Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2554937A] A tool 11 for a surface cleaning apparatus comprises a floor head, a connecting member (200, fig 9) for connecting the tool to a surface cleaning apparatus and a passage (203, fig 11) for carrying dirt-laden air from the floor head to the apparatus. The floor head and connecting member are pivotally connected to each other about an axis A and the connecting member includes an articulated joint having first and second parts (201, 202, fig 9) which are pivotable relative to each other about an axis B, wherein axis B extends transversely to axis A. The tool includes an electrical cable passage through which electrical cables (204, fig 10) may extend to provide an electric connection between the apparatus and an electrical component in the floor head, wherein a first part (250, fig 12) of the electrical cable passage is provided in or by the first part of the articulated joint, characterised by the first part of the electrical cable passage terminating at an opening (260, fig 12) which is positioned above the axis B and which opening extends upwardly away from the floor head, said opening communicating with a second part (270, fig 12) of the electrical cable passage which is provided in or by the second part of the articulated joint, wherein the opening and a portion of the first part of the electrical cable passage adjacent the opening are positioned in or substantially in the same plane.
