Abstract
A vacuum cleaner comprising a housing having an outer surface. A bumper strip projects outwardly from the housing and extends along the outer surface of the housing. A retaining element projects outwardly from the housing and extends along the outer surface of the housing adjacent the bumper strip. The retaining element overlaps the bumper strip. The bumper strip contacts the retaining element and is elastically deformable to slide with respect to the retaining element. The bumper strip forms a convex curved structure that bulges outwardly from the housing.

A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a housing and an elastic impact bumper strip with two longitudinal sides, said strip being located on at least some sections of the periphery of the housing, the first longitudinal side being retained against the housing and the second longitudinal side projecting from the external surface of the housing under no tension, wherein the housing has a retaining element which holds the second longitudinal side of the impact bumper strip under elastic pre-tension against the housing.
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a housing having an outer surface;
- a bumper strip projecting outwardly from the housing and extending along the outer surface of the housing;
- and
- a retaining element projecting outwardly from the housing and extending along the outer surface of the housing adjacent the bumper strip, the retaining element overlapping the bumper strip, the bumper strip contacting the retaining element and being elastically deformable to slide with respect to the retaining element, the bumper strip forming a convex curved structure that bulges outwardly from the housing.
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a housing having an outer surface;
- a bumper means projecting outwardly from the housing and extending along the outer surface of the housing to cushion the vacuum cleaner when contacting other objects;
- and
- a retaining means projecting outwardly from the housing and extending along the outer surface of the housing adjacent the bumper means and retaining at least a portion of the bumper means between the retaining means and the housing, the retaining means permitting the bumper strip to slide with respect to the retaining means while remaining in contact with the retaining means.
