Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2484146A] A vacuum cleaner of the stick-vac type, comprises a handheld vacuum cleaner 3 which is attached to an elongate, rigid wand 5 and which is fluidly connected to a cleaner head 7 provided at the end of the wand. The cleaner head 7 is connected to the wand via a mechanical steering couple for directionally steering the cleaner head in plane parallel contact with the floor as the wand 5 is rotated about its axis (C, fig 4). The head 7 and wand 5 may be coupled for relative rotation along a scarf joint (figure 6) or via an elbow joint (figure 3) which is preferably a hinged elbow joint. The vacuum cleaner may include a pistol grip handle (35, fig 2)
