(54) Attachment for a vacuum cleaner


(57) An attachment for a vacuum cleaner comprises a suction head having a tubular portion (1) for connection to a vacuum cleaner pipe and a flared skirt (2) formed with a downwardly depending substantially rectangular flange (3). The flared skirt (2) defines a plurality of channels (5) each of which communicates with a respective opening (6) of the flange. Each channel (4) may be brought into or out of communication with the tubular portion (1) by moving a respective closure member or stopper (7) out of or into the channel. In an alternative embodiment the tubular portion is rotatably received in a socket of the skirt and is formed with a suction inlet which may be brought into communication with a selected one of the channels by rotating the tubular portion to an appropriate angular position.
