LEVEL INDICATOR FOR INDICATING THE FILLING LEVEL OF A FILTER BAG AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A VACUUM CLEANER

摘要

The invention relates to a level indicator (1) for indicating the filling level of a filter bag of a vacuum cleaner. Said level indicator comprises a indicator piston (3) which is displaced by the pressure difference on the filter bag. Said indicator piston (3) is configured as a membrane piston (4) with a rollable soft membrane (5) and with a piston skirt (7) that is pretensioned in a rest position of the indicator piston (3). In order to achieve an as accurate measuring as possible, the piston skirt (7) is mounted in such a way that it can tilt and the membrane (5) maintains the indicator piston (3) in a centered position.
