Canister Vacuum Cleaner Rear Contact Layout for Stable Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Canister vacuum cleaners lack stability in storage positions, leading to potential falls and damage, and require additional mounting parts for suction hoses, increasing production costs and complexity.
Innovation Solution
A canister vacuum cleaner design with at least five contact areas on the rear side for improved stability in storage, where these areas can distribute weight evenly and serve as holders for suction tubes without additional mounting parts, using axially symmetric and arcuate contact surfaces for enhanced stability and ease of manufacturing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the canister vacuum cleaner is placed on its rear side in storage position, then it can be stored upright on wheels and lid, but it lacks stability and may fall over
Solution Approach 1:
The rear side of the housing is divided into multiple contact areas (at least five) with contact surfaces that distribute the weight of the vacuum cleaner when stored. This segmentation of the contact surface into discrete stable points prevents the device from tipping over during storage.
2Ease of operation
If additional mounting parts are added to hold the suction hose, then the suction tube can be securely mounted, but production costs and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The contact areas on the rear side of the housing serve dual functions: they provide stable support surfaces for storing the vacuum cleaner upright, and they simultaneously serve as mounting locations for the suction tube holder. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate mounting structures, reducing part count and production costs.

AI summary
The invention relates to a canister vacuum cleaner (1) with a canister vacuum cleaner housing (2) in which there are at least five contact areas (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e) on the rear side. As a result, the advantage can be achieved that the canister vacuum cleaner (1) has particularly good stability in the storage position.
