Abstract: An endpiece for a vacuum cleaner comprising a plate (3) having a lower surface which rests on the ground and optionally fitted with elements such as brushes (8), optionally comprising channels which direct suctioned air to a suction opening (5), also having an upper surface (4) which is fitted with a tube (6) which communicates with said opening and which is connected to a suction unit located close to the tube or at a distance therefrom in the case of an installation having a centralized suctioning unit. The lower surface (7) of the plate (3) comprises at least three suction channels (9,10) between which a wiping device (12) is mounted, said two channels (9,10) being disposed to the front and to the rear of the wiping device (12) in the direction of displacement of said endpiece on the ground during vacuuming.

Abstract: The invention concerns a fork comprising at least one arm at the lower end whereof is mounted the wheel axle and the upper end whereof is associated with a steering pivot. In said fork, on the steering pivot and at the front thereof is fixed a rigid frame comprising at least one vertical flange used for mounting two mutually offset horizontal axles, for articulating the ends of two upper and lower links, whereof the other ends are articulated on each arm of the fork in the upper third of the length thereof, with one end fixed on the rigid frame and its other end fixed to one of the two upper and lower links.
