Patent ID: 8918957

Claim:
A vacuum cleaner nozzle comprising: a nozzle body; a suction plate having an elongated suction inlet, the suction plate being pivotally connected to the nozzle body about a first pivot axis that extends parallel to an elongated direction of the suction inlet; a nozzle outlet device having, at an outlet end thereof, a tubular opening, which tubular opening is configured to be connectable to a tubular component of a vacuum cleaner; and, a flexible hose interconnecting the elongated suction inlet with the nozzle outlet device such that the suction inlet is in fluid communication with the tubular opening of the nozzle outlet device; wherein the nozzle outlet device is connected to the nozzle body by a link element comprising a forked first element and a second element, wherein the flexible hose extends within the forked first element and a first end of the forked first element is pivotally connected to the nozzle body on either side of the flexible hose about a second pivot axis that is parallel with the first pivot axis, and the second element is connected to a second end of the forked first element about a third pivot axis that is perpendicular to the first and second pivot axes and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis extending from the first end of the forked first element to the second end of the forked first element.
