Abstract
A vaccum cleaner (100) comprises a main body (3), separating apparatus, a flexible hose (20) having one end for coupling to an input of the separating apparatus and the other end terminating in a connecting part (40), a rigid pipe (9, 10) being selectively connectable to the main body (3) (see Figure 2A) so as to provide a handle for the cleaner when connected to the main body (3), or a wand when released from the main body (3). The pipe (9) has an opening at each of first and second ends (16, 17) and a gripping portion (11) at the first end (17) for allowing a user to grasp the pipe (9). The hose connecting part (40) is connectable to the opening at either end (16, 17) of the pipe (9). Thus, the pipe (9) can be more conveniently used during a cylinder mode of cleaning.
Claims (13)
1. A hose and wand assembly for a vacuum cleaner, which cleaner comprises a main body having an inlet to separating apparatus, the assembly comprising a flexible hose having one end for coupling to the inlet of the separating apparatus and the other end terminating in a connecting part, a rigid pipe being selectively connectable to the main body so as to provide a handle for the cleaner when connected to the main body, or a wand when released from the main body, the pipe having an opening at each of first and second ends and having a gripping portion at the first end for allowing a user to grasp the pipe, the hose connecting part being connectable to the opening at either end of the pipe.
2. A hose and wand assembly according to claim 1 wherein the openings at the first and second ends of the pipe are of the same shape.
3. A hose and wand assembly according to claim 1 wherein the openings at the first and second ends of the pipe are of different shape, the cleaner further comprising an adapter having an inlet which is connectable to the first end of the pipe and an outlet which fits the hose connecting part.
4. A hose and wand assembly according to claim 3 wherein the adapter is articulated.
5. A hose and wand assembly according to any one of the preceding claims further comprising an accessory tool having an outlet which is connectable to the openings at the first and second ends of the pipe.
6. A hose and wand assembly according to claim 5 wherein the outlet of the accessory tool is also connectable to the hose connecting part.
7. A hose and wand assembly according to claim 5 or 6 wherein the accessory tool has an outlet which has sleeves of two different diameters.
8. A hose and wand assembly according to claim 7 wherein the outlet of the tool comprises a stepped region, each of the sleeves forming part of the stepped region, with the sleeves decreasing in diameter in a direction inwardly from the outlet.
9. A hose and wand assembly according to claim 5 or 6 wherein the hose connecting part has an inlet which has sleeves of two different diameters.
10. A hose and wand assembly according to any one of the preceding claims in the form of an upright vacuum cleaner.
11. A handle for a vacuum cleaner comprising a rigid pipe which is selectively connectable to a main body of the cleaner so as to provide a handle for the cleaner when connected to the main body, or a wand when released from the main body, the pipe having an opening at each of first and second ends and having a gripping portion at the first end for allowing a user to grasp the pipe, the openings being of the same shape so that either opening can connect to a connecting part of a flexible hose for connecting to a separating apparatus of the cleaner.
12. A vacuum cleaner including the hose and wand assembly or the handle according to any one of the preceding claims.
13. A hose and wand assembly, a handle for a vacuum cleaner or a vacuum cleaner substantially as described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.
