose reel passage opening alone.

[0084] The suction hose retaining device, in particular the circumferential wall, serves, as explained, to provide lateral support for the suction hose within the storage compartment. The circumferential retaining device, in particular the circumferential wall, may have one or more storage openings, for example, recesses. The at least one storage opening is preferably not intended or designed for the suction hose and / or is intended and designed to accommodate a single power cord or a coiled power cord, which can be attached to the vacuum cleaner housing and may protrude at least partially into the storage compartment.

[0085] The at least one storage opening and the at least one hose winding opening can be arranged, for example, on sections of the circumferential holding device, particularly the circumferential wall, that are parallel to and / or opposite each other, in particular wall sections. For example, the at least one hose winding opening can be arranged on a front section, in particular a wall section, and the at least one storage opening on a rear section, in particular a wall section, of the circumferential wall.

[0086] Advantageously, all hose winding openings are arranged on a first wall section of the circumferential wall, and all storage openings are arranged on a second section of the circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, which differs from the first section, in particular the wall section, and / or is arranged at a distance from the first section. Preferably, these sections of the circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, are opposite each other.

[0087] It is also possible that at least one hose reel passage opening or all hose reel passage openings and at least one storage-

[0088] P 31384 / PCT

[0089] 22 August 2025 rung passage opening or all storage passage openings on the same wall section, for example a front or rear section or wall section, the perimeter holding device or the perimeter wall are arranged.

[0090] At least one storage opening can be coaxial or aligned with at least one hose winding opening, in particular coaxial or parallel to a longitudinal axis of the suction device running between the front and rear end faces of the suction device.

[0091] Furthermore, it is possible that the storage opening extends away from the at least one hose reel opening, for example, from its base. A recess can be arranged at the base of the hose reel opening, forming the storage opening. The aforementioned power cord can be accommodated or stored in this recess. Thus, both the power cord and then the suction hose can be inserted into the hose reel opening, with the power cord then located in the storage opening and the suction hose in the hose reel opening.

[0092] The cross-sectional area of ​​the at least one storage opening is preferably smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the suction hose.

[0093] Advantageously, the at least one hose winding opening has a cross-sectional area at least twice as large as the at least one storage opening, which is not intended to accommodate a section of the suction hose.

[0094] The circumferential holding device is preferably designed to circumferentially limit the storage space on at least two mutually angled and / or opposite sides, so that the suction hose is positioned between mutually opposite or mutually angled sides.

[0095] P 31384 / PCT

[0096] August 22, 2025, can be arranged with circumferential holding elements of the circumferential holding device that protrude from the floor of the storage room.

[0097] The circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall, is advantageously U-shaped and / or has circumferential holding elements arranged in a U-shape. For example, the circumferential holding device or the circumferential wall has a base leg, in particular a base wall, and side legs projecting laterally from the base leg, for example, longitudinal side legs or longitudinal side walls. The at least one hose winding opening is advantageously arranged between the side legs of the circumferential holding device, in particular the circumferential wall. The at least one hose winding opening is advantageously located opposite the base wall or the base leg. It is advantageous if the hose winding opening extends across the entire transverse width between the side legs of the circumferential holding device or circumferential wall, so that a correspondingly wide coiled section of the suction hose can be arranged in the hose winding opening.

[0098] Perimeter holding elements of the perimeter holding device that are at an angle to each other can be directly connected or spaced apart. For example, a gap can be provided in an angular or transitional area between perimeter holding elements, so that the perimeter holding elements are arranged next to each other, but not directly adjacent.

[0099] It is possible that the circumferential holding device or the circumferential wall comprises only a pair of opposing side sections or side wall sections, with a hose winding opening formed at a distance between each of the side sections or side walls. Thus, the suction hose can, for example, protrude from the storage compartment into the outside area around the vacuum cleaner or the vacuum cleaner housing on opposite sides of the vacuum cleaner housing.

[0100] P 31384 / PCT

[0101] August 22, 2025. The suction inlet is advantageously arranged on a part of the vacuum cleaner housing or a housing component of the vacuum cleaner housing where the storage compartment for the suction hose is also located. This allows the suction hose attached to the suction inlet to be guided into the storage compartment and stowed there. For example, the housing component is an upper housing part that is or can be arranged on a lower housing part of the vacuum cleaner housing.

[0102] Preferably, the suction inlet is arranged outside the storage space or on an outside of the suction device housing.

[0103] Advantageously, the suction inlet is arranged frontally in front of and / or beside and / or below the at least one hose reel opening or at least one hose reel opening of the hose reel assembly, and the suction hose, if a longitudinal end of the suction hose is connected to the suction inlet, can be arranged in the storage space passing through the at least one hose reel opening. Advantageously, the suction inlet is arranged on a wall that has at least one control element for operating the vacuum cleaner and / or a socket for connecting an electrical appliance to the vacuum cleaner and / or extends obliquely to the at least one hose reel opening and is located next to the hose reel opening.The suction hose can therefore be connected to the suction inlet at one longitudinal end, while at the same time being arranged in the storage space passing through the at least one hose winding opening, such that at least one winding, preferably all windings or several windings, is or are partially arranged in the storage space and partially protrudes or protrudes in front of the storage space.

[0104] An advantageous arrangement of the suction inlet in front of the at least one hose winding passage opening is such that at least one winding of the suction hose arranged in the at least one hose winding passage opening and projecting in front of the storage space surrounds the suction inlet.

[0105] P 31384 / PCT

[0106] around August 22, 2025, and / or extends above the suction inlet so that the suction inlet is accessible. Therefore, the suction hose can be connected to the suction inlet if it is wound up in the storage space and the hose reel has at least one opening through which it passes into the hose reel.

[0107] Advantageously, the suction inlet and the at least one hose winding passage opening, preferably all hose winding passage openings, are arranged on the same side of the vacuum cleaner housing, for example on a front of the vacuum cleaner housing.

[0108] It is possible that the at least one hose winding opening extends over an edge or corner area of ​​the vacuum cleaner housing. Thus, the at least one hose winding opening can, for example, be located at an angled area or section of the storage space and extend across that angled section or area. For instance, the at least one hose winding opening is located or formed between mutually angled wall sections of the circumferential support device or circumferential wall.

[0109] However, it is preferred if the at least one hose winding opening is arranged along a side or side wall of the suction housing extending between a top and bottom, in particular on a narrow side wall or narrower side wall.

[0110] The storage compartment is preferably arranged on the top side of the vacuum cleaner housing, with the top side and a bottom side of the vacuum cleaner housing (for placing the vacuum cleaner on a surface) being located on opposite sides of the housing. This allows the suction hose to be inserted from above into the storage compartment and the passageway with its at least one hose reel opening, either when the vacuum cleaner is in its operating position or when its bottom is resting on the surface.

[0111] P 31384 / PCT

[0112] August 22, 2025. Advantageously, at least one hose winding opening can be designed in the form of an insertion slot, wherein the transverse width of the hose winding opening corresponds, for example, approximately to the diameter of the suction hose, and wherein the height of the slot, i.e., its distance between the base and its insertion opening or its filling height, is advantageously at least twice its transverse width, so that, for example, two or more layers of the suction hose winding can be inserted into the slot or the at least one hose winding opening. In particular, a pair of hose winding openings arranged side by side in this way is provided in the hose winding arrangement, so that the hose can be inserted into the slots or the two hose winding openings with two or more turns.

[0113] A self-contained invention exists if the vacuum cleaner has a device connector for a cable connector of a power cord, wherein the connectors can be detachably fastened to one another, wherein the device connector is arranged in the storage compartment and / or includes a component of an IEC connector. The connectors have, for example, electrical contacts for transmitting electrical power. For example, the device connector is designed as an IEC plug or socket to which the cable connector, in the form of an IEC socket or IEC plug of the power cord, fits. The power cord serves to supply electrical power to the vacuum cleaner and optionally to a device that can be connected to the vacuum cleaner, for example, a machine tool. The power cord can be connected, for example, to an electrical supply network with 120 V to 240 V AC.

[0114] The storage compartment may have the hose reel passage arrangement as described above, but this is not mandatory. It is nevertheless advantageous if the suction device has at least one hose reel passage opening through which the suction hose can be led from the storage compartment to the outside, i.e., one suitable for receiving at least one section of the suction hose. However, this

[0115] P 31384 / PCT

[0116] August 22, 2025 The passage opening must not have such a cross-section that a coil section of a coil can be accommodated in the passage opening, i.e., that the suction hose can pass out of the receiving space and back into it through the hose coil passage arrangement.

[0117] It is advantageous if the device connector for the power cable is located, for example, on a dome or winding aid that protrudes into the storage space.

[0118] It is particularly advantageous if the device connector is arranged on or in a recess of a wall surface, wherein the recess is provided and designed to receive the cable connector, and wherein the cable connector of the power cable is advantageously not protruding from the wall surface when it is connected to the device connector.

[0119] It is particularly preferred if the insertion axis of the device connector runs essentially vertically in the operating position of the vacuum cleaner. It is advantageous if the cable connector can be inserted into the device connector in a single insertion motion from bottom to top. It is also advantageous if an end face of the device connector, towards which the cable connector is inserted, is oriented towards the underside of the vacuum cleaner.

[0120] It is further advantageous if the vacuum cleaner and / or the electrical appliance connector for the power cord is equipped with locking devices, for example, with at least one locking screw or retaining screw and / or clamping devices or the like, to secure the cable connector of the electrical power cord in a mechanically and electrically connected state with the appliance connector, whereby the locking devices then assume a locked position. It is advantageous if the locking devices can only be operated from the locked position to a release position, in which the cable connector can be removed from the appliance connector, using a tool, for example, a screwdriver. Thus,

[0121] P 31384 / PCT

[0122] August 22, 2025 ensures that the connectors cannot be unintentionally disconnected from each other.

