Patent ID: 8099830

Claim:
A handle arrangement for a vacuum cleaner hose comprising: electrical leads passing through the handle arrangement; an inner bushing which is fixedly attachable to the one end of the vacuum cleaner hose such that it cannot rotate relative to the vacuum cleaner hose; a handle tube, in which the inner bushing is inserted and is sealed therein and fixed such that it can rotate but cannot be displaced in the axial direction relative to the handle tube, wherein an electrical connection exists through the entire length of the electrical leads even in the case of relative rotations between the inner bushing and the handle tube, wherein the electrical leads are guided outwards from and the inner bushing in an approximately radial direction through a wall opening of the handle tube and into a cavity of a handle part which is connected to a hose-side end of the handle tube, wherein the electrical leads are fixed in the handle part so as to form a length reserve loop in the handle part, wherein a receiving space is provided on the outer circumference of the inner bushing, which receiving space is located adjacent the wall opening of the handle tube and into which electrical leads from the length reserve loop can be shifted in the case of relative rotations between the inner bushing and the handle tube, and wherein relative rotation between the inner bushing and the handle tube is delimited by stops according to the lead length in the length reserve loop.
