(54)	Suction port assembly for vacuum cleaner

(57) A suction port assembly (200) for use in a vacuum cleaner (100) is foldable so that it can clean a surface being cleaned in close contact. Accordingly, the cleaner can easily clean the cleaning surface even with a slope or angle, while maintaining a suction efficiency of the cleaner constantly. Additionally, damage to the suction port assembly due to collision with the cleaning surface can be avoided.
