Abstract: A carpet cleaning device having brush rollers which extend cantilevered on both sides of their point of drive and are plug-engaged in head pieces rotating on a shaft, the head pieces being extended by coupling bushings which engage at their free end, by means of coupling claws, into mating claws of the hub of a drive gear which turns on the shaft.

Abstract: A guiding device for a household apparatus has a first tubular member fixedly mounted on a housing of the apparatus, a second tubular member which is telescopable relative to the first tubular member and has a handle and a switch, and an electric conductor which extends inside the tubular members and is helical inside the fixedly mounted tubular member and rectilinear in the telescopable tubular member so as to extend from the housing of the apparatus to the switch and to be clamped in the telescopable tubular member in the region of an initial end portion of the latter.
