Top portion for a canister-type suction apparatus

A cleaning apparatus, especially a suction nozzle, for a vacuum cleaner. The apparatus has a joint pan connected with an apparatus housing, and a joint head connected with an apparatus connecting piece for a handle of the vacuum cleaner. The joint parts are parts of a joint, especially a tilting joint, and delimit a gap of movement of the joint. At least one of the joint parts is a part which can be detached from the apparatus part respectively associated therewith, which detachable part is provided at least partially with a fiber packing which projects into the gap of movement. The fiber packing includes closely packed fibers which are arranged at least substantially at right angles on an associated supporting surface of the joint part.

Cleaning apparatus

A cleaning element, particularly a brush for incorporation in a vacuum cleaner nozzle, has a shaft with bristles which shaft has its ends journalled in the housing of a cleaning implement by means of bearings and shock absorbers. In order to give a compact construction and to reduce the spacing between the ends of the shaft and the side walls of the implement housing, the bearings with bearing housings project into openings in the ends of the shaft.

Cleaning implement

A cleaning implement, especially vacuum cleaner, with a brush for incorporation in a vacuum cleaner nozzle, which has a shaft with bristles mounted at its ends in bearings in an implement housing. In order to restrict penetration of hairs and like foreign bodies, picked up by the bristles, into the bearings, the shaft is provided with at least one transverse circumferential depression. A longitudinal groove is provided so that hairs and threads collected on the shaft can be gathered and cut.
