Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0321592A1] In a hand-controlled sweeping apparatus, with a rotary driven sweeping roller (31), and, arranged between dirt container (9) and blower (26), a filter housing (15), the filter housing (15) is pivotable, between a lowered and a raised position, about an axis (23) lying on its front side, the distance of which from the centre of the inlet opening (18) of the filter housing (15) is smaller than from the centre of its outlet opening (17). By virtue of this movement of the filter housing (15), the dirt can be shaken out of the filter (16) situated in the filter housing (15) and fall into the dirt container (9). Moreover, in the raised position of the filter housing (15), no air is drawn through the filter housing (15) by the blower (26). <IMAGE>
