ARTICULATED JOINT FOR ELECTRIC HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE AND ELECTRIC HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE WITH JOINT

摘要

PURPOSE: An articulated joint for an electric household appliance and the electric household appliance with the joint are provided to make a user clean with keeping an upper body part straight during operating the household appliance and to secure an optimal bending angle necessary for inserting an intake nozzle under beds or tables without bending the body of the user. CONSTITUTION: An articulated joint for tubes of an electric household appliances is composed of a plurality of axially hollow modular elements(6) having a male end(9) and a female end(11); a coupling device(16) for joining the modular elements to each other; and a resilient device(27) fitted to at least two adjacent modular elements. The resilient device is deformable resiliently under the action of a force with simultaneous rotation of the modular element with respect to the adjacent modular element and the shape of the joint is deformed from a straight line to a curved line and resiliently returned into the straight configuration when the force does not act.
