  • Patent number: 11399680
    Abstract: A hand-guide cyclone vacuum cleaner includes: a device body which has a drive unit for generating a suction air flow; a suction container, which is connected to the device body, for receiving suction material; and an operating element arranged at one end of the suction container opposite an end of the suction container on which the device body is arranged. The operating element is rotatable from a first position into a second position and from the second position into the first position. The device body is inseparably connected to the suction container in the first position. The device body is separably connected to the suction container in the second position.

  • Patent number: 8650705
    Abstract: A floor-type vacuum cleaner includes a housing and rollers attached to the housing that are configured to provide movement of the housing. Each roller is disposed on a roller axle so as to be rotatable. At least one of the rollers includes a rigid hub and an air-filled, rubber, resilient, damping tire. Alternatively, at least one of the rollers has a damping property and includes alternating concentric layers of rigid and flexible components, with air being disposed between at least one of the rigid components and at least one of the flexible components.
