  • Patent number: 8099830
    Abstract: A handle arrangement on a vacuum cleaner hose has an inner bushing non-rotatably attached to one end of the hose and is inserted in a handle tube and axially fixed therein such that it can rotate. Electrical leads are guided outwards from the hose and the inner bushing in a radial direction through a wall opening of the handle tube and into the cavity of a handle part. The handle part is firmly connected at both ends to the handle tube. The electrical leads are fixed so as to form a length reserve loop in the cavity. A receiving space is provided on the inner bushing, into which electrical leads from the length reserve loop are shifted when relative rotations take place between the hose and the handle tube. The possible rotation angle is delimited by stops according to the lead length available in the length reserve loop.

  • Patent number: 8006721
    Abstract: An anti-kink device for hoses with an external corrugated structure, in particular for vacuum cleaner hoses, such hoses comprising at least one external groove-like channel which runs in a helical manner. The anti-kink device is formed by a wire coil made from spring steel which is screwed into the groove-like channel from one hose end and is fixed to the hose end. This anti-kink device is applied over the entire hose length or only partially at points of the hose which are at risk of kinking.

  • Patent number: 7837157
    Abstract: A kink protector for a line which is led outwardly through a wall opening in a connecting sleeve of a hose or a pipe. The kink protector has a mounting cap which encloses the line, and a support helix which is integral with the cap and surrounds the line and which is resilient in bending. An outlet stub is provided at the connecting sleeve and is connected with the wall opening and into which the mounting cap can be pushed with at least axial fixing of the line in mechanically positive and detenting manner for the line.

  • Patent number: 7805806
    Abstract: A handle arrangement on a suction hose equipped for spray extraction has a bushing non-rotatably attached to one end of the hose, and is inserted in a handle tube and axially fixed therein such that it can rotate in the tube. An elastic liquid line is guided outwards from the hose and the inner bushing in a radial direction through a wall opening of the handle tube and into the cavity of a handle part. The handle part is firmly connected at both ends to the handle tube. The liquid line is fixed so as to form a length reserve loop in the cavity. A receiving space is provided on the inner bushing, into which the liquid line from the length reserve loop is shifted when relative rotations take place between the hose and the handle tube.
