VACUUM CLEANER NOZZLE

A vacuum cleaner nozzle having a nozzle housing having a lower surface, an air inlet opening located on the lower surface of the nozzle housing, and a brush selectively mountable in the air inlet opening and adapted to be rotated to contact a surface being cleaned. The brush includes an axially elongated shaft, a first brush end adapted to be mounted at a first air inlet opening end by moving it generally along the axial direction, and a second brush end adapted to be mounted at a second air inlet opening end by moving it in a lateral direction generally perpendicular to the axial direction. The second brush end is maintained in a recess at the second air inlet opening end by a releasable blocking element selectively positioned over the recess. The blocking element is adapted to be selectively releasable by an operator without the use of a tool.
