CLEANER HEAD FOR A CLEANING APPLIANCE

摘要

A cleaning appliance (1) comprises dirt and dust separating means (8), a motor (6) arranged to drive a fan (5) for generating suction air flow, a selectively-operable switch (23) for energising the motor and a cleaner head (13). The cleaner head has a driveable agitator in the form of a brush bar (15) and a dedicated motor (18). When the main vacuum motor (6) is switched on, the brush bar motor (18) is energised so that the brush bar is automatically driven on start-up of the cleaner. This enables the superior cleaning performance achievable with a brush bar to be automatically achieved, without the user having to remember to select operation of the brush bar.
