A furniture guard and bearing pad structure for use with a vacuum cleaner nozzle. The nozzle defines a laterally enlarged front portion. The furniture guard and bearing pad structure is defined by a bumper element which is preformed to closely fit the irregular shape of the nozzle. The bumper is provided with a plurality of T-section connectors retained in outwardly opening slots in the peripheral wall of the nozzle. Bearing pads are formed integrally with the bumper and, in the illustrated embodiment, include projecting portions received in recesses in the nozzle for accurately locating the bearing pads. In the illustrated embodiment, the sidewalls of the nozzle are provided with openings receiving portions of the vacuum cleaner projecting from the base of the nozzle. A rotatable beater brush is rotatably carried by the projecting portions. In the illustrated embodiment, the projecting portions terminate outwardly flush with the sidewalls of the nozzle cover portion and the bumper overlies the projecting portion of the base across the openings of the cover portion.
