(54) | Suction brush for vacuum cleaner |
(57) A suction brush for a vacuum cleaner includes blocking members mounted front and
rear, to a brush body bottom surface to seal off the periphery of a suction inlet
formed thereon and to generate a high suction force between a surface to be cleaned
and the suction inlet during cleaning, wherein the front blocking member is pivotably
mounted to the brush body when one end thereof is connected thereto, and includes
blocking arms to maintain the high suction force between the suction inlet and the
surface to be cleaned while being alternately brought into close contact therewith
when the brush body moves forwards or backwards; and the first blocking arm includes
a plurality of air suction apertures to restrict passage of air flowing into the suction
inlet while the first blocking arm is in close contact with the surface to be cleaned
when the brush body moves forwards.
