A floor tool for a vacuum cleaner comprises a cleaner head (7, fig 2) and a duct assembly (8, fig 2). The cleaner head (7, fig 2) includes a suction inlet 15 and an outlet 16 and the duct assembly (8, fig 2) carries fluid from the outlet 16 to a wand (5, fig 1) connectable to the duct assembly (8, fig 2). The duct assembly (8, fig 2) includes a front conduit 9 and a rear conduit 10 with the front conduit 9 being connected to the cleaner head for rotation about a first axis (A-A, fig 3) and the rear conduit 10 being rotatable relative to the front conduit 8 about a second axis B-B which is perpendicular to the first axis (A-A, fig 3). When the floor tool is resting on the floor and the rear conduit 10 extends upwardly, the front 9 and rear 10 conduits arc around and over the second axis B-B. The duct assembly may further include wheels (12, 13, fig 2) which are preferably fixed to a chassis 11 that is connected to and rotatable with the front conduit 9. |
