Vacuum Cleaner Assembly
Patent No. EP3723569 (titled "Vacuum Cleaner Assembly") was filed by Aktiebolaget Electrolux on Dec 14, 2017. The application was issued on Jul 2, 2025.
Patent Summary
A vacuum cleaner assembly comprises a rechargeable stick-type vacuum cleaner and a charging dock. The vacuum cleaner features an elongated body configured to be releasably positioned in the charging dock such that the body extends along a first direction. To ensure rigid and safe positioning, the assembly includes a magnetic assembly configured to fixate a first portion of the vacuum cleaner to the charging dock. Additionally, a second fixating assembly is provided to fixate a second portion of the vacuum cleaner to the charging dock, where the second portion is arranged at a distance from the first portion along the first direction. This dual-fixation configuration alleviates alignment burdens and prevents dock displacement during vacuum cleaner insertion or removal.