[0123] An advantageous design provides that the power cord is routed, for example, along the floor of the storage compartment towards the storage opening. Preferably, one or more holders are provided on the storage compartment for securing the power cord, in particular arranged one behind the other and at intervals along its path; these holders could be, for example, cable clips, cable clamps, or the like.

[0124] Advantageously, a hook with a hook receptacle for transporting an object, in particular an electrical power cable, to the suction device is provided on the suction device housing.

[0125] Advantageously, the lid is designed so that in the open position it releases the hook receptacle for hanging the object, and in the covered position it closes the hook receptacle to securely hold the object.

[0126] Alternatively, it is possible that the hook or hook receptacle remains freely accessible and / or cannot be closed by a cover or lid.

[0127] It may also be advantageous to provide that the lid has a handle opening for a handle firmly connected to the vacuum cleaner housing for carrying the vacuum cleaner, wherein the handle can be grasped by an operator, in particular through the handle opening, when the lid is in the covered position.

[0128] The storage compartment has an open side or lid opening that is accessible when the lid is open and at least partially covered by the lid when it is closed.

[0129] The storage space is advantageously designed for storing a suction hose.

[0130] P 31384 / PCT

[0131] August 22, 2025 The invention therefore relates to several aspects, each of which is taken into account when the lid is in the covering position.

[0132] For example, a hook used to carry an item, such as an electrical power cord, is closed by the lid in the covered position. To remove the cord or other item from the hook, simply open the lid. Operation is particularly easy because the lid also allows convenient access to items stored inside, such as the vacuum hose. Therefore, to use the vacuum cleaner, simply open the lid to remove the hose from storage and the power cord from the hook.

[0133] The power cord can be part of the vacuum cleaner.

[0134] In this context, it is advantageous, but not necessary, for the storage compartment to be designed, for example, to accommodate the suction hose of the vacuum cleaner or the vacuum cleaner itself, while the hook holder can accommodate a smaller and / or more compact item, such as the power cord. The storage volume of the hook holder is, for example, smaller than the storage volume of the storage compartment.

[0135] The storage space is therefore preferably suitable for accommodating a suction hose. Advantageously, the suction hose can be stored in a coiled state within the storage space.

[0136] Another aspect is that, in the closed position, the lid, through its handle opening, allows the operator to grasp a handle permanently attached to the vacuum cleaner housing for carrying the unit. For example, the operator can grasp the handle through the handle opening. An important aspect here is that the handle is connected to the vacuum cleaner housing itself, for example, to a wall of the housing.

[0137] P 31384 / PCT

[0138] August 22, 2025, confirms that it possesses high mechanical strength. Even a heavy vacuum cleaner can be carried in this way. Hinges, pivot bearings, or similar components of the lid are not subjected to any stress. It is standard practice for a handle on the top of a vacuum cleaner to be located directly on the lid, so components connecting the lid to the vacuum cleaner housing, such as pivot bearings, latches, or the like, must be designed to withstand the corresponding load. A further advantage is that the vacuum cleaner can be gripped by the handle even when the lid is open or in the open position. The handle is therefore always available, whether the lid is closed or open.

[0139] The vacuum cleaner advantageously has at least one filter arrangement for filtering dust from the suction stream. The filter arrangement can comprise several filters, e.g., a plate filter or main filter. A filter bag for collecting dust is advantageously arranged or can be arranged in the dust collection chamber.

[0140] The hook receptacle is advantageously designed as a receiving recess or depression bounded by side sections. For example, the side sections are designed as lateral legs that project from a base of the hook receptacle or extend towards each other, thus defining, for example, a V-shaped hook receptacle. Preferably, however, the base is designed as a rounded section, the rounding extending transversely to a longitudinal dimension of the hook receptacle, along which the hook receptacle extends transversely to the side sections. The hook receptacle is open laterally and / or at its longitudinal end regions. The longitudinal axis extends between the longitudinal end regions of the hook receptacle.

[0141] The lid preferably has at least one locking section that, when the lid is closed, is directly opposite a side section of the hook receptacle that laterally limits the hook receptacle to the outside of the suction cup housing. The hook receptacle can also be open towards the storage area when the lid is closed, allowing, for example, a hook-

[0142] P 31384 / PCT

[0143] August 22, 2025. The hanging cable can enter the storage compartment, but cannot escape from the hook holder and away from the vacuum cleaner. The locking mechanism of the lid securely holds the cable or other object in the hook holder when the lid is closed. Preferably, there is no gap between the locking mechanism and the side panel when the lid is closed, or the gap is a maximum of 4 mm, more preferably a maximum of 3 mm, more preferably a maximum of 2 mm, and more preferably a maximum of 1 mm.

[0144] The lid preferably has closing sections which, when the lid is closed, lie directly opposite each other and laterally delimiting the hook receptacle. These closing sections, in particular, abut the side sections, especially opposing end faces or narrow sides, thereby delimiting and / or enclosing an annular passage. For example, the closing sections may be formed by narrow sides or end faces of the lid walls. The side sections of the hook receptacle may be designed, for example, as side legs of the hook receptacle, at the free end regions of which the closing sections of the lid, when the lid is closed, abut or lie directly opposite them. It is possible that a narrow gap remains between the closing sections and the side sections when the lid is closed.However, the gap is advantageously so narrow that its cross-sectional area is smaller than the outer circumference of a power cable, where the power cable has, for example, a minimum diameter of 2 mm or 3 mm.

[0145] The lid preferably has at least one recess, e.g., arranged on its outer circumference, into which a portion of the hook, for example a side portion or a side leg, engages when the lid is in the covered position. For example, the portion of the hook projects in front of a side wall that delimits the storage space.

[0146] P 31384 / PCT

[0147] August 22, 2025. The hook, or at least the hook receptacle, is preferably formed by a shell-like or trough-shaped portion of a housing wall of the suction cup housing. However, it is also possible that at least part of the hook, for example a hook leg or a hook including base and leg, is held to the suction cup housing by means of connecting elements.

[0148] The hook is preferably formed by a thin-walled shell or half-shell, or has such a shell or half-shell.

[0149] Advantageously, the suction device has at least one receiving recess arranged next to the hook, in particular a longitudinal end area of ​​the hook receptacle, for receiving a part of an object hanging on the hook that projects in front of the hook receptacle, e.g. a power cable.

[0150] The receiving recess located next to the hook receptacle, for example, has a longitudinal extension that runs transversely to the longitudinal extension of the hook receptacle between its longitudinal end regions. Thus, the power cable can, for example, run along the longitudinal extension of the hook receptacle within it and then be received transversely to this longitudinal extension in the receiving recess.

[0151] The receiving recess has, for example, a trough-like shape. It is particularly advantageous if the receiving recess is deeper in the area of ​​the hook receptacle or the hook itself than in an area further away from the hook receptacle or the hook. It is advantageously provided that a receiving recess is arranged at opposite longitudinal end regions of the hook receptacle.

[0152] Advantageously, the hook is arranged on the back of the vacuum cleaner housing or on a side of the vacuum cleaner housing that is opposite to a side of the vacuum cleaner housing where a suction inlet is arranged, through which the suction flow can enter the vacuum cleaner housing.

[0153] P 31384 / PCT

[0154] August 22, 2025. Furthermore, it is possible that the vacuum cleaner has two or more hooks, with at least one hook having a receptacle that can be closed by the lid. It is also possible that two or more hooks are arranged on the vacuum cleaner housing, the receptacles of which can be closed by the lid. Thus, for example, there could be one hook for a power cord and another for the suction hose on the vacuum cleaner housing, each closed by the lid when it is in the closed position and accessible when the lid is in its open position.

[0155] It is advantageous if the housing, in addition to the hook, has at least one storage opening that communicates with the storage space, allowing a portion of the object suspended or hanging from the hook to protrude into the storage space. Thus, a connection exists between the storage opening and the hook receptacle on one side and the storage space on the other, suitable for receiving the object, particularly the power cord. For example, if a suction hose or cable is suspended from the hook, a portion of the hose or cable can run or be positioned between the storage space and the hook receptacle. For instance, a longitudinal extension of the storage opening can extend transversely, particularly at right angles, to the longitudinal axis of the hook receptacle, with the longitudinal axis of the hook receptacle running between its longitudinal end regions.

[0156] The at least one storage opening is advantageously designed as a recess or depression on a side wall bordering the storage space. When the lid is in the closed position, the recess or depression is completely or partially closed by the lid. The lid thus forms a cover for both the hook receptacle or the hook itself, and for the storage opening, so that parts of the item, particularly the power cord, located in the storage opening and in the hook receptacle are held in place by the lid.

[0157] P 31384 / PCT

[0158] August 22, 2025. Preferably, the storage opening has a cross-sectional area smaller than the outer circumference of the plug of the electrical power cord, so that when the cord is hanging from the hook, the plug is held securely in the storage space with respect to a pull direction oriented away from the storage space. It is also preferred that, due to the cross-sectional area of ​​the storage opening, the plug is fixed transversely to a longitudinal extent of the storage opening, in which the storage opening extends between the storage space and an exterior area of ​​the suction device or the hook receptacle, by means of the storage opening or a circumferential contour of the opening and the cover when it is in the covered position.Thus, for example, the power cord can be hung in the hook holder as a cable coil, with one end of the power cord, including the plug, placed in the storage opening so that the plug is inside the storage compartment. When the lid is then moved into the closed position, it not only closes the hook holder, which holds the coiled power cord, but also the storage opening, thus securing the plug and preventing the coiled cord from unwinding.

