Abstract: A vacuum cleaner hose assembly ( 3; 3', 3", 3"') has a flexible hose (5) that can be retracted by suction applied by the vacuum cleaner (1). The forward end of the hose (5) extends within a rigid cleaning wand (6 ,6’, 6’’, 6’’’ ) and is attached to it close to its forward end so that a part of the hose can be stowed within the wand. The wand has two sections (64 and 65, 64' and 65'), (64" and-65", 64"' and 65"') telescopically slidable one within the other so that the wand can have an extended length or a shorter retracted length. Both sections of the wand have an open wall structure with one or two longitudinal struts (66 and 67, 72 ) and ( 73, 66', 73', 66", 73" ) and one or two open windows ( 70, 76, 70", 76") in order to reduce the weight of the wand.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner hose (2) has an inner flexible section (25) slidable within an outer flexible section (20). A rear end fitting (28) on the inner section prevents it being pulled from the outer section and seals with a coupling (24) at the forward end of the outer section (20) when fully extended. The inner section (25) has a natural extended length and is retracted for storage by closing a valve at the forward end of the hose (2) so that suction from the cleaner (1) causes a reduced pressure within the hose sufficient to retract the inner section. The inner section (25) is retained within the outer section (20) by engaging a coupling (33) at the forward end of the inner section with the coupling (24) at the forward end of the outer section.

Abstract: A vaccum cleaner has a hose (10, 30, 30') that is retractable in length by the application of reduced pressure from the vacuum cleaner. After use, the free end (14, 21, 33) of the hose is occluded so that pressure falls within the hose and it is retracted in length. The hose is restrained in its shortened length before suction is turned off. The hose in its retracted state may be stored on or off the vacuum cleaner.

Abstract: A helical reinforcement member (3) forms the sole structural element within a tubular sleeve (2) of a vacuum cleaner hose (1). The reinforcement member (3) comprises three wires (5) to (7), at least one of which is of a solid high tensile steel, within an outer PVC jacket (4). The sleeve (2) is also of PVC and is bonded to the jacket (4). The wires (5) to (7) serve a dual structural and electrical purpose, both supporting the hose (1) and providing an electrical path along it, such as to a switch or cleaning tool.

Abstract: A hose fitting (7) for use with a range of different vacuum cleaners has a tapered expansible component (11) to the rear end of which is fitted a rigid ring (12) with an internal screw thread (36). A third, expansion component (13) with an external screw thread (44) is screwed into the ring (12) and has an externally-tapered forward end (40), which engages the internal taper on the expansible component (11). A hose assembly (5) is fitted with a vacuum cleaner (1) by inserting the fitting (7) in the suction inlet (2) on the cleaner and tightening the expansion component (13) so that the taper on the expansion component engages and expands the forward part of the expansible component within the suction inlet. The grip with the inlet (2) is enhanced by two annular gripping teeth (17) around the expansible component (11).

Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner has a hose assembly (10, 10') attached at one end to the base (1, 1') of the cleaner. The hose assembly is stowed alongside the handle (6, 6') and is retained by the free end (19) of the assembly engaging a fixture (21) on the handle. The hose assembly (10, 10') comprises a rigid wand (12, 12') and a flexible hose (11, 11') with a natural extended length. The hose can be retracted to a shorter length using the power of the vacuum cleaner by closing a valve (20, 20') on the wand (12, 12') to prevent air flow along the hose assembly and produce a reduced pressure. The wand (12, 12') is stowed by sliding inside or outside the hose (11, 11') and has a flange (18, 18') at one end that engages and seals with a flange (15, 15') at the free end of the hose when the wand is extended.

Abstract translation: 直立式真空吸尘器具有在一端连接到清洁器的底座（1,1'）的软管组件（10,10'）。 软管组件被放置在手柄（6,6'）的旁边，并且由组件的自由端（19）保持在与把手上的固定装置（21）相接合的位置。 软管组件（10,10'）包括具有自然延伸长度的刚性棒（12,12'）和柔性软管（11,11'）。 通过关闭杆（12,12'）上的阀（20,20'），可以使用真空吸尘器的动力将软管缩回到较短的长度，以防止空气沿软管组件流动并产生减压。 通过在软管（11,11'）的内部或外部进行滑动而将魔杖（12,12'）收起，并且在一端具有凸缘（18,18'），该法兰（18,18'）与法兰（15,15'）接合并密封在 当魔杖延伸时软管的自由端。
