Abstract: The vacuum cleaner conduit includes first and second rigid conduit parts; a hinge device configured to allow a pivoting of the first and second rigid conduit parts between unfolded and folded configurations; a locking member configured to lock the first and second rigid conduit parts in the unfolded configuration, the locking member being movably mounted between locking and release positions; and an unlocking button slidably mounted between a rest position and an unlocking position, and configured to displace the locking member into the release position. The unlocking button and the hinge device are located on the same side of the vacuum cleaner conduit which is substantially diametrically opposite to the side of the vacuum cleaner conduit where the locking member is located.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a suction pipe; a waste separation device; a main housing wherein a suction device including a motor fan is housed; and a gripping handle, the main housing including a first housing portion having a first branch in which the suction pipe is housed, a second branch forming a front part of the gripping handle and a third branch partially defining a reception chamber in which the suction device is housed, and a second housing portion placed in a rear portion of the vacuum cleaner, the second housing portion having a primary branch forming a rear portion of the gripping handle and a secondary branch partially defining the receiving chamber.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a suction duct; a waste separating device fluidly connected to the suction duct; a main body in which a motor fan is housed; a gripping handle; a control member which is disposed on the gripping handle (4)-and which is configured to control an operation of the motor fan according to a first operating mode; and an activation member which is operable by a user and which is configured to control an operation of the motor fan in a second operating mode, the vacuum cleaner being configured such that a maximum rotational speed of the motor fan in the second operating mode is higher than a maximum rotational speed of the motor fan in the first operating mode, the activation member being arranged opposite the control member.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a main body in which a motor fan is housed; a control device that can be operated by a user; an activation device that can be operated by a user; and an electronic control unit that is configured to control the operation of the motor fan in a first operating mode when the control device is actuated by a user and to control the operation of the motor fan in a second operating mode when the activation device is actuated by a user. The electronic control unit includes an electronic board equipped with a first contact and a second contact, the control device being configured to activate the first contact when the control device is operated by a user, and the activation device being configured to activate the second contact when the activation device is operated by a user.
