20090056054 | UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER - An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface includes a base unit with a brush motor and a brush roller drivable by the brush motor. An air conduit leads from the base unit to a dust collection container and includes an interface and a first section downstream of the interface. The first section includes a hose or a hose-and-wand assembly and is arranged externally on an upper body of the vacuum and is also securable to the upper body. A receiving structure on the upper body is configured to receive the first section and is removable from the receiving structure in a region of the interface so as to enable a vacuuming mode of operation that is independent of the base unit. A turning-off device is operable to turn off the brush motor when the first section is removed from the receiving structure. | 03-05-2009 |
20090056055 | UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER - 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. | 03-05-2009 |
20090056056 | UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER - An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface includes an upper body with a dust collection container received therein and a base unit with a front portion with respect to the travel direction of the vacuum cleaner. At least one electrical load is disposed in the front portion of the base unit. A carriage is provided to move the base unit on the surface. The vacuum cleaner includes a tilting joint operable to provide relative tilting between the upper body and the base unit about a tilting axis that is horizontal when the vacuum cleaner is in a position of use. At least one cable is routed between the upper body and the at least one electrical load. A plurality of cable ducts are disposed in the vicinity of the tilting axis and configured to receive the at least one cable. | 03-05-2009 |
20090056059 | UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER - An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface includes an upper body having a dust collection container received therein, a base unit and a carriage configured to provide movement of the base unit at the surface. A motor-fan unit is disposed in the upright vacuum cleaner outside the upper body and is unit configured to create a partial vacuum on the surface. The upper body and base unit are connected with a tilting joint such that the upper body is tiltable relative to the base unit about a tilt axis that extends horizontally when the upright vacuum cleaner is in a position of use. A swivel joint is disposed between the upper body and the base unit. The swivel joint is configured to change a direction of travel of the upright vacuum cleaner in response to twisting of the upper body. The swivel joint includes a tubular section articulated to the base unit and a bearing housing disposed rotatably about the tubular section. The bearing housing is received in a receiving structure of the upper body. | 03-05-2009 |
20090056061 | UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER - 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. | 03-05-2009 |
20090056068 | UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER - An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface. The vacuum cleaner includes an upper body having a dust collection container, a base unit having a suction mouth and a carriage for moving the base unit on the surface. A motor-fan unit is included and is disposed outside the upper body. The motor-fan unit is operable to create a partial vacuum on the surface.
