Abstract:
The present invention provides a vacuum cleaner accessory to be attached to a vacuum cleaner by means of a vacuum cleaner hose. In a first operative configuration, the accessory is designed to facilitate vacuuming of spaces that are accessible from any given direction. An upper tube member (20) is operatively connected at its upper end (22) to a vacuum cleaner hose (10), and at its lower end (23) to an elongate lower tube member (30). The elongate lower tube member (30) has a remote end (31) that defines a contoured intake opening (33) through which air, dust, water, and/or debris are suctioned. In a second operative configuration, the accessory is designed primarily to access floor level horizontally accessible spaces. A transverse sweeper member 60, which includes a downwardly facing transverse intake opening 66, is operatively connected to the remote end (31) of the lower tube member (30). A handle member (40), which is releasably secured to the upper tube member (20), extends approximately perpendicularly relative to the substantially horizontal surface (90) to be vacuumed.
