Abstract: A robotic vacuum cleaner for autonomously cleaning surfaces. The robotic vacuum cleaner comprises an appliance housing and a side arm. The side arm is movably mounted on the appliance housing. A brush element is disposed on the side arm. The side arm projects, in a first position, in front of the appliance housing in part and, in a second position, is received by the appliance housing. The side arm comprising a first arm element having a first end and a second end. The first arm element is movably mounted in the appliance housing at the first end. The side arm comprises a second arm element having a first end and a second end. The second arm element is movably mounted in the appliance housing at the first end and is movably connected to the second end of the first arm element at the second end.

Abstract: A bagless vacuum cleaner includes a dust container including a chromogenic material so as to have a controllable transparency.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a housing having at least one holding device configured to receive a vacuuming tool in a parked position and at least one illumination device associated with the holding device.

Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface includes a base unit, a carriage configured to move the base unit on the surface, and an upper body having a dust collection container disposed therein. The upper body is supported so as to be tiltable relative to the base unit and is lockable in a parked position in which the vacuum cleaner has a substantially upright position when standing on the surface. A motor-fan unit is configured to provide a partial vacuum at the surface. An air conduit connecting the base unit and the dust collection container includes an interface and a section formed by a hose or an assembly of the hose and a wand. The section is connected downstream of the interface and is disposed at least partially externally on the upper body. The section is configured to enable a vacuuming mode of operation that is independent of the base unit. A tubular member forming at least part of a transition between the hose and the upper body. The tubular member is swivelably disposed on the upper body.

Abstract: A suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner that can be connected to a suction pipe and/or a suction tube of the vacuum cleaner includes a nozzle part that can be connected to the suction pipe or the suction tube by means of a tubular connection part. A dust sensor is arranged in the flow path of the vacuum cleaner, the signals thereof being evaluated by a battery-operated electronic control device that can be activated by a low-pressure switch. During operation, said control device controls a display device displaying the dust flow. The control device, the low-pressure switch, the display elements displaying the dust flow, and a battery compartment for receiving the batteries are arranged in a housing formed on the upper side of the tubular connection part. The dust sensor is arranged beneath the housing, inside the upper region of the connection part, in the dust air stream.

Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface includes a base unit, a carriage configured to provide movement of the base unit on the surface and an upper body including a dust collection container therein. A substantially U-shaped elongated receiving structure is recessed into at least one side surface of the upper body and at least a portion of an upper surface of the upper body. The vacuum cleaner includes an air passageway with an interface and a section formed by a hose or an assembly of the hose and a wand, the section being connected downstream of the interface. The section is externally disposed on the upper body with at least the hose being receivable on the receiving structure. The section is disconnectable in a region of the interface so as to enable a vacuuming mode of operation that is independent of the base unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner, that can be connected to a suction pipe and/or a suction tube of the vacuum cleaner. Said suction nozzle (2) comprises a nozzle part that can be connected to the suction pipe or the suction tube of the vacuum cleaner by means of a tubular connection part (2.2). A dust sensor (11) is arranged in the flow path of the vacuum cleaner, the signals thereof being evaluated by a battery-operated electronic control device that can be activated by a low-pressure switch. During operation, said control device controls a display device (9,16) displaying the dust flow. The control device, the low-pressure switch, the display elements (9,16) displaying the dust flow, and a battery compartment (8) for receiving the batteries are arranged in a housing (7) formed on the upper side of the tubular connection part (2.2). The dust sensor is arranged beneath the housing (7), inside the upper region of the connection part (2.2), in the dust air stream.
