Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008100222A1] A vacuum cleaner nozzle has a front edge (10) and a rear edge (11), an underside (12) intended to face a floor or some other substructure to be vacuum-cleaned. The underside (12) is provided with one front (13) and two (14, 15) rear rest surfaces for supporting of the nozzle on the floor or similar, the front rest surface (13) being positioned centrally along the front edge (10) and the two rear rest surfaces (14, 15) being positioned separate from each other and symmetrically along the rear edge (11). In order to design the nozzle such that it can be used as an all-round nozzle for carpets as well as smooth floors, without comprising any movable part and being able to be produced at low cost and still to give the desired cleaning effect in use, the rest surfaces (13, 14, 15) comprise lint pickups (13', 14', 15') having inclined fibres that project from the rest surfaces, arranged such that the fibres of the front rest surface (13) incline towards the rear edge (11) while the fibres of the rear rest surfaces (14, 15) incline towards the front edge (10), and the nozzle is free from other rest surfaces that might get in contact with a smooth, hard floor.
