Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sauggerät für Reinigungszwecke mit einem einen Saugeinlaß (42) aufweisenden Schmutzsammelbehälter (52), der über einen Saugkanal (16) mit einem Saugaggregat (34) in Strömungsverbindung steht, und mit einem Filter (50), der zwischen dem Schmutzsammelbehälter (52) und dem Saugaggregat (34) angeordnet ist, wobei der Filter (50) einen Rahmen (58) aufweist, an dem ein flächig ausgestaltetes Filterelement (56) gehalten ist. Um das Sauggerät derart weiterzubilden, daß auf konstruktiv einfache Weise eine Filterabreinigung möglich ist, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß das Filterelement (56) im unbelasteten Zustand relativ zum Rahmen (58) eine Wölbung (60,98) ausbildet, wobei die Richtung der Wölbung (60) durch Umkehrung der durch den Filter (50) hindurchtretenden Luftströmung (54,96) umkehrbar ist.

The invention relates to a suction device for cleaning purposes, having a dirt collecting container (52) having a suction inlet (42), which is in flow communication with a suction unit (34) via a suction channel (16), and a filter (50) disposed between the dirt collecting container (50). 52) and the suction unit (34) is arranged, wherein the filter (50) has a frame (58) on which a flat configured filter element (56) is held. In order to further develop the suction device in such a way that a filter cleaning is possible in a structurally simple manner, it is proposed according to the invention that the filter element (56) form a curvature (60, 98) in the unloaded state relative to the frame (58), the direction of the curvature ( 60) is reversible by reversing the air flow (54, 96) passing through the filter (50).
