A vacuum cleaner nozzle having a first nozzle part (11) which has brush elements (23) or the like facing the floor and a second nozzle part (25) which is movably arranged with respect to the first part (11) and which has at least one suction opening (27) through which air flows to an outlet tube (13) connected to the nozzle. The second nozzle part (25) is supported by the first nozzle part (11) by means of a resilient element (31). The resilient element maintains the second part (25) above the floor when the nozzle is moved on a hard surface and allows the second part (25) to move toward the floor when the nozzle is moved on a soft surface, such as a soft carpet.

Vacuum cleaner nozzle

A coupling device for releasably connecting a suction hose (15) to a vacuum cleaner housing (10) includes a tube connection piece (13) attached to the suction base and adapted to be inserted into a cylindrical socket (11) in the vacuum cleaner housing. The tube connection piece (13) is rotatably attached to a coupling sleeve (16) which carries a latch (17) which is releasably connected to the vacuum cleaner housing (10) in a non-rotatable position.
