  • Publication number: 20190167057
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing vacuum cleaner suction tube with at least one inner tube, at least one outer tube, at least one actuating mechanism and at least one end sleeve inserted into the outer tube, wherein the end sleeve is disposed between the inner tube and the outer tube, wherein the end sleeve has at least one end sleeve recess, wherein the outer tube has at least one outer tube recess, and wherein the inner tube has a plurality of snap-in depressions. The vacuum cleaner suction tube produced provides a reliable and leak-free connection to an attachment element when using any type of plastic for the attachment element is achieved by the axial movement of the end sleeve relative to the outer tube being blocked by the actuating mechanism and inwardly directed radial movement of the actuating mechanism relative to the outer tube is blocked by the inner tube.

  • Patent number: 10159392
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner suction tube, having an inner tube received in an outer tube, is provided with an actuating mechanism having a grip structure provides a minimized risk of blocking. A clamping element has a form-fit connection with a pair of clamping wedges, so that both of the clamping wedges can be simultaneously moved with a single movement of a clamping element that is connected to the grip structure so that the clamping element is moved away from the longitudinal axis of the vacuum cleaner suction tube by sliding the grip structure out of the locking position, and both clamping wedges are simultaneously lifted out of engagement with retaining recesses of the inner tube by moving the clamping element away from the longitudinal axis of the vacuum cleaner suction tube, whereby sliding of the inner tube is enabled relative to the outer tube.

  • Patent number: 9351621
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner suction pipe with at least one inner and at least one outer pipe, and at least one locking device, the locking device being movable by manual actuation, the locking device having a toothed rack, and in the locking position the rack being kept engaged to a toothed strip of the inner pipe, as a result of which the position of the inner pipe is fixed relative to the outer pipe. The locking device is movable into a release position by axial displacement relative to the outer pipe, and in the release position, the rack can be disengaged from the toothed strip by a relative force between the outer pipe and inner pipe, without the effect of a spring force, by the flanks of the teeth of the toothed strip pushing the flanks of the teeth of the rack upward.

  • Patent number: 8727383
    Abstract: A telescopic vacuum cleaner suction tube (1) having an outer tube (2) and an inner tube (3) with snap-in depressions (7). The inner tube is telescopically arranged in the outer tube. The suction tube also includes an antitwisting mechanism (4d; 16) and an interlocking device with a snap-in element (15) that is disengaged from a snap-in depression (7) by an actuating element (5) situated about diametrically opposite thereof. The interlocking device includes a spring (6) that positively encompasses at least the inner tube (3) and engages the snap-in element (15) into the nearest snap-in depression (7) of the inner tube (3). The interlocking device and telescoping tubes ensure that the tubes are always securely interlocked and able to withstand shock-like compressive forces, namely while simultaneously providing for an ergonomic handling.

  • Patent number: 8205911
    Abstract: A telescoping tube system for a vacuum cleaner, with an inner jacket tube, an outer jacket tube, an inner suction tube and a cable, the inner jacket tube having a smaller cross section than the outer jacket tube so that the inner jacket tube and the outer jacket tube form a telescoping jacket channel, the inner suction tube being located inside of the jacket channel, and the cable being guided within the jacket channel and outside of the inner suction tube. In the telescoping tube system, losses of suction force by the intake of secondary air are reduced to a minimum and reliable cable routing is ensured by there being an outer suction tube, the outer suction tube and the inner suction tube forming an essentially closed suction channel within the jacket channel.
