Abstract
A filter bag arrangement for a vacuum cleaner includes a bag body of filter material, and a stiffening element in the form of a filter mounting plate with an inlet opening of the bag therein. The vacuum cleaner includes a housing defining a chamber into which the bag may be inserted, a lid to cover the chamber, and a filling pipe stub that is insertable into the inlet opening. Plural individual mounting elements are provided at the outer edge of the stiffening element and are inserted into corresponding individual receivers of the housing so as to spatially position and fix the inlet opening of the filter bag arrangement relative to the housing of the vacuum cleaner.
Claims20
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a vacuum cleaner housing that defines a bag-receiving chamber therein and that has a plurality of individual bag-positioning receivers;
- a housing cover movably arranged relative to said housing to be selectively movable between a closed position and an open position to respectively close and open said chamber;
- a filling pipe stub having a pipe stub end facing into said chamber;
- and
- a filter bag arrangement that is removably arranged in said chamber:
- wherein:
- said filter bag arrangement includes a filter bag body and a stiffening element connected to said filter bag body, and has an inlet opening communicating into said filter bag body;
- said filling pipe stub is connected to and communicates into said inlet opening of said filter bag arrangement at least when said housing cover is in said closed position;
- said stiffening element, at a perimeter thereof, includes a plurality of individual protruding mounting elements that are configured, positioned and arranged to be respectively inserted and engaged into said individual bag-positioning receivers of said housing in an insertion direction corresponding to a direction in which said filter bag arrangement is inserted into said bag-receiving chamber;
- and
- said mounting elements respectively engaged in said bag-positioning receivers spatially position said inlet opening of said filter bag arrangement within said bag-receiving chamber.
