A CLEANER HEAD ASSEMBLY FOR A VACUUM CLEANER

摘要

The invention provides a cleaner head assembly for a vacuum cleaner comprising a cleaner head body (10) pivotably atachable to a main body (102) of a vacuum cleaner (100) and a brush housing (110) pivotably mounted on the cleaner head body (10), the brush housing (110) having a suction opening (112) and a brush bar (26) mounted therein, wherein the brush housing (110) comprises a sealed unit connectable to a vacuum cleaner air inlet (30) via a conduit (32) separate from the cleaner head body (10). The arrangement allows the brush housing (110) to be doubly articulated with respect to the main body of the vacuum cleaner (100) whilst the suction opening (112) remains in a horizontal plane without requiring th use of seals which must be able to accommodate the articulation of the brush housing (110).
