Abstract

L'invention concerne un aspirateur comprenant un article (70) de nettoyage, solidaire d'un corps (10) doté d'un point d'aspiration (20). L'aspirateur est pourvu de deux contenants collecteurs interchangeables (40, 60) destinés à être montés en alternance dans un évidement (15) formé dans le corps de façon à permettre l'utilisation de l'aspirateur en mode humide ou sec. Les récipients collecteurs (40, 60) comprennent chacun un corps (43, 61) généralement cylindrique dans lequel un tuyau (45, 63) d'admission s'étend à partir de la base vers le haut, et une unité séparatrice (50, 65) pour chacun d'entre eux. Un contenant collecteur (40), fonctionnant en mode humide, comprend une unité séparatrice (50) constituée d'un tuyau (51) qui est la prolongation du tube (45) d'aspiration. Une cloison (54) repose sur l'entrée ouverte du tuyau et une chicane annulaire oblique (46) se trouve éventuellement à proximité d'un raccordement entre les deux tuyaux (45, 51). L'autre récipient (60) collecteur, fonctionnant en mode sec, comprend une unité séparatrice (65) dotée d'une bague (67) de fixation reliée à un élément filtre tubulaire (66). Son extrémité inférieure est fermée par une chicane (68) qui se trouve face à l'extrémité ouverte (63a) du tuyau d'admission (63) et à une certaine distance.