[0159] Advantageously, the hook receptacle and the storage compartment have adjacent sections. For example, a section of the power cord or a coil of the power cord can be arranged in the hook receptacle section, which is then opposite a section of a suction hose wound up in the storage compartment.

[0160] It is advantageous if the storage space has a larger capacity than the hook holder.

[0161] The base of the hook receptacle is advantageously located further away from the underside of the suction cup housing intended for placement on a surface than the base of the storage compartment. For example, the base of the hook receptacle is positioned close to the lid, while the base of the

[0162] P 31384 / PCT

[0163] August 22, 2025. The hook receptacle is positioned at a greater distance from the lid than the base of the hook receptacle. Therefore, the hook receptacle is advantageously less deep than the storage space.

[0164] It is preferred if the hook receptacle has a sufficient length.

[0165] It is advantageous, for example, that the hook receptacle extends between its end regions along a longitudinal axis on one side of the vacuum cleaner housing, wherein the longitudinal axis has a length of at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, and even more preferably at least 50% of the width of the side of the vacuum cleaner housing. For example, the hook receptacle extends over at least 30%, 40%, or 50% of the rear transverse width of the vacuum cleaner housing. Thus, a coiled power cord finds broad support in the cable receptacle, extending over the longitudinal axis.

[0166] It should be emphasized, however, that the hook receptacle does not necessarily have to have a straight or elongated shape. For example, the hook receptacle may have a curve extending in the form of a bulge between the longitudinal end regions of the hook receptacle, the bulge being designed and intended to support an inner circumference of a cable reel or cable loop of a power cable and / or extending in an arc from the underside of the suction device to its top side.

[0167] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the vacuum cleaner housing has a body that includes or defines an interior space. The body can be multi-part, for example, comprising a lower housing section and an upper housing section.

[0168] The handle is either permanently attached to or integrally connected to a wall of the vacuum cleaner housing. This wall could be, for example, a top or ceiling wall. It could also be, for instance, a floor wall of the storage compartment.

[0169] P 31384 / PCT

[0170] August 22, 2025. The vacuum cleaner housing advantageously comprises a lower housing section and an upper housing section that can be detachably connected to the lower housing section. For example, the two housing sections can be detachably connected to each other by means of tabs or the like. The lower housing section preferably contains the dust collection chamber. The vacuum unit is advantageously arranged in the upper housing section. It is advantageous if all or most of the electrical components are arranged in the upper housing section. It is understandable that the upper housing section has a considerable weight due to the vacuum unit; therefore, it is advantageous if the handle and the cover are arranged on the upper housing section.

[0171] The interior of the vacuum cleaner housing is accessible when the upper and lower parts of the housing are separated.

[0172] The handle is advantageously arranged on the upper housing part, for example on a side of the upper housing part facing away from the lower housing part, if the upper housing part is attached to the lower housing part. The upper housing part can have compartments for components of the suction device, e.g., the suction unit, a filter, or the like.

[0173] The handle is advantageously positioned on a projection, e.g., a dome, located within the storage compartment. The projection extends from the base of the storage compartment towards the lid when the lid is in the closed position.

[0174] The protrusion can only be intended for the purpose of holding the handle.

[0175] However, it is advantageous if the protrusion acts as a winding aid for coiling a flexible organ, such as a suction tube, into the storage space. The suction tube or flexible organ can therefore be wound around the protrusion.

[0176] P 31384 / PCT

[0177] August 22, 2025. It is advantageous for the protrusion to be located in a central area of ​​the storage space, particularly approximately in the middle or exactly in the middle. However, it is also possible for the protrusion to be located at an edge or off-center within the storage space.

[0178] A free end section of the projection can be designed as a handle. However, it is advantageous if the projection has a wall at its free end section on which the handle is located. This wall forms a projection wall.

[0179] The projection or projection wall has an edge region with an outer circumferential contour. The outer circumferential contour of the projection wall's edge region and an inner circumferential contour of the handle opening, which is opposite the outer circumferential contour when the cover is in the closed position, are opposite each other. It is advantageous if the outer and inner circumferential contours are identical.

[0180] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the outer and inner circumferential contours are directly opposite each other when the cover is in the closed position. The projection can, for example, extend into or be located near the handle opening, with the inner and outer circumferential contours being directly opposite each other.

[0181] It is also possible that the outer circumferential contour and the inner circumferential contour are at least partially or sectionally or completely adjacent to or touching each other when the cover is in the covered position.

[0182] The handle opening is advantageously surrounded on a side facing away from the storage space by an outer surface of the lid, with the handle being flush with the outer surface, recessed behind the outer surface, or not protruding from the outer surface when the lid is in the closed position. Thus, for example, an object can easily be placed on the outer surface of the lid without the handle being in the way. For example,

[0183] P 31384 / PCT

[0184] On August 22, 2025, a transport container, which will be explained in more detail below, will be placed and / or mounted on the outer surface of the lid.

[0185] However, it is generally possible that the handle protrudes from the outer surface of the lid when it is in the covered position.

[0186] The handle is preferably designed and intended for use by an operator. For example, a passageway or reach-through opening is provided between the handle and the projecting wall of the projection located in the storage space, allowing an operator to reach through.

[0187] Preferably, the handle is designed as a handle or grip bar. A recessed grip can be provided on the projecting wall of the projection or on any other wall supporting the handle, designed and intended for an operator to reach through.

[0188] The lid advantageously comprises a storage compartment closure section covering the storage space and a hook closure section closing the hook receptacle. The storage compartment closure section and the hook closure section are advantageously of different sizes. While the storage compartment closure section, for example, almost completely closes the top of the teat housing, the hook closure section can be located on a narrow or long side of the teat housing and close only that narrow or long side.

[0189] The storage compartment locking section and the hook locking section are advantageously separated from each other in such a way that the storage compartment locking section covers or closes the storage compartment and the hook locking section covers or closes the hook receptacle separately. For example, the two locking sections are separated from each other by a wall.

[0190] P 31384 / PCT

[0191] August 22, 2025 The hook receptacle is advantageously arranged on an outer circumference of the suction cup housing, in particular on a narrow side or rear side of the suction cup housing.

[0192] For example, the lid can be designed as a plate, a plate body, or a cover plate.

[0193] However, the lid can also have a housing-like structure and, for example, a top wall and side walls projecting from it.

[0194] The cover can be removable from the vacuum cleaner housing, or it can be completely or entirely detachable. For example, the cover can be attached to the vacuum cleaner housing or inserted into a socket on the vacuum cleaner housing.

[0195] Advantageously, the cover is mounted on the suction cup housing via a pivot bearing, allowing it to pivot about a pivot axis between the closed and open positions. This pivot axis advantageously runs along a longitudinal side of the suction cup housing, extending between the front side (which has the suction inlet) and the rear side of the housing opposite the front side. This allows the cover to be pivoted, for example, laterally away from the suction cup housing.

[0196] The pivot axis of the swivel bearing and the longitudinal axis of the hook receptacle, which extends between its longitudinal end regions, advantageously run transversely to each other, for example at right angles. For example, the longitudinal axis of the hook receptacle is parallel to or approximately parallel to a rear side of the suction cup housing, while the pivot axis runs along a longitudinal side of the suction cup housing.

[0197] The swivel bearing is, for example, located on a longitudinal side wall of the suction cup housing.

[0198] P 31384 / PCT

[0199] August 22, 2025. A preferred concept provides that at least one retaining device for holding an accessory, such as a nozzle, brush, or the like, of the vacuum cleaner is arranged on the circumferential holding device, for example, the circumferential wall. The accessory is specifically designed and intended for use with the suction hose or at a longitudinal end of the suction hose. For example, the at least one retaining device is arranged on an end face of the circumferential wall or on a free side of the circumferential wall. The accessory advantageously forms a system component of the vacuum cleaner or a component of the vacuum cleaner itself.

[0200] Preferably, the at least one retaining device is arranged at an angle or corner between mutually angled sides of the suction cup housing and / or the storage compartment and / or the perimeter wall of the storage compartment. Advantageously, the lid intended to cover the storage compartment is designed and configured to cover the at least one retaining device.

[0201] The at least one mounting receptacle is preferably designed as a plug-in receptacle into which the accessory can be inserted. A plug-in axis, along which the accessory can be inserted into the at least one mounting receptacle, is preferably substantially vertical or inclined to a vertical at an angle of no more than 30° when the vacuum cleaner is standing on a horizontal surface.

[0202] Preferably, the holding device or plug-in device is designed and configured so that a pipe section or pipe body of the accessory can be held by the holding device and / or plugged into the plug-in device.

[0203] The at least one retaining recess for the accessory is preferably covered or can be covered by the lid when it is in its covering position. The arrangement is preferably such that the accessory held in the retaining recess is securely held by the lid in its covering position. It is advantageously provided that the accessory in the at least one-

[0205] August 22, 2025 The accessory part held in the holder is fixed or can be fixed by the lid of the suction device in the covering position.

[0206] Advantageously, a transport container can be attached to the vacuum cleaner housing, particularly to the lid. The vacuum cleaner preferably has fastening means for attaching a transport container to the lid. The transport container can, for example, be positioned or placed on a top or upper wall of the lid.

[0207] The transport container attached to the lid is preferably attachable to the lid by means of fastening means. For example, the subsequent locking element can form part of the fastening means.

[0208] Advantageously, the suction device features a locking element for closing the lid in the covered position, which, in a closed position, locks the lid in its covered position and, in a release position, releases the lid for adjustment to the open position. This locking element is designed, for example, as a latch, in particular as a swing latch.

