Abstract: A stand for a vacuum cleaner having a hand-held main unit with a first locking arrangement for releasable locking to a second locking arrangement of a tube arrangement. The stand comprises a manually operated actuation mechanism adapted to actuate a release button or release mechanism to unlock the hand-held main unit from the tube arrangement while the vacuum cleaner is placed in the stand.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner nozzle, having a connector socket, pivotally connected to the nozzle by a joint. The connector socket has an inner tubular opening configured to receive a vacuum cleaner tube. A connector socket release mechanism, has a locking member, moveable between a first position, where it is inserted in the tubular opening of the connector socket in order to retain the vacuum cleaner tube therein, and a second position, where it is forced out of the tubular opening by a movement in the joint, in order to release the vacuum cleaner tube.
