Zusammenfassung:A cleaner head 10 for a vacuum cleaner comprises a suction inlet 20 defined in the lower face of a housing 11 and a suction passageway 20A through the housing 11, the suction passageway 20A being in fluid communication with the suction inlet 20. A rotatable sealing element 40 is located at a front of the housing 11. The rotatable sealing element 40 has a rotational axis 41 which is parallel to the lower face of the cleaner head 10 and the housing 11at least partially surrounds the rotatable sealing element 40. An agitator 60 is positioned rewards of the rotatable sealing element 40. The suction passageway 20A is located between the agitator 60 and the rotatable sealing element 40. A shielding member 50 may be located between the agitator 60 and the rotatable sealing element 40 with the suction passageway 20A being in fluid communication with a portion of the rotatable sealing element 40 above the shielding member 50. The rotatable sealing element 40 preferably includes an outer layer of resiliently deformable material such as closed cell foam. The rotatable sealing element 40 may include radially-extending blades.