[0209] In the closed position, the locking element can also lock the transport container of a suction cup housing. For example, the locking element is arranged on the lid, and in the closed position, it engages both with a locking element on the suction cup housing and with a locking element on the transport container.

[0210] The vacuum cleaner is advantageously designed as a workshop vacuum or construction site vacuum. It is particularly desirable if the vacuum cleaner is designed and intended for operation with a hand-held power tool or other machine tool, for example, for extracting dust generated during the operation of the hand-held power tool.

[0211] Advantageously, the vacuum cleaner has a cleaning device for cleaning a main filter of the vacuum cleaner of dust, wherein the main filter is arranged between the dust collection chamber and the suction unit.

[0212] P 31384 / PCT

[0213] August 22, 2025. Preferably, the vacuum cleaner has rollers, particularly on the underside of the vacuum cleaner housing, allowing the vacuum cleaner to be rolled on a surface. The rollers of the vacuum cleaner preferably include fixed rollers and swivel rollers arranged on opposite sides of the vacuum cleaner housing.

[0214] An invention that is independent in itself in connection with the preamble features of claim 1, but also an advantageous embodiment of the previous embodiments, provides that a holder for the detachable fastening of an electrical and / or pneumatic add-on module and / or a pneumatic and / or electrical add-on module is arranged in the storage space.

[0215] An advantageous concept provides that the additional module includes an electrical energy storage device, in particular for powering the suction device, and / or at least one electrical or pneumatic socket for the electrical or pneumatic power supply of a machine tool that can be connected to the suction device.

[0216] The additional module can, for example, be permanently stored in the storage compartment. Alternatively, the additional module can be detachably attached to the bracket and only fastened when needed.

[0217] The holder preferably has electrical contacts that interact with electrical contacts of the additional module in such a way that, for example, energy can be transferred from the additional module towards the suction device and / or vice versa.

[0218] Furthermore, the additional module and the suction device can have compatible communication interfaces for communication with each other, in particular for the transmission of data and / or control information, for example contact-based electrical communication interfaces, e.g. for a l 2 C-Bus, a USB interface or similar, and / or wireless communication-

[0219] P 31384 / PCT

[0220] August 22, 2025 Connection interfaces, e.g. Bluetooth and / or WLAN interfaces or the like.

[0221] For example, a wireless connection between the add-on module and the vacuum unit is possible, particularly via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or similar technologies. The vacuum unit can control the add-on module and / or vice versa via the communication interface. However, the communication interfaces of the add-on module and the vacuum unit can also be designed and intended for data transmission solely for data transfer or for additional control functions. For example, data such as information about the airflow and / or electrical current flowing through the add-on module, or similar information, can be transmitted via the communication interfaces of the add-on module and the vacuum unit.

[0222] The add-on module can also provide or represent an additional communication interface for the vacuum cleaner. For example, the add-on module can equip the vacuum cleaner with at least one wireless communication interface, such as a Bluetooth interface and / or a WLAN interface.

[0223] The electrical energy storage device, which may contain a rechargeable battery, can, for example, power the vacuum cleaner. However, it is also possible that the energy storage device is designed and / or intended to power a device that can be connected to the vacuum cleaner, such as a machine tool.

[0224] Advantageously, the additional module can also be designed as a charging interface for charging an electrical energy storage device, or it can have a charging interface. For example, the electrical energy storage device, in particular a battery pack, can be intended for supplying electrical power to a machine tool and / or the vacuum cleaner.

[0225] The additional module advantageously includes one or more, in particular two, sockets, for example an electrical socket and / or a pneumatic socket.

[0226] P 31384 / PCT

[0227] August 22, 2025, see power outlet. Each power outlet can supply electricity or compressed air to a device that can be connected to the vacuum unit, for example, a machine tool.

[0228] If a pneumatic socket is present, it is advantageous for the additional module to also include a connection for a compressed air supply. This connection is preferably connected to, or connectable to, the pneumatic socket.

[0229] The vacuum unit is advantageously switchable depending on an electric current or airflow via the at least one socket. The at least one socket is preferably a switched socket for turning the vacuum unit on and off. When the device connected to the socket, for example, the machine tool, is switched on, an electric current or airflow occurs. The vacuum unit can then be switched on depending on this flow. When the electric current or airflow ceases, the vacuum unit is switched off accordingly. For example, the additional module includes an electrical switching contact or sensor that can be switched on and off by the current flowing through the socket or the airflow passing through it.It is advantageous if the additional module sets a run-on time, during which the vacuum cleaner remains switched on for a predetermined or adjustable time after the current or airflow via the socket has ceased.

[0230] Preferably, the holder or the additional module is positioned opposite the at least one hose winding passage opening.

[0231] Preferably, the holder or the additional module is provided that the at least one hose winding passage opening is positioned against-

[0232] P 31384 / PCT

[0233] The deadline is August 22, 2025. Preferably, the additional module has a socket through which at least one hose reel opening is accessible.

[0234] Advantageously, the holder and / or the additional module is arranged within an interior space of the hose reel, or at least one turn of this hose reel, which is at least partially enclosed in the storage space. One or more turns of the hose reel preferably extend around the holder and / or the additional module. One or more turns of the hose reel can project beyond the hose reel passage, extending in front of the storage space and the holder and / or the additional module. In particular, the holder or the additional module is arranged within the interior of at least one such turn projecting in front of the suction device housing or the storage space.

[0235] The hose reel opening thus offers an additional benefit: it provides easy access to at least one electrical outlet of the add-on module. Other functional elements of the add-on module, such as electrical switches, controls, or the like, can also be operated by a user through the hose reel opening.

[0236] For example, the bracket or additional module is arranged on a projection extending into the storage space and / or is located opposite one or more hose winding openings.

[0237] As previously explained, the additional module or holder can, for example, be arranged on a projection or dome extending into the storage space. However, it is also possible that the storage space has no projection at all, or none suitable for winding. In this configuration, it can be advantageous if the holder or additional module is / are positioned approximately centrally within the storage space, so that the hose coil can extend around the additional module. This embodiment is possible if one or more hose coil passage openings are present.

[0238] P 31384 / PCT

[0239] The additional module is available from August 22, 2025, but also even if there is no opening for the hose reel. Therefore, the additional module can utilize a portion of the storage space that is not required by the hose reel or that is not necessary for storing the hose reel. It is possible that the holder and / or the additional module could act as a winding aid for the hose reel.

[0240] It is preferred if the holder and / or the additional module are at least partially surrounded and / or protected in the storage space by the perimeter holding device or perimeter wall that defines the storage space.

[0241] It is advantageous that the additional module or the holder is covered by a lid or the lid of the suction device when it is in a covering position.

[0242] An advantageous embodiment provides that the suction hose can also be removed from the storage compartment for use in the vacuuming operation of the vacuuming device. In this situation, it is advantageous if the holder or the additional module is freely accessible to an operator, at least when the lid is open.

[0243] A particularly preferred embodiment provides that two sockets of the additional module are located opposite the at least one hose winding opening. For example, one socket is a switched socket, where an electric current or an airflow through the socket serves to switch the vacuum cleaner on or off. The other socket can be a continuous current socket, with which the connected device can be permanently supplied with electricity or compressed air.

[0244] The add-on module preferably has a cubic shape. The add-on module may have a housing, which is made of, for example, plastic.

[0245] P 31384 / PCT

[0246] August 22, 2025. For example, the bracket is arranged on a projection, e.g., a dome or a changing aid, that protrudes into the storage space. If the additional module is arranged on the projection, preferably the side walls of the additional module are flush with the side walls of the projection or do not protrude from the side walls of the projection, so that the additional module, for example, represents a kind of extension of the projection.

[0247] Preferably, the holder or the additional module is arranged in the storage space in such a way that it does not protrude in the sense of narrowing a receiving channel for receiving the at least one suction hose into the receiving channel.

[0248] The holder and / or the additional module is preferably arranged in the storage space in such a way that at least one section of the suction hose can be received in the storage space past the additional module arranged on the holder or the additional module itself.

[0249] The additional module can also form an integral part of the vacuum cleaner. For example, the additional module is integrated into the vacuum cleaner housing.

[0250] A detachable version is particularly preferred, meaning that the add-on module can be detachably arranged on the suction device. For example, the add-on module and the holder have interlocking contours, especially plug-in contours, so that the add-on module can be plugged into the holder. The plug-in contours can include, for example, linear guides, U-shaped guides, L-shaped guide legs, or the like. A dovetail guide is also possible.

[0251] Advantageously, the additional module can be inserted into the holder in a direction that is approximately vertical in the operating position of the suction device and / or is parallel or essentially parallel to an insertion direction with which the suction hose can be inserted into the storage room through the storage room insertion opening.

[0252] P 31384 / PCT

[0253] August 22, 2025 One variant may provide that there are no electrical contacts on the bracket.

[0254] A preferred design provides that the add-on module has a power cord with a plug that can be inserted into a power outlet on the vacuum cleaner. The power outlet on the vacuum cleaner is primarily used to directly power an electrical device. However, when the add-on module is attached to the vacuum cleaner or used in conjunction with it, this power outlet supplies the add-on module with power. The power cord is preferably long enough that, when the add-on module is attached to its holder, it is just long enough to allow the plug of the add-on module to be inserted into the power outlet on the vacuum cleaner. The power outlet on the vacuum cleaner is preferably located outside the storage compartment, for example, on a control panel of the vacuum cleaner.

