The vacuum cleaner suction tool has an upper housing part (1) to which a sole plate (2) is attached via screw fixings (3), with pressure springs (6) acting between the sole plate and a brush carrier plate (4) with at least one front brush rail, adjusted vertically via a switch lever (7). The upper housing part has stop elements (8) cooperating with the outer edge of the brush carrier plate, for limiting the tipping movement of the latter about an axis defined by the switch lever.
