A vacuum cleaner head has a housing having a turbine chamber and a connection tube connecting the turbine chamber to a suction aggregate of a vacuum cleaning machine. The housing has a suction opening and the turbine chamber has an inflow opening communicating with the suction opening. Air flow is sucked in by the suction aggregate through the suction opening and the inflow opening. A rotary roller brush is mounted in the housing close to the suction opening such that bristles of the roller brush project outwardly through the suction opening when the brush is in a lowest position. An air turbine is mounted in the turbine chamber such that the air turbine is acted upon by the air flow passing through the inflow opening. A device is provided for axially displacing the air turbine relative to the inflow opening when the power uptake of the roller brush is reduced.

Vacuum cleaner head

A vacuum cleaning device has a suction nozzle with a housing and an air guide chamber. The housing has an inflow opening. The suction nozzle further has a brush roller rotatably mounted adjacent to the inflow opening inside the housing. A bearing shaft is mounted within the housing. An air turbine is rotatably supported on the bearing shaft and driven in rotation by the suction air stream generated with the vacuum cleaning device. The bearing shaft has a longitudinal axis and the axis of rotation of the air turbine coincides with the longitudinal axis. The air turbine rotates at a different rpm than the bearing shaft. A planetary gear system is operatively connected between the air turbine and the bearing shaft. The planetary gear system is positioned at least partially within the air guide chamber within the vicinity of a first axial end face of the air turbine such that the air turbine at least partially axially overlaps the planetary gear system. A drive member is operatively connected to the planetary gear system for driving the brush roller.

Vacuum cleaning device with a suction nozzle

The switching device for actuating an electrical drive motor of a working tool has a housing and a microswitch, including a switching pin for switching on and off the microswitch, positioned in the housing. An actuating element for actuating the switching pin is positioned in the housing so as to be accessible from the exterior of the housing. A switching mechanism with a plurality of members including the switching pin and the actuating element is provided. One of the members of the switching mechanism is moveable into an operating position in which the microswitch is operative and into a switched-off position in which the microswitch is switched off. A locking element for arresting the moveable member in the operating position is provided. A releasable safety stop is releasably connected to the housing. The locking element rests on the releasable safety stop. When the releasable safety stop is released, the moveable member is switched into the switched-off position.

Microswitch

An adjustment mechanism for a friction drive unit. To adjust the contact pressure between the friction wheel and a cooperating wheel of the friction drive unit, one of these wheels is mounted on a lever that is pivotable about a pivot axis. A cam that applies the contact pressure rests against the lever. The spacing of the cam relative to the pivot axis of the lever is variable.