[0273] August 22, 2025 Figure 16 the upper part of the suction device according to Figure 14, but from a side opposite to the view according to Figure 14,

[0274] Figure 17 shows a variant of the upper part of the suction device as seen in Figure 14.

[0275] A vacuum device 10 has a vacuum housing 11. A suction inlet 12 for connecting a suction hose 13 is provided on the vacuum housing 11. The suction inlet 12 serves to allow a suction flow STR to enter, which can be generated by a suction unit 15 located in the vacuum housing 11. The suction inlet 12 is connected to a dust collection chamber 14 of the vacuum device 10, into which the suction flow STR can be drawn. A filter 16 serves to release dust contained in the suction flow STR, which can then be collected in the dust collection chamber 14. However, instead of or in addition to the filter 16, a filter bag (not shown in the drawing) can also be arranged to collect dust in the dust collection chamber 14.

[0276] Particularly when no filter bag is used, cleaning of the filter 16 is provided. For example, the vacuum unit 10 has a cleaning device 17, in particular an external air valve or the like, for cleaning the filter 16. The filter 16 can be cleaned, for example, by an external airflow that flows through the filter 16 against the direction of the suction flow STR, whereby dust that has accumulated on the filter 16 falls into the dust collection chamber 14.

[0277] Thus, the vacuum unit 10 is characterized as a typical workshop vacuum or construction site vacuum, which can be used, for example, with a hand-held power tool H, in particular a saw or the like. For example, the hand-held power tool H can be connected to the vacuum unit 10 via the suction hose 13.

[0278] The suction housing 11 comprises a body 20, on the front 21 of which the suction inlet 12 is arranged. Longitudinal sides 23 extend between the front 21 and a rear 22 of the body 20.

[0279] P 31384 / PCT

[0280] August 22, 2025 In a usage position of the vacuum cleaner 10, a bottom surface 24 of the vacuum cleaner housing 11 faces a surface U, and a top surface 25 faces away from the surface U.

[0281] The vacuum cleaner housing 11 is multi-part, for example, two-part, and comprises a lower housing part 30 and an upper housing part 40. The lower housing part 30 includes the dust collection chamber 14, which is accessible by removing the upper housing part 40 from the lower housing part 30, for example, to empty dust from the dust collection chamber 14.

[0282] The upper housing part 40 can be positioned on the lower housing part 30 and moved away from it, for example, completely away.

[0283] Fixing means 18 are provided for securing the upper housing part 40 to the lower housing part 30, for example a tab, a retaining element or the like. In particular, the fixing means 18 is arranged on the rear side 22 and can be operated from there.

[0284] At the front 21, the lower housing part 30 has a front wall 31 and the upper housing part 40 has a front wall 41. At the rear 22, the lower housing part 30 has a rear wall 32 and the upper housing part 40 has a rear wall 42. Longitudinal side walls 33 of the lower housing part 30 and longitudinal side walls 43 of the upper housing part 40 extend along the longitudinal sides 23 of the suction housing 11 or suction device 10.

[0285] Walls 31-33 are connected to each other and form a perimeter wall of the lower housing section 30, which projects from a bottom wall 34. Walls 31-34, for example, at least partially define the dust collection chamber 14.

[0286] The suction device 10 has wheels 19 that allow it to be rolled on the surface U, for example, swivel wheels 21 at the front and non-steerable wheels 22 at the rear. For example, the wheels 13 are arranged on the bottom wall 34 and / or the longitudinal side walls 33.

[0287] P 31384 / PCT

[0288] August 22, 2025. The walls 41-43 of the upper housing section 40 form an outer perimeter wall that extends around an upper bottom wall 44 and a lower bottom wall 45 of the upper housing section 40. The bottom walls 44, 45, and the aforementioned perimeter wall define an interior space in which, for example, the cleaning device 17 and the suction unit 15 are arranged. Of course, the two bottom walls 44, 45 are to be understood as exemplary; that is, several walls, partition walls, or the like can be arranged and provided in the upper housing section 40 between the perimeter walls 41, 42, and 43.

[0289] For example, the filter 16 is arranged on the lower bottom wall 45, which faces the lower housing part 30 and in particular the dust collection chamber 14, when the upper housing part 40 is arranged on the lower housing part 30.

[0290] The upper bottom wall 44 could also be described as a top wall. However, the bottom wall 44 forms a bottom wall insofar as it provides a floor 44A of a storage compartment 50 at the top 45 of the vacuum cleaner housing 11 or vacuum cleaner 10.

[0291] For example, the suction hose 13 can be stored in storage compartment 50 when not in use.

[0292] Opposite the floor 44A or the floor wall 44 is a storage room insertion opening 59 for inserting objects, in particular the suction hose 13, into the storage room 50.

[0293] The suction hose 13 can advantageously be wound around a projection 51, which, in the form of a dome, extends from the bottom wall 44 or the base 44A towards the top 25 into the storage space 50. Thus, the projection 51 forms a winding aid 51A.

[0294] A circumferential holding device 47H projects in front of the base 44A and serves to support the suction hose 13 around its circumference. The circumferential holding device

[0295] P 31384 / PCT

[0296] 22 August 2025 47H surrounds the storage room 50 laterally on at least two, preferably at least three or four sides.

[0297] For example, the circumferential holding device 47H is formed by or has a circumferential wall 47. The circumferential wall 47 extends from the bottom 44A of the storage space 50 to the top 25 of the suction device 10.

[0298] The perimeter holding device 47H or the perimeter wall 47 limits the storage room insertion opening 59.

[0299] The suction hose 13 can be wound up into a hose reel 13W, in which case it can be completely stored, for example, in storage space 50.

[0300] The hose reel 13W is supported or can be supported circumferentially or laterally in the storage space 50 by the circumferential holding device 47H, in particular the circumferential wall 47 which surrounds the storage space 50.

[0301] The projection 51 comprises a circumferential wall 52 extending from the base wall 44, and at its free end, a projection wall 53 from which the circumferential wall 52 projects towards the base wall 44. The circumferential wall 52 and the base wall 44 are rigidly connected or integral, so that the projection 51 essentially forms part of the upper base wall 44. Thus, the projection 51 is an integral part of the body 20 and can therefore bear loads, for example, from a carrying handle 60 located on the upper surface 25. The suction device 10 can be conveniently carried using the handle 60, which thus serves as a carrying handle.

[0302] The handle 60 comprises a handle body 61, which is connected to the projection 51 by means of connecting arms 62 arranged at a distance from each other. For example, the connecting arms 62 are connected to the projection wall 53.

[0303] P 31384 / PCT

[0304] August 22, 2025 A through-opening 63 is provided between the handle body 61 and the projecting wall 53, through which an operator can grasp the handle 60 by grasping the handle body 61. Thus, the distance between the handle body 61 and the projecting wall 53 is designed to allow for a through-opening with several fingers of one hand and is of a suitable size for this purpose.

[0305] A particularly advantageous fastening of the handle 60 to the suction cup housing 11, especially to the upper housing part 40, can be achieved by providing, for example, screw bosses 58 that are generally firmly connected to the housing structure of the upper housing part 40 or the suction cup housing 11.

[0306] The screw bosses 58 can extend to the projection wall 53 or be part of it. The screw bosses 58 are suitable for screwing in mounting screws 64, with which the handle 60, in particular the connecting arms 62, are connected to the projection or boss 51.

[0307] For example, the screw bosses 58 can extend to the bottom wall 45 or at least penetrate the upper bottom wall or top wall 44.

[0308] It is now understandable that the handle 60 is easily accessible to an operator when the top surface 25 of the body 20 is completely unobstructed. In particular, the handle 60 is positioned in a central area on the top surface 25 when viewed from above, so that the suction device 10 can be grasped and carried, so to speak, centrally at the handle 60.

[0309] However, the handle 60 is also available when a cover 70, as explained below, covers the storage space 50 in a cover position AP.

[0310] The lid 70 comprises a cover wall 74, from which a front wall 71 and a rear wall 72, as well as longitudinal side walls 73 connecting the walls 71 and 72, project. The front walls 31, 41, 71, the rear walls 32, 42, 72, and the longitudinal side walls 73

[0311] P 31384 / PCT

[0312] August 22, 2025 tenwände 33, 43, 73 align with each other when the lid 70 is in its covering position AP.

[0313] However, it is also possible that, in a manner not shown in the drawing, the cover 70 merely comprises, for example, a cover wall corresponding to the top wall 74, from which no side walls or only some of the side walls project in the manner of walls 71-73, wherein this cover wall is advantageously designed to fit the portions of the front wall 41, the rear wall 42, and the longitudinal side walls 43 that define the storage space 50 in a form-fitting or essentially identical manner. For example, an outer circumference of the cover wall (not shown) which is essentially an alternative to the cover wall 74 is arranged in a receiving space or a lid receptacle that is bounded by the front wall 41 and / or the rear wall 42 and / or one or both of the longitudinal side walls 43.

[0314] The cover 70 is pivotally connected to the upper housing part 40 and thus to the suction housing 11 by means of a pivot bearing 75 between a covered position AP, in which the cover 70 at least partially closes the storage space 50, and an open position OP, in which the cover 70 opens the storage space 50, for example, for the installation of the suction hose 13. The pivot bearing 75 comprises, for example, one or more pivot bearing assemblies 75A.

[0315] The pivot axis S extends, for example, parallel to the longitudinal extent of the longitudinal side walls 43. For example, the pivot bearing 75 is arranged on a narrow side of one of the longitudinal side walls 43 facing the cover 70, and the pivot axis S runs along the narrow side.

