Abstract

The present invention relates to methods for the production of an improved integral connection of a retaining plate to the wall of a vacuum cleaner filter bag. According to a first variant, the retaining plate is not applied directly on the wall of the vacuum cleaner filter bag but rather a textile material is disposed between retaining plate and the wall. The connection of the retaining plate and the wall of the vacuum cleaner filter bag is thereby effected via the textile material. According to a second variant, in regions between retaining plate and wall of the vacuum cleaner filter bag, a film made of a thermoplastic material is disposed between wall of the vacuum cleaner filter bag and retaining plate. The connection of the retaining plate and the wall of the vacuum cleaner filter bag is thereby effected via the film. According to a third variant, the retaining plate is connected directly to the wall of the vacuum cleaner filter bag. The wall is thereby formed, at least in the region in which the retaining plate is applied, as film made of special thermoplastic materials. The present invention relates likewise to vacuum cleaner filter bags in which the retaining plate is connected integrally to the wall of the vacuum cleaner filter bag according to the preceding principles.

Abstract

The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner filter bag comprising a first bag wall (104) comprising a filter material and a second bag wall also comprising a filter material and a base (103). The first and the second bag wall are joined to the base along one part of the periphery thereof and are joined together along the remaining part of the periphery. The connection between the first bag wall, the second bag wall and the base is formed such that the vacuum cleaner filter bag is completely closed. The filter material of the first and the second bag walls is made of non-woven material. Said vacuum cleaner filter bag comprises an opening (102) through which the air which is to be filtered can pass through into the vacuum cleaner filter bag, and a retaining plate. Said vacuum cleaner filter bag is characterised in that the first and/or the second bag wall comprises at least five folds (101).
