Abstract
The present invention relates to a device in the form of a suction nozzle (10) for an urban or industrial aspirator (1), preferably self-propelled, comprising a rigid hose or tube (1000), said rigid hose or tube comprising gripping means (100, 200, 300) that comprise a first gripping element (110, 210, 310) in the form of a handle, a support element (120, 220, 320) serving as a lever, and a second gripping element (130, 230, 330) and optionally a base (101, 201, 301).
Claims27
A device in the form of a suction nozzle (10) for an urban or industrial aspirator (1), preferably self-propelled, comprising a rigid hose or tube (1000), said rigid hose or tube comprising gripping means (100, 200, 300) that comprise a first gripping element (110, 210, 310) in the form of a handle, a support element (120, 220, 320) serving as a lever, and a second gripping element (130, 230, 330) and optionally a base (101, 201, 301).
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first gripping element (110, 210, 310) has both its distal and proximal ends directly or indirectly connected to the rigid hose or tube (1000) of the nozzle (10), and preferably by the base (101, 201, 301).
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gripping means (100, 200, 300) are secured to a sliding rail (5) on which they can move, said rail preferably being positioned longitudinally and parallel to the central axis (a) on the outer periphery of the rigid hose or tube (1000) of the suction nozzle (10).
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first gripping element (110, 210, 310) in the form of a handle is positioned longitudinally on the hose of the suction nozzle (10).
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the second gripping element (130, 230, 330) is positioned at the end of the first gripping element (110, 210, 310) toward the distal end (2) of said nozzle (10), while the support element (120, 220, 320) serving as a lever is positioned toward the proximal end (3) of said nozzle (10).
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the support element (120, 220, 320) is positioned with an angle comprised between 95° and 135° relative to the first gripping element (110, 210, 310) in handle form.
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the support element (120, 220, 320) has an outwardly curved shape, in particular over its distal part.
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the support element (120, 220, 320) has, from the base (101, 201, 301), a height of at least 200 mm, preferably at least 250 mm.
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gripping means (100, 200, 300) are equipped with a control switch, preferably rotating, for the suction turbine.
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gripping means (100, 200, 300) are symmetrical so as to allow ambidextrous use.
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gripping means (100, 200, 300) further comprise a third gripping element (350) used to reinforce the structure, and which connects the support element (320) to the nozzle (10) and preferably to the base (301) of the gripping means (300).
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the nozzle (10) is equipped with a shoe (80) made from a rigid or non-rigid material whereof the distal end (2) has a design allowing an air intake through orifices (40).
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the means allowing the introduction of air through the orifices (40) are made up of or comprise sweeping elements such as fringe or bristles (41).
The device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is provided with maintaining or support means (30) that comprise coupling/uncoupling means (31, 32) that allow fast and easy coupling/uncoupling.
An apparatus, called urban or industrial aspirator, that is self-propelled or optionally on which a user is seated, comprising a device as described according to any one of the preceding claims.
A portable device, characterized in that it is provided with maintaining or support means (30) , such as a strap, shoulder strap or harness, that comprise coupling/uncoupling (31, 32) means that allow fast and easy coupling/uncoupling.