[0316] A handle opening 76 for the handle 60 is provided on the lid 70, in particular on the top wall 74. The handle opening 76 forms, so to speak, a window through which the handle 60 projects to the top 25 of the suction device 10, so that the handle

[0317] P 31384 / PCT

[0318] August 22, 2025 60 can be easily grasped by an operator and the suction device 10 can be carried by that operator.

[0319] An inner circumferential contour 77 of the handle passage opening 76 corresponds approximately to an outer circumferential contour 57 of the projection 51 in the area of ​​the handle passage opening 76. For example, the outer circumferential contour 57 runs between the circumferential wall 52 and the projection end wall 53. The projection end wall 53 forms, so to speak, a base for the handle passage opening 76 in which the handle 60 is provided.

[0320] Optionally, a circumferential wall 76U can be provided at the handle opening 76, which projects towards the projection 51 in the cover position AP. For example, a free end region of the circumferential wall 76, which has or defines the inner circumferential contour 77, abuts the outer circumferential contour 57 of the projection 51 in the cover position AP of the cover 70 or is opposite this outer circumferential contour 57.

[0321] The handle 60 does not project from any side of the lid 70 facing away from the storage space 50 or from any free side 78. A storage surface 79 is provided on side 78, on which items, for example a transport container 100 for the hand-held power tool H, the hand-held power tool H, or other tools or similar items, can be placed.

[0322] A free side of the handle 60 oriented towards the top 25, which is preferably designed as a flat surface or flat side, advantageously aligns approximately with the support surface 79, so that the handle 60 can provide additional support for a body or object placed on the support surface 79.

[0323] The vacuum unit 10 is preferably a vacuum unit suitable for mains operation. For example, the vacuum unit 10 has a mains cable 26 with which the vacuum unit 15 and other electrical components of the vacuum unit 10 (not shown in the drawing) can be supplied with electrical energy. The mains cable 26 and a mains cable (not described in detail here) of the

[0324] P 31384 / PCT

[0325] August 22, 2025 Hand-held machine tool H can be conveniently transported using the hook 58 of the suction device 10 as explained below.

[0326] For example, the power cord 26 can be wound into a cable reel 27, which can be inserted into a hook receptacle 86 of the hook 85. For example, the cable reel 27 can be hooked into the hook receptacle 86.

[0327] It is possible that a longitudinal end section 28 of the power cable 26, on which a plug 29 is arranged, protrudes from the storage space 50 through a storage opening 54.

[0328] The storage opening 54 has a cross-sectional area 55 through which, for example, the power cord 26, in particular its longitudinal end section 28 or another part of the power cord 26, can pass. This cross-sectional area is smaller than the outer circumference or the insertion cross-section of a plug housing 29A of the plug 29, so that the plug cannot be pulled out in a pulling direction ZR along the longitudinal direction of the storage opening 54, which extends between the storage space 50 and an external area or the hook receptacle 56. Therefore, the plug 29 can be stored securely in the storage space 50, especially when the cover 70 is in the covered position AP.

[0329] The storage opening 54 can preferably be closed with the lid 70.

[0330] It is advantageous if a storage opening 54 is provided on both sides of the hook receptacle 86, i.e. at its two longitudinal end regions 90.

[0331] The at least one storage opening 54 is provided, for example, on the rear wall 42 next to the hook 85.

[0333] August 22, 2025 The rear wall 42 of the housing upper part 40 forms a receiving recess 56 next to the hook 85, into which parts of the cable winding 27 of the power cable 26 can engage when the cable winding 27 is held on the hook receptacle 86.

[0334] The wall sections 56A of the rear wall 42 forming the receiving recess 56 transition into a side wall section 88 of the rear wall 52, which limits the hook receptacle 86 in the direction of the storage space 50.

[0335] The side wall section 88 forms a side section 88A of the hook receptacle 86 and extends away from a bottom wall 87 of the hook receptacle 86, which provides a bottom 87A of the hook receptacle 86.

[0336] Side section 88A is opposite a side section 89A, which is formed by a side wall 89.

[0337] The side wall 89 is integrally connected to the rear wall 42 of the housing upper part 40 or to the rear wall 42 or, in a variant not shown, is formed by the rear wall 42.

[0338] The side sections 88A, 89A limit the hook receptacle 89.

[0339] The bottom wall 87, the side wall section 88 and the side wall 89 form a receiving recess that forms the hook receptacle 89.

[0340] The hook receptacle 86 extends between its longitudinal end regions 90 along a longitudinal axis L.

[0341] The storage opening 54 is provided, for example, on the rear wall 42 next to the hook 85. The rear wall 42 of the housing upper part 40 forms a receiving recess 56 next to the hook 85, into which sections of the cable reel 27 of the power cord 26 can engage when the cable reel 27 is held on the hook receptacle 86.

[0343] August 22, 2025. The wall sections 56A of the rear wall 42 forming the receiving recesses 56 transition into a side wall section 88 of the rear wall 52, which limits the hook receptacle 56 towards the storage space 50. The side wall section 88 forms a side section 88 of the hook receptacle 86 and extends away from a bottom wall 87 of the hook receptacle 86.

[0344] The bottom wall 87, the side wall section 88 and the side wall 89 form a receiving recess that forms the hook receptacle 89.

[0345] The hook receptacle 86 extends between its longitudinal end regions 90 along a longitudinal axis L.

[0346] The side sections 88A, 89A form upward-pointing sections 25 towards the top, for example, side arms of the hook receptacle 86, which project in front of the bottom wall 87. Thus, a recess or receiving recess is formed into which the cable coil 27 of the power cable 26 can be inserted.

[0347] The hook receptacle 96 can be closed in a simple way, namely by means of the cover 70.

[0348] The lid 70 has a hook closure section 82H for closing the hook receptacle 86.

[0349] The hook locking section 82H is arranged next to a storage compartment locking section 82A, which closes the storage compartment 95 in the cover position AP of the lid 70.

[0350] A wall 83 is optionally arranged between the storage compartment locking section 82A and the hook locking section 82H, its end face being opposite the side wall section 88A when the lid 70 is in the covered position AP. The wall 83 forms a locking section 80.

[0352] August 22, 2025. The rear wall 72 of the lid 70 is opposite the side wall section 89A, so that the rear wall 82 and the wall 83 laterally define the hook receptacle 86. The rear wall 72 forms and / or encompasses a closure section 81.

[0353] In addition, a part of the cover wall 74, which extends between the wall 83 and the rear wall 72 of the cover 70, is arranged above the hook receptacle 86 in the cover position AP of the cover 70, so that a passage channel 91 is enclosed in which the cable coil 27 of the power cable 26 is enclosed in a ring shape.

[0354] It should be mentioned here that, for example, the wall 83 may project less far towards the side wall section 88A when the cover 70 is in its covering position AP. This is indicated, for example, by a schematically represented wall 83K (Figure 3). In this case, it is theoretically possible for the cable coil 27 of the power cord 26 to emerge from the hook receptacle 86 towards the storage compartment 50. However, the hook receptacle 86 is closed to the outside of the vacuum cleaner housing 11 by the closing section 81, which is opposite the side section 89A and preferably located close to it, in any case close enough that the cross-section of the power cord 26 would no longer be able to pass through any gap or space between the closing section 81 and the side wall 89.

[0355] The cover 70 can be fixed in the covered position AP by means of a locking element 103. The locking element 103 comprises, for example, a latching element 104, which can be engaged with a locking contour 105 to lock the cover 70 in the covered position AP. For example, the locking contour 105 is arranged on one of the longitudinal side walls 43, which is opposite the other longitudinal side wall 43 on which the pivot bearing 75 is arranged. The locking element 103 or latching element 104 is, for example, rotatably arranged on the cover 70 and can be engaged or disengaged from the locking contour 105 by rotary operation.

[0356] P 31384 / PCT

[0357] August 22, 2025 Fastening means 101 for securing the transport container 100 are also provided on the lid 70. For example, the transport container 100 has hooks (not shown) that can engage with hook receptacles 102 on the lid 70. The hook receptacles 102 are, for example, arranged on the top wall 74.

[0358] The locking element 103 can be brought into a rotational position in which it engages with the locking contour 105 and simultaneously with a locking contour 106 on the transport container 100, so that the locking element 103 overlaps the lid 70 and engages with both locking contours 105 and 106, thus locking the transport container 100 to the lid 70.

[0359] The longitudinal axis L of the hook receptacle 86 is, for example, about half as long or at least 40% as long as a transverse width QB of the rear wall 42, which extends between the longitudinal side walls 43 at the height or in the area of ​​the hook receptacle 86.

[0360] A free end area of ​​the side section 89A of the hook receptacle 86 projects into a recess or receptacle 84 of the cover 70 when the latter is in the cover position AP. For example, this free end area is positively engaged in the receptacle 84.

[0361] The side section 89A preferably projects further towards the top 85 than the side section 88A, so that the power cord 26 or the cable reel 27 can be guided over the projecting, free end area of ​​the side section 89A. An operator can also place the cable reel 27 or the power cord 26 around the projecting side section 89A in a kind of throwing or looping motion.

[0362] An additional handle 46, located, for example, on the upper part of the housing 40, in particular on the longitudinal side wall 43, can contribute to convenient handling of the vacuum cleaner housing 11.

[0363] P 31384 / PCT

[0364] August 22, 2025 A carrying handle or handle 42G may also be provided on the rear wall 42, for example a section 42H of the rear wall 42 which extends to the hook receptacle 86.

[0365] For example, section 42H of the rear wall 42 is inclined at an angle to the other areas of the rear wall 42.

[0366] A free end area of ​​section 42H engages in the recess 84 of the cover 70.

