Cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner

Abstract

Provided is a cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner. The cleaner head is connectable to a suctioning airflow to clean a surface. The cleaner head comprises an electrode for generating an electrostatic field between the electrode and the surface to be cleaned to apply a force to cause dirt particles to move towards the electrode and into a flow path of the airflow, thereby facilitating entrainment of the dirt particles within the airflow. Also provided is a vacuum cleaner comprising the cleaner head and a vacuum motor for driving a suctioning airflow, the cleaner head being connected to the suctioning airflow.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
