Claim:
1. A vacuum nozzle for use with a vacuum cleaner having a vacuum hose to vacuum first and second planar surfaces that are between about 90 degrees to about 180 degrees to each other and a corner formed between said first and second planar surfaces, comprising: (a) a vacuum hose receptacle having a central axis adapted to removably connect to the vacuum hose, wherein said central axis is perpendicular to both the first and second planar surfaces; (b) a nozzle member having first and second wing members pivotably connected to each other, each wing member having a corresponding opening adapted to face said first and second planar surfaces, respectively, and a corresponding joint element having an axis of rotation the same as said central axis of said vacuum hose receptacle connected to said vacuum hose receptacle, said openings of said nozzle member are in direct fluid communication with said vacuum hose receptacle; wherein said joint elements of said first and second wing members overlap each other and rotate relative to each other along said axis of rotation such that the opening of said first wing member is adapted to face said first planar surface and the opening of said second wing member is adapted to pivotably face said second planar surface at any angle between about 180 degree to about 270 degree from said first planar surface and said openings of said first and second wing members at said overlapping joint elements are adapted to face said corner.
