A tool for a surface cleaning apparatus

A tool for a surface cleaning apparatus, including:

• a floor head;
• a connecting member configured to connect the tool to the surface cleaning apparatus;
• and
• a passage for carrying dirt-laden air from the floor head to the apparatus,
• wherein the floor head and the connecting member are pivotally connected to each other about an axis A,
• wherein the connecting member includes an articulated joint having first and second parts which are pivotable relative to each other about an axis B, wherein axis B extends transversely to axis A,
• wherein the tool includes an electrical cable passage through which electrical cables may extend to provide an electric connection between the apparatus and an electrical component in the floor head,
• wherein a first part of the electrical cable passage is provided by the first part of the articulated joint, wherein the first part of the electrical cable passage includes a portion which extends towards the floor head and to a lateral side of said passage for carrying dirt-laden air, said portion being defined at least partially by a cover member which is positioned laterally to said passage for carrying dirt-laden air.