[0367] The suction hose 13 can be wound up into a hose reel 13W. The hose reel 13W can, for example, be completely contained within storage space 50, for instance, if the suction hose 13 has a volume suitable for storage space 50 when wound up.

[0368] An advantageous concept for the suction device 10 provides that the storage space has a hose winding passage arrangement 200 with at least one hose winding passage opening 201 through which at least one turn 13A, 13B or 13C of the hose winding 13W can protrude from the storage space 50 to an outside of the suction device housing 11.

[0369] The hose winding opening 201 is preferably located on the front 21 of the suction device. Thus, the suction hose 13 can project with one or more coils 13A, 13B, or 13C in front of the suction device housing 11 towards its front 21 without obstructing an operator carrying the suction device 10 by the handle 60. For example, the operator can carry the suction device 10 such that one of the longitudinal sides 23 is positioned against their body.

[0370] Instead of a single hose winding passage opening 201, which extends essentially across the entire transverse width of the front 21 of the suction device 10 and / or between the longitudinal side walls 43 of the housing upper part 40, separate hose winding passage openings 251 A and 251 B of a hose winding-

[0371] P 31384 / PCT

[0372] August 22, 2025. A hose passage arrangement 250 is provided, preferably located adjacent to the longitudinal sides 23 or the longitudinal side walls 43 on the front 21 of the suction housing 11. For example, a hose section of one coil 13A, 13B, or 13C can protrude from the storage space 50 through one hose coil passage opening 251A, and another hose section of the same coil 13A, 13B, or 13C can project back into the storage space 50 from the outside of the suction housing 10 through the other hose coil passage opening 251B. Such a storage arrangement of the suction hose 13 is shown schematically, for example, in Figure 1, where the individual coils of the suction hose 13 are not shown.

[0373] The windings 13A, 13B and 13C are advantageously wound or coilable around the winding aid or projection 51, wherein they are arranged in the area of ​​an outer surface of the teat housing 11, for example the rear 22, near the hook 85 in the storage space 50, while the windings 13A, 13B and 13C project in front of a side of the teat housing 11 opposite the hook 85, for example the front 21 of the teat housing 11.

[0374] It is possible that one coil 13D, for example, rests on the bottom 44A of the receiving chamber 50, while the other coils 13A, 13B and 13C protrude in front of the receiving chamber 50 through the at least one hose winding passage opening 201 or the hose winding passage openings 251 A and 251 B.

[0375] The height of the hose winding passage openings 201, 251 A, 251 B in relation to a height extension in which the windings 13A - 13C are stacked on top of each other is dimensioned such that the stacked or piled windings 13A - 13C fit into a respective hose winding passage opening 200, 251 A or 251 B.

[0376] P 31384 / PCT

[0377] August 22, 2025 For example, the hose winding passage openings 251 A, 251 B are designed as elongated holes or receiving slots or receiving shafts with respect to the height extension of the stacked or layered windings 13A - 13C and / or have a longitudinal shape.

[0378] The hose winding opening 201 has a bottom section 202 and an insertion opening 203 open towards the top 25 of the suction housing 11, through which the suction hose 13 or turns 13A - 13C of the hose winding 13W of the suction hose can be inserted into the hose winding opening 201. The turns 13A - 13C are supported laterally by transverse sides 204 and 205 of the hose winding opening 201.

[0379] The base 44A and the circumferential holding device 47H, in particular the circumferential wall 47, advantageously form a receiving recess, in particular annular, in the middle area of ​​which the projection 51 protrudes as a dome or winding aid, so that the suction hose 13 can be wound into the storage space 50 from the top 25, so to speak, with one or more turns 13W protruding or being able to protrude through the hose winding passage opening 201 to the front 21.

[0380] The circumferential holding device 47H, in particular the circumferential wall 47, is not completely closed, but rather U-shaped when viewed from the top surface 25. For example, the circumferential holding device 47H or the circumferential wall 47 has a base leg 48, e.g., a base wall, which is provided on the rear side 22. Storage openings 54 for, for example, the power cord 26 are arranged on the base leg 48, e.g., the base wall or rear wall. However, the storage openings 54 are not suitable for receiving the suction hose 13, i.e., the suction hose 13 has a cross-section that is larger than the cross-section of the storage openings 54.

[0381] The hose is located on the rear section of the circumferential holding device 47H or the circumferential wall 47, the base leg 48 or the base wall.

[0382] P 31384 / PCT

[0383] August 22, 2025, opposite the winding passage opening 201, which is provided for the suction hose 13. Between the hose winding passage opening 201 and the base leg 48, side legs 49 of the circumferential holding device 47H or the circumferential wall 47 extend, which extend along the longitudinal sides 23.

[0384] The side legs 49 are designed to support or brace the suction hose 13 or the hose reel 13W of the suction hose 13 in the storage compartment 50 on opposite sides. The side legs 49 are positioned opposite each other and define the storage compartment 50 in the area of ​​the longitudinal sides 23.

[0385] The transverse sides 204, 205 of the hose winding passage opening 201 are formed by the free end regions of the side legs 49 facing away from the rear wall or the base leg 48. Thus, a transverse width 207 of the hose winding passage opening 201, extending between the transverse sides 204, 205, corresponds approximately to a transverse width of the suction housing 11 in the region of its upper surface 25. Therefore, the hose winding 13W, wound with a large winding radius, can be supported at the transverse sides 204, 205 and arranged in the hose winding passage opening 201.

[0386] A filling height 206 of the hose winding passage opening 201 extending between the insertion opening 203 and the bottom area 202 is suitable to accommodate several layers or windings or turns of the hose winding 13W of the suction hose 13, for example three turns.

[0387] Advantageously, the arrangement of the hose winding opening 201 is such that the suction inlet 12 is located outside the storage space 50, in front of and / or below the hose winding opening 201. Thus, the suction hose 13 can, for example, be connected to the suction inlet 12 at one longitudinal end and extend through the hose winding opening 201 into the storage space 50. Within the storage space 50, the suction hose 13 is wound, preferably with several turns, 13A, 13B,

[0388] P 31384 / PCT

[0389] August 22, 2025. The coils 13C and / or 13D can be arranged wound into a hose coil 13W, wherein, for example, one or more of the coils 13A, 13B, and 13C can project through the opening 201 in front of the storage space 50. The coil 13D is preferably arranged or can be arranged completely within the storage space 50. It is possible that the suction inlet 12 and / or the longitudinal end of the suction hose 13 held at the suction inlet 12 is arranged, for example, in an interior space of a coil 13A, 13B, 13C projecting through the opening 201 in front of the storage space 50.

[0390] For example, the suction inlet 12 is arranged on a front wall section 41 A of the front wall 41. A schematically depicted socket 65 for supplying power to the machine tool H and / or schematically depicted operating elements 66 for operating the suction device 10 can also be arranged on the front wall section 41 A, for example, for switching the suction device 10 on and off, for setting a suction power of the suction device 10, or the like.

[0391] In principle, it is also possible that, as an alternative to arranging the suction inlet 12 outside the storage space 50, a suction inlet is provided inside the storage space 50, for example on the floor 44A, which is not shown in the drawing.

[0392] For example, a step 41 B is arranged between the front wall section 41 and the base 44A, which is suitable for holding the coil 13D in the storage space 50. The coil 13D can therefore be arranged completely in the storage space 50, being supported at the front 21 of the suction cup housing 11 by the step 41 B.

[0393] In the hose-winding passage arrangement 250, the hose-winding passage openings 251 A and 251 B are designed identically. A fill level 256 of the hose-winding passage openings 251 A, 251 B corresponds to the fill level 206. Thus, a bottom area 252 of the hose-winding passage openings

[0394] P 31384 / PCT

[0395] August 22, 2025 251 A, 251 B are equidistant from their insertion opening 253 as the bottom area 202 is from the insertion opening 203. However, the hose-winding passage openings 251 A, 251 B are narrower than the hose-winding passage openings 201 and have a transverse width 257 between their transverse sides 254 and 255, which is smaller than the transverse width 207. However, since the two hose winding passage openings 251 A, 251 B are arranged close to the side legs 49 or next to the side legs 49 of the circumferential holding device 47H or the circumferential wall 47, the suction hose 13 with a large winding radius of its hose winding 13W can still be arranged in the storage space 50, whereby it can protrude through the two hose winding passage openings 251 A, 251 B with several turns or layers.

[0396] It is only indicated by way of example that, for instance, a hose winding passage opening 251 C can be arranged on a longitudinal side 23 of the suction device 10, wherein the suction hose 13 can then, for example, be led through the hose winding passage opening 251 A from the storage space 50 to the outside and via the hose winding passage opening 251 C back into the storage space 50, indicated in Figure 7 with a suction hose 13 shown in dashed lines.

[0397] A further hose winding opening 251 D on the longitudinal side 23 of the suction device 10 allows at least one coil 13A, 13B and / or 13C to be led out of the storage compartment 50 through the hose winding opening 251 C and back into it via the other hose winding opening 251 D. Thus, it becomes clear that one or more coils of the suction hose 13 can also protrude from a longitudinal side 23 of the suction device 10, which is schematically indicated in Figure 9.

[0398] Similarly, at least one hose winding passage opening 251 E and / or 251 F can also be arranged on the rear side 22. Thus, for example, at least one turn 13A, 13B and / or 13C can pass through one of the hose winding passage openings 251 A or 251 B on the front side 21.

[0399] P 31384 / PCT

[0400] August 22, 2025, the suction hose is led out of the suction housing 11 and back into the storage room 50 via the hose winding passage opening 251 D located on the rear 22, indicated by a suction hose 13 shown in dashed lines in Figure 8.

