Abstract: A device for receiving a suction hose that connects a nozzle of a vacuuming device to a central unit of the vacuuming device. The device is has at least one holding device that can be arranged on the central unit of the vacuuming device, wherein the suction hose is able to be fitted in the at least one holding device such that the hose can be accommodated in a secure and stable manner. This advantageously makes it possible for the user of the vacuuming device to be able to adapt the length of the suction hose as required to the task currently to be performed. Here, the unused part of the suction hose is stored in a particularly secure and stable manner in the device or in cavities of the device that can be formed between the at least one holding device and a rear part. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a vacuuming device having a central unit that is connected to a suction hose having a nozzle.

Abstract: An automatic filter cleaning system, e.g., for cleaning a filter in a vacuum cleaner. The cleaning system has an electrical motor that drives/rotates, directly/indirectly, a piston which directly/indirectly opens a filter cleaning valve. The filter cleaning valve may open for a filter cleaning back flow air stream that thus cleans the filter. The piston is spring loaded and a piston guide ensures that the energy accumulated in the spring and piston is released during the rotation of the piston, thereby shortly opening the filter cleaning valve.

Abstract: A hydraulic steering device, in particular for vehicles, is disclosed, having a housing in which two sliders are arranged to move relative to one another and together form at least one adjustable throttle, a restoring device for restoring the two sliders to their neutral position being provided, one of the two sliders being driveable and the other of the two sliders being in operative connection with a measuring device. In such a steering device it is desirable to improve the correlation between steering torque and flow amplification; in particular it is desirable to linearize the relationship better. For that purpose the measuring device is arranged in a flow path closed in itself, and operates as a pump, while an open flow path runs past the closed flow path from an inlet connection arrangement to an outlet connection arrangement.

Abstract: A hydraulic steering device is disclosed, having a housing in which an inner control slider and an outer control slider are arranged so that they are rotatable relative to one another and which together are arranged as alterable flow path means between a supply connection arrangement and a working connection arrangement. In such a steering device it is desirable to produce a remote control facility of simple construction. To that end, each control slider is connected to a driving slider, and between the two driving sliders there is created at least one pressure chamber which is acted upon by fluid under pressure, and a change in volume of the pressure chamber effects a relative displacement of the two control sliders.
