Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an improved wand for connecting a vacuum cleaner suction nozzle having an electric motor therein to a suction hose. A wand of this type normally serves as both a rigid handle for manipulating the nozzle and as a conduit for the passage of air from the nozzle to the hose. In addition, the present wand is provided with a sheath of preferably electrical insulating material for retaining an electric cord for supplying current to the motor in the nozzle from conductors carried by the suction hose.