[0401] It is also possible for the suction hose 13 to project from both the front 21 and the rear 22 of the suction device 10, as is also shown in Figure 8. For example, the suction hose 13 can project with at least one turn through the two hose-winding openings 251 A and 251 B on the front 21 in front of the suction device housing 11, and with at least one turn through the hose-winding openings 251 E and 251 F in front of the rear 22. It is possible that some of the turns of the suction hose 13 project through the front hose-winding openings 251 A and 251 B, while other parts of the turns project through the rear hose-winding openings 251 E and 251 F in front of the suction device housing 11.

[0402] It is also possible for one and the same coil of the suction hose 13 to protrude both at the front through the two hose winding openings 251 A and 251 B, and at the rear through the hose winding openings 251 E and 251 F in front of the suction housing 11. Thus, the suction hose 13 can be stored in the storage compartment 50 in an elongated form and / or with elongated sections. A long suction hose 13 can also be stored in the storage compartment 50 with only a few coils wound, in which case coil sections protrude from both the front and rear of the suction housing 11.

[0403] The cover 70 can have a recess 71 A, for example on the front wall 71, which is opposite the hose winding passage opening 201 in the cover position AP of the cover 70 and increases the receiving cross-section for receiving the suction hose 13 of the hose winding through the opening 201.

[0404] P 31384 / PCT

[0405] August 22, 2025. The cover 70 is able to hold the suction hose 13 in the storage compartment 50 in the covered position AP and thus forms a holding device 270. For example, a side or wall side of the cover 70 facing the base 44 is designed as a holding contour 271. Figure 4 shows, for example, that the cover 70 opposite the base 44A prevents the suction hose 30 from being removed from the storage compartment 50.

[0406] It is advantageous that the cover 70 completely covers the receiving chamber 50 in the AP cover position. However, it is also possible to provide a cover that only covers parts of the receiving chamber 50, for example, a cover 70A or 70B shown schematically. Covers 70A and 70B are, for example, smaller than cover 70.

[0407] For example, the cover 70A extends less far towards the hose winding opening 201. The cover 70A is missing, for example, a section 74A of the cover wall 74, shown in dashed lines.

[0408] For example, the cover 70B does not extend as far towards the hook 85. For example, the cover 70B only covers part of the hook receptacle 86 or does not extend to the hook receptacle 85. The cover 70B is missing, for example, a section 74B of the cover wall 74, shown in dashed lines.

[0409] The cover 70, 70A, 70B forms a movable hold-down device 270, which only fulfills its function as a hold-down device in the covered position AP. This facilitates the insertion of the suction hose 13 into the storage compartment 50.

[0410] An alternative or supplementary embodiment is shown schematically in Figure 10. For example, hold-down legs 272, which project inwards from the circumferential wall 47, in particular the side legs 49, towards the storage chamber insertion opening 59, form hold-down devices 270. For example, the sides of the retaining legs facing the floor 44A are

[0411] P 31384 / PCT

[0412] August 22, 2025, the retaining leg 272 is designed as hold-down contours 271. For example, several coils of the suction hose 13, which are schematically shown as circles in Figure 10, are stacked on the floor 44A, but cannot, so to speak, get out of the storage space 50 because they are held in the storage space 50 by the two hold-down contours 271 on opposite sides of the storage space 50.

[0413] Alternatively or in addition to the retaining legs 272, a cover 272 can be provided which, like the cover 70, is pivotable, pluggable, or otherwise movable between a covered position AP (shown in dashed lines) and an open position OP (shown in solid lines). In the open position OP, the cover 274 exposes the storage compartment insertion opening 59. In the drawing, the cover 274 is shown in an open position OP close to the covered position AP, but can be moved even further away from the storage compartment insertion opening 59. For example, the cover 274 can be adjusted between the covered position AP and an open position OP by means of a pivot bearing 275, in which the cover 274 fully or almost fully exposes the storage compartment insertion opening 59.

[0414] The cover 274 also forms a hold-down device 270 and has, for example, a hold-down contour 271 on its underside. This preferably aligns with the hold-down contours 271 of the hold-down legs 272 when the cover 274 is in the covered position AP. Thus, the suction hose 13 is completely closed in the storage space 40. However, not visible in Figure 10, the suction hose 13 can be arranged with one or more turns in the hose-winding passage openings 251 A - 251 E shown, for example, in Figures 7 and / or 8 and / or 9, so that one or more turns of the suction hose 13 can protrude from the storage space 50 as shown in Figure 10. Thus, the suction hose 13 can be arranged and stored in a compact manner in the storage space 50, but can still have a great length by allowing one or more coils of the suction hose 13 to protrude in front of the storage space 50.

[0415] P 31384 / PCT

[0416] August 22, 2025. It is also possible that the dome 51 has an outer circumferential contour, for example as shown in Figure 11, which is essentially rectangular but rounded at the corners, and forms a winding aid 51 B. For example, the circumferential wall 52B of the winding aid 51 B runs essentially straight opposite the side legs 49 of the circumferential wall 47. Thus, for example, elongated channels 47K are formed into which the suction hose 13 and, in particular, longitudinal sections of individual hose coils 13W of the suction hose 13 can be inserted.

[0417] To hold sections of the hose coil 13W (one of which is shown schematically, but as a closed coil) in these channels 47K, guide contours or clamping contours 52D, 52E are provided, which force the suction hose 13 into a, for example, coiled, S-shaped, or similarly non-straight path in the channels 47K. The clamping contours 52D are, for example, arranged opposite the circumferential wall 52 on the side legs 49, and the clamping contours 52E are, for example, arranged on a section of the circumferential wall 52 opposite each side leg 49. For example, the clamping contours 52D, 52E are designed as projections that are shaped and / or arranged to narrow the channel 47K.In particular, with respect to the longitudinal course of a channel 47K between two clamping contours 52E, a clamping contour 52D is arranged so that the suction hose 13 is loaded from one clamping contour 52E towards the other clamping contour 52D and vice versa.

[0418] Storage compartment 50 is further equipped with mounting points 67, 68 for accessories 67A, 68A. Accessory 67A is, for example, a nozzle. Accessory 68A is, for example, a brush. Accessories 67A, 68A can be connected, for example, to a free longitudinal end of the suction hose 13 instead of the machine tool H.

[0419] The mounting receptacles 67, 68 are designed as plug-in receptacles into which the accessory parts 67A, 68A can be plugged.

[0420] P 31384 / PCT

[0421] August 22, 2025 The holding fixtures 67A, 68A are arranged on the perimeter wall 47, in particular on the side legs 49.

[0422] The retaining receptacle 67 is, for example, arranged on the side leg 49 adjacent to the cover 70. The retaining receptacle 68, on the other hand, is arranged on a longitudinal end region of the other side leg 49 facing away from the cover 70, in particular in a corner region or longitudinal end region near the base leg 48. Both retaining receptacles 67, 68, and advantageously also the accessories 67A, 68A received in the retaining receptacles 67, 68, are wholly or partially covered by the cover 70 in its covered position AP. It is possible that the accessories 67A, 68A received in the retaining receptacles 67, 68 are held in the retaining receptacles 67, 68 by the cover 70 in its covered position AP.

[0423] The arrangement of the accessory part 68A or the holding device 68 at the corner area between the side leg 49 and the base leg 48 is advantageously space-saving, as a curve of a hose coil 13A, 13B or 13C can pass over it into the receiving space 50.

[0424] The retaining or plug-in receptacles 67, 68 are open upwards towards the top 25 of the vacuum unit 10 and / or in the same way as the storage compartment insertion opening 49 when the vacuum unit 10 is in its operating position, with its underside 24 resting on a surface. Therefore, the accessories 67A, 68A can be inserted or plugged into the retaining receptacles 67, 68 from the top 25 of the vacuum unit 10.

[0425] The power cord 26 is preferably held on the vacuum cleaner housing 11 by holders 26A. For example, the power cord 26 is laid on the floor of one of the longitudinal channels 47K and runs from a mains connection with a device connector 26B, to which the power cord 26 is electrically connected or connectable to the electrical components of the vacuum cleaner 10, for example the suction unit 15 and / or the control elements 66 and / or the socket 66, to the storage opening 54.

[0426] P 31384 / PCT

[0427] August 22, 2025 The electrical appliance connector 26B is designed, for example, as an IEC connector or an IEC socket. Preferably, securing means, such as a clamping screw 26C and / or a clamping bracket 26D or the like, are provided on the appliance connector 26B to secure the power cord 26, in particular a cable connector 26E of the power cord 26, which is connected or connectable to the appliance connector 26B.

[0428] Advantageously, the device connector 26B is arranged in a recess 26F of a wall that delimits the storage space 50 or is located on the projection 51. Preferably, the device connector 26B is arranged in a recess 26F of the respective wall, for example, on the circumferential wall of the projection 51. The cable connector 26E is partially or preferably completely received in the recess 26F when it is connected to the device connector 26B. Advantageously, the device connector 26B does not project in front of the wall having the recess 26F, but is flush with this wall or is recessed behind this wall in the direction of the recess 26F.

[0429] An additional module 320 can be arranged in the storage compartment 50 if required. The additional module can be detachably attached to a bracket 300 of the suction device 10. The bracket 300 is, for example, arranged on the projection 51. Preferably, the bracket 300 is arranged on one side of the projection 51 opposite the hose winding opening 201, so that the bracket 300, and thus the additional module 320 arranged on the bracket 300, are opposite the hose winding opening 201.

[0430] The add-on module 320 has a module housing 325, which encapsulates electrical components of the add-on module, such as electrical contacts, cables, switching elements, or the like. In particular, the module housing 325 has a cubic shape.
