Suction attachment comprising a rotatable foot and a displaceable brush

Abstract

A suction attachment for a vacuum cleaner. The suction attachment comprises a foot, a suction opening extending in an imaginary plane, and a connection member for connecting the foot to a suction channel of the vacuum cleaner. The foot is provided with a brush, which is displaceable by means of an adjusting device from a first position, in which the brush is recessed in the suction opening, to a second position, in which the brush protrudes from the suction opening. The foot is rotatable with respect to the connection member about an axis of rotation, which extends substantially perpendicularly to the imaginary plane, from a first position to at least a second position, and the adjusting device includes a coupling member by means of which the brush is coupled to the connection member, the coupling member holding the brush in its first position, in the first position of the foot, and the coupling member holding the brush in its second position, in the second position of the foot. In this manner, the brush can be displaced in the foot in a light and convenient manner by simply rotating the foot about the axis of rotation. In a preferred embodiment, the foot is symmetrical in shape and can be rotated from a first position, in which the foot extends perpendicularly to a displacement direction X of the foot and the brush is in its first position, to a second position, in which the foot is rotated through 180° with respect to the first position and the brush is in its second position, and to a third position and a fourth position, in which the foot is rotated through 90° and 270°, respectively, with respect to the first position, and the brush is in its second and first position, respectively. In the third and the fourth position of the foot, the suction attachement has a comparatively small width and is suitable for cleaning narrow spaces or corners.
